On Tuesday 11 November, ARTS SOCIETY WOKING’s talk is Wonder Workers and the Art of Illusion (The History of Magic through Art and Pictures). For millennia, the fascination with magic and the impossible has been widespread. Egypt was the cradle of magic, where sorcerer priests used scientific principles to create illusions for the edification of worship and to hold power over the people. The talk, by Bertie Pearce, who is a member of the Inner Magic Circle, takes the audience through the history of mystery and magic from 3000 BC to the 21st Century, including the formation of the Magic Circle. Talks start at 10.30am but doors open 9.45am for tea, coffee & biscuits. Normandy Village Hall, GU3 2DT. Members may bring a visitor, who may want to make a donation to the Society of £10.
