Meet the 22-year-old female magician (who's usually mistaken for a glamorous assistant) - Telegraph

Here's an article in the telegraph about Megan Knowles-Bacon, who was President of the Magic Society, last year. Megan's doing some amazing things within the Magic Circle at the moment, and is really showing how being in the Society can help fuel a career in magic. If you are interested in Magic, as a career or even just a hobby, then come along to the Society on Friday in KS17 at 7.30pm.

telegraph.co.uk Megan Knowles-Bacon, 22, is the only female magician to be elected to the upper echelons of The Magic Circle. She talks to Radhika Sanghani about the lack of women in conjuring and how she uses her gender to her advantage

25/10/2014

We were lucky enough to have Andrew Paul and Dave Loosely, from Alakazam Magic come and teach us some amazing effects on Friday 23rd October!

07/10/2014

A huge congratulations to Megan Knowles-Bacon, who was the President of UKC Magic Society last year. She got elected to be the Secretary of the Magic Circle and has managed to become the first female officer of the Magic Circle in its history. Megan says that she couldn't have done this if she hadn't been president of UKC Magic Society last year, and we believe her to be a great example of how magic can really open doors for everyone. So get involved this year!! We're going to have a lot of exciting events and activities that you can be a part of and really gain experience and skills that will help you to achieve great things, just like Megan!
