CONJURING up an impres­ sive performance, 15-year-old Ben Proos won the top junior award for performing stage magic at the'annual conven­ tion of the Northern Magic Circle, held at the Marine Hall in Fleetwood. ■: Ben; who lives in Brockhall Village, _is a member of the flourishing Conjuring Club at Queen Elizabeth’s Gram­ mar School in Blackburn. The Club is mn by English teacher Mr.Brian',Lead, himself a member of the Inner Magic


■Theodore Memorial Trophy, Ben had.to perform for 10 minutes in front of an audi­ ence of experienced magi­ cians, but he kept his nerve and was delighted to receive the prestigious cup. As well as receiving help


from Mr Lead, Ben has also been coached by professional magician and former QEGS pupil, Shaun McCree, from Burnley.;';, “ x,


• xBen performed on the same bill as Shaun when the school put on a Magic Show as part of its 500th birthday celebra-


■ tions last November, and he hopes to perform both stage magic and close-up magic at a Junior Day of Magic organ­ ised by the Northern Magic

. Circle in Newcastle in July. ; Mr Lead commented: “Ben


only started practising: his magic last September, but he has been a very quick learner and has developed so rapidly that he is now helping some of the younger pupils at school in both the theory and prac­ tice of magic.


“He has even invented a


number of his own tricks and it was a great delight to see him perform so well at Fleet- wood and cany off the trophy. If a professional magician like Shaun McCree is impressed with what he can do at such a young age,'-that’s high praise indeed for Ben.” ^
