Event Description
In the sleepy town of Bideford in Devon stood the largest supplier of magic effects to magicians in the world!
The name of the company was The Supreme Magic Company. Steve will tell you the amazing story of how the company was formed and its eventual end.
Supreme Magic supplied magic props to amateur magicians as well as the top names in magic including Tommy Cooper, Paul Daniels and the American magician David Copperfield.
The company was formed by Edwin Hooper and with a loan from his father and income from performing shows, Edwin formed this unique business.
