Ten hours of non-stop magic at the Moat House Hotel in Liverpool conjured up £1,800 for New Brighton lifeboat station last October.

Twenty members of the Mahatma Magic Circle, three of whom are pictured here (I to r) Don McCamley, John Mills and Harry Davies, performed over 600 tricks during their 'Magithon'. New Brighton station has also recently benefited to the tune of £250 from another feat of endurance when Charles Bretherton completed the Dumfries marathon. photograph by courtesy of Liverpool Daily Post and Echo.
