Who are Northcott & Carney Magic?

Both teachers full time, magic is our side-passion, and we get great enjoyment through learning new tricks and sharing these with others to see their reactions! So how did two maths teachers get into magic?!

  

In 2017 Carney went on a family holiday to Vegas, and there fell in love with magic through the performances and meeting the infamous Penn & Teller. Upon returning to the staff room and sharing the videos of tricks he had seen there, Northcott also caught the magic bug, and we would each try to figure out how to do the various tricks for ourselves! It is one thing watching videos and understanding how to do it, but a whole other thing to be able to perform the tricks for yourself, which led to weekly challenges as to who could perform a new trick the best, and working together to critique and develop. Carney first brought the Lie Detector trick to the table, while Northcott practiced Three Card Monte, and over time and a lot of practice, we now have a great range of tricks up our sleeves to wow our audiences! 

We have been working together on our magic ever since, initially performing to friends and family for our own and their enjoyment. We started to get asked to do various events, from birthday parties to cocktail parties, weddings to corporate events, so at the start of 2019 we took the plunge to bring our magic to the public, creating our brand Northcott & Carney Magic and pushing our talent and passion on a professional level. We are excited to continue to share our magic, and look forward to what the future holds for Northcott & Carney Magic!
