The Worthing event takes place at The Vintner’s Parrott, Warwick Street, Worthing, Sussex BN11 3DL

The general format for Card Capers is that from 10am to 12:30am Paul Gordon will present his Card Magic lecture. From 12:30am until 1:30pm, Lunch will be held at the venue (or find a local pub.) Pay your own way, so check with venue about food availability. The bar is open 12-2pm to “session” then. From 1:30pm to 5pm, Paul Gordon will teach and discuss all the nitty-gritty stuff: Angles, moves, nuances, misdirection, sleights, tricks, routining, patter and more tricks! And, Paul will help teach registrants on areas they struggle with. And – tips on “The Business” of Magic!

The idea of the day is to have fun whilst learning. Paul Gordon likes to take the snobbery out of magic and learning. He really wants you to be able to learn what he loves to teach! and if a glass of Wine or cool Beer helps you relax; then why not! There’s a lot of laughs during Card Capers!
