Cambridgeshire Magician For Hire?
Local Cambridge Magician
When Tj Shoesmith first became a professional Cambridgeshire Magician, back in 2001, as Cambridge was the first place that he worked. He moved to the city when he was five years old and spent most of his childhood in the area.
He was a member of the Pentacle Club, a local group with excellent and experienced performers, the best environment for a young Cambridgeshire magician to have. He has since been back to the club to lecture on close-up magic, stage magic and theatrical technique. He talks about how he first joined the Pentacle Magic club in his article, “A Cambridge Magician – Childhood Memories“.
Cambridge has provided a lot of work for Tim, with many appearances at the local colleges. These included Kings, Fitzwilliam. Trumpington Hall, Downing College and Trinity Hall as well as many private events. He has been invited back three times to perform as a close up magician for the same company at The Saltmarsh Rooms.
“It was great meeting you and everyone loved the magic you did for them. Your tricks were great. Thanks again and hope you continue to have success in your career. You’re great, and a nice guy. I’ll pass your name along to anyone who may be able to use you in the future.” – Ryan Gold (Jesus College Cambridge)
He has also performed at many of the Theatres in and around the city including the Mumford and ADC as well as working with Cambridge Touring Theatre Company. As a child, he won the Cambridge Drama award at the Arts Theatre in Cambridge.
Cambridge companies include John Lewis, Audley End House and Gardens, Chilford Hall and The Revolution Bar. Sporting venues include Cambridge Rugby Club and Ramsey Golf and Bowls Club.
It is the most remarkable city, nicknamed Cycle City by the CB radio users many years ago; you can’t move for pedestrians and cyclists. With its mixture of listed buildings and modern offices, it has something for everyone. He even entered the Buskers Competition as a street magician, Cambridge voted, but he was not a winner on this occasion.
“I have travelled to many wonderful places while working as a magician but, Cambridge is the place I love to return to most.” Tj Shoesmith

THe Pentacle Club
