Magic Veteran Reg Martin Honored with Magic Circle’s Highest Distinction

 A lifetime devoted to magic is being recognized in a big way, as British magician Reg Martin is set to receive one of the highest honors in the magic world.

This July, The Magic Circle will award Martin the prestigious Gold Star—a distinction reserved for only a select few within the organization. It represents the highest level of membership and is granted solely at the discretion of the society’s president.

A Career Built on Magic

Hailing from Bicester, Oxfordshire, Martin’s journey in magic spans decades. He spent 13 years working behind the scenes on the legendary The Paul Daniels Magic Show and has long been respected not only as a performer, but as a creator of magical effects.

Martin first joined The Magic Circle more than 40 years ago, during a time when entry into the society required sponsorship from existing members and a formal performance examination. Aspiring magicians had to present a polished act—often around 12 minutes—judged by experienced professionals.

From there, members could advance through the ranks, ultimately reaching the coveted Inner Magic Circle. But the Gold Star? That’s a level few ever attain.

A Legacy of Creativity

While Martin built his reputation performing classic magic—think timeless routines like cups and balls and linking rings—he now considers himself more of an inventor.

“I’m coming up with new ideas,” he shared, emphasizing that true innovation comes from a deep understanding of the art.

Even after surviving a stroke a decade ago, which forced him to step away from performing, Martin never stepped away from magic itself. Instead, he continued creating, designing, and contributing to the craft he loves.

The Hobby That Became a Lifetime

Like many magicians, Martin’s story began with a simple magic set as a child. What started as a hobby grew into a lifelong passion—and ultimately, a career that has influenced both audiences and fellow magicians alike.

“The hobby side of magic is really the thing that’s kept me going,” he said.

A Well-Deserved Honor

With more than 1,700 members worldwide—including names like Dynamo, Jamie Raven, Debbie McGee, and Magical Bones—The Magic Circle remains one of the most respected organizations in the magic community.

Martin’s upcoming Gold Star recognition places him among an elite group of performers and creators who have made lasting contributions to the art.

And while awards like this celebrate a career, Martin’s story is a reminder of something deeper:

Magic isn’t just about performing—it’s about passion, persistence, and never losing the curiosity that started it all.

Einswine the Pig

 Now available at www.magiciansmagicshop.com

Einswine is oink snorting fun! But it’s snot funny. No, actually it IS funny and a great effect to keep your show rolling with laughs. Show a satin eighteen-inch scarf with the face of a cute pig. It’s Einswine the Pig and he’s really congested. Drape the scarf over your hand and begin removing green snags, snips, and snozzles. These one-inch green sponge balls are pig-ments of your imagination. Not snot, pig-ments. Fifteen of the little boogers, balls, are picked from the scarf. Then Einswine gives a big sneeze and blows his nose off. Oh, Nasty! Yes, it’s a pig nose. Show the scarf again and Einswine is nose-less. Einswine is fun and funny magic but it’s not just a low-ball attempt at childish humor. We have written several fun and educational ideas to make him the Einswine of entertainment for children’s performers - great library, reading, and gospel application ideas as well. Comes with everything; specially made Wonder Imagery double sided satin scarf, fifteen sponge balls, pig nose gimmick, and online video instructions. Instructional video is below.
