The Northern Magic Circle comprises individual members plus affiliated magic clubs covering the whole of the north of England from Derbyshire to the Scottish borders.

It is open to professional and amateur magicians and others seriously interested in magic, is regarded very much in the magic world as a very friendly society, and holds an annual magic convention along with various seminars.

Mr Field said: “The names on the presidential badge are people I looked up to when I was a young magician in my home town of Leeds.

“I never thought then that my name would one day be also there.”
