The latest breaking news about the Gala Show is:

Romany to star at the 2011 Wessex Magical Association One Day Convention in Bournemouth.
International star Romany - Diva of Magic - will close the evening gala show at the WMA One Day Convention on Sunday 3rd April 2011 with her spectacular stage act.
Strongly influenced by 1950s Hollywood and the stars of burlesque, Romany is famous for her fabulous costumes, diamonds and feathers, as well as her highly accomplished magic skills. Time Out described her as "a flamboyant hybrid of Bette Midler and Mary Poppins... a fascinating razzle-dazzle mix of magic, original comedy and intelligent glamour". Romany was honoured by the Magic Circle in 2009 when she became a Member of the Inner Magic Circle with Gold Star for performance.

Romany, who performs professionally as a close-up magician as well as in cabaret and on stage, will also be one of a number of star lecturers at the convention with 'That Thing You Do!'. She says, "It's mainly about presentation, about how we treat props, about how to know who you are before you set foot on the stage, and of course a couple of tricks too. It's pulled from what I've learnt from teachers of magic such as Bob Fitch, Jeff McBride, Eugene Burger and John Carney over the last twelve years."
