My son is severely dyslexic and struggles hard and school to keep his self esteem as he is no good at sport. However he loves magic and it is something he is good at, he has taught himself from DVD and books. Does anyone know a teacher in the Harrogate / York area to help him?

There are several Magic Societies in the Yorkshire area, I suggest you contact one of them. The most local to you is the "Harrogate Society of Magicians"

The contact used to be Dave Bulmer.

Thank you very much - I have been asking for around for ages and it only occurred to me to go on line today - one little chap will be happy!

One problem is sociotys generally cant be much help unless you are 18 (a problem i found in Manchester) but, they may well know where tuition is available.
