Venue
Most of our meetings take place in a private room at Braunstone Civic Centre. Conveniently located just off the M1, it's easily accessible for members coming from all over the area.
After the main meeting, members often gather in the bar for some socialising over drinks.
The Braunstone Civic Centre is an excellent choice for our club, offering a comfortable and welcoming environment for all of our members.
Lectures
Our members enjoy a programme of internal events and guest lectures from UK and international magicians.
We aim to provide a high quality and varied programme covering various styles of magic.
In recent years we've been proud to host lectures from Michael Ammar, Michael Vincent, David Stone, Eric Jones, Gregory Wilson, Daniel Chard, Tom Wright, John Carey, Paul Gordon and many more.
We also organise internal events and club nights where members have more time to discuss magic.
Please check our programme and make sure you "like" our Facebook Page to keep up to date with upcoming events.
Competitions
The Leicester Magic Circle hosts an annual close up competition where members compete for the Roy Johnson trophy.
If you would like to enjoy a great night of magic then limited tickets are usually available for the general public.
Dates are announced a few months before the event so keep on eye on our programme and get in touch if you would like to compete.
