Lizabell's News and Musings

20th December

Well, we have reached the end of another amazing term with the SOTerians. It has been a real adventure for us and a delight to meet and spend time with such a wonderful group of people each week for a couple of hours. Friday sees the Kids Kabaret Performance by the group, and this one looks to be something really special.

Manik and I want to thank everyone who came on this journey with us and we want to wish you all a happy Christmas and for all your dreams to come true next year.

The new year has presented us with many more adventures, and we will be taking a break from the weekly School. Anyone who wants to take part in SOT workshops can find us in several different locations around town including Peat's Ridge Festival teaching magic, circus and mainly having a really great time.

So we hope you will join us.

1st November

The new semester of SOT has begun and we are planning another SOTerian performance that will sweep you off your feet.

The next few weeks will see the SOTerians transform from unassuming school kids and parents, into wondrous beings with magical powers, who will lead an audience through a journey into their special world.

Enrolments for the term have closed, however anyone who still wants to be part of the magic can join the team for a cycle of 5 weeks.

Anyone interested in doing this has a chance to jump in on Friday 16th Nov.

The fee for a 5 week cycle is $100.

28th September - Festivals, Workshops, New Friends and a New Semester at The School

The past few weeks have been really busy ones for us at SOT. The performance by Manik Jones and the SOTerians in Balmain last week was a huge success.

We have also been to some wonderful festivals around Sydney where we made many new friends. People young and old gathered around the School of Transmogrification market stall to see amazing feats of magik performed by Manik and the crew. The tricks performed are all on sale at our stalls and all who buy them are given personal instruction on how they work. SOTerian circus equipment like poi, devil sticks, spinning plates and lots more are also available for people to play with and buy from our festival stalls or through the website. To place an order for magic or circus equipment, contact us.

A special appearance was made by Mini Manik at the Strathfield Spring Fair. Mini M loved the attention he got and will be popping in for visits regularly.

Wednesday 10th October you can catch Manik and Lizabell at the Rozelle Neighborhood Center where they will be running a special School Holiday Workshop of Magic and Circus Skills. Magik tricks will be revealed and you will be guided in how to perform them as a professional. Circus skills will be taught to the beginners and developed for those who already have an idea.
Tickets are very limited so if you want to be there, book your place now by contacting us or calling the RNC direct on 9555 8988.

Friday 12th October, Manik and the SOTerians will appear on Cannel 7 weather at around 6pm. Tune in and have a look, we'll send you a wave.

The following week, Friday 19th October is the start of a brand new semester for The School. Enrolments are now open so if you would like to book your place for 9 weeks of Fun, Magik and Transformation call us NOW.

If you missed us at these events, you can catch us in the coming weeks at Surry Hills Festival, Newtown Festival and Glebe Street Fair. For details see Calendar of Events
