Stage Magic Competition | Percy Poole Trophy
The Percy Poole Trophy is awarded in recognition of excellence in stage magic by a junior member. No effect or routine designed to be performed close up will be permitted. The spirit of this competition is to encourage growth in the fields of school assembly, banquet, club, revue and cruise ship style magic. The trophy was first awarded in 1976 and was replaced and updated in 2006 by then President, Mike Norden.
