Bicester magician to be awarded with Magic Circle award
Reg Martin, from Bicester, spent 13 years working behind the scenes on the Paul Daniels Magic Show.
The magical performer, who is also known as a creator of magical effects, is set to receive the Magic Circle Gold Star award in July – the highest level of membership.
With more than 1,700 members worldwide, including Dynamo, the Magic Circle is one of the most respected organisations in the magic world.

Mr Martin joined the circle more than 40 years ago when entry to the society required sponsorship from existing members and a formal performance exam.
After surviving a stroke a decade ago, he has been unable to perform and has since stepped away from magic. Instead, he continues creating, designing and contributing to the craft.
