Junior Close-up Magic | Dick Gardner Trophy

Donated by Jack Mellor, the Dick Gardner Trophy is awarded in recognition of excellence in close up magic by a junior member. Playing cards may be used in the presentation, but no stage effects will be permitted. The spirit of this competition is to encourage growth in the fields of restaurant, table hopping, trade show and walk around style magic.

This competition was first awarded in 1980. The trophy was renovated and updated in 2006, by then President Mike Norden.

This competition is open to Junior members of the club only.
