Magicians from across the world descended on South Tyneside for a night of family fun.
The conjurers performed in a Family Magic Extravaganza at The Customs House, Mill Dam, South Shields, to kick off South Tyneside International Magic Festival.
The week-long event, run in partnership with South Tyneside Council, is celebrating its 10th anniversary.
Among the acts was American Scott Land, the man behind the puppets in film Team America: World Police.
He said “This is my first time performing in England and my first time at the festival.
Magic festivals get people that are interested in magic and magicians together in a unique way.
I got into puppets when I was at a fair with my friends when I was 10 and I saw a puppeteer.
I make all of my own puppets and each one takes about four months.
I never thought that it would turn into a career.”
South Shields’ own Sarah Lloyd – who performs as Magic Myrtle – said “I got into magic as a kid, caught the bug and never looked back.
I love performing magic for kids because to them it’s still real and it’s great to see the looks on their faces.”
James Hudson, also known as Flash, also from South Shields, added “This is my second time at the festival.
It’s great because I get to meet up with some of my favourite magicians from all over the world, and you don’t get to do that at every convention.”
Graeme Shaw, who also performed in the show, said “This is the big 10th year and there are some really big names here.
I think this convention is so popular because there’s not another one like it, and there’s no other place like South Tyneside.
Wherever people come from, France, Spain, Germany, America, Argentina, they always comment on what a beautiful place it is.”
The show also featured performances from Gary Dunn and Tony Junior.

BRIT award winner James Morrison has been announced today as one of the headline acts for this year’s Mouth of the Tyne Festival.
Three years after his last show at Tynemouth Priory & Castle sold out in record time, the popular solo artist is set to return this summer.
Chart-topping James is playing only a handful of dates this year and has chosen the Tynemouth setting to perform hits from his three platinum albums on Saturday 13th July 2013.
Tickets for Mouth of the Tyne Festival cost £25 each plus booking fee go on sale from 9am on Thursday 7th March on the TicketMaster website.
North Tyneside Elected Mayor, Linda Arkley said “I am delighted to welcome James Morrison back to North Tyneside.
Securing another high calibre music act for a sixth consecutive year is testament to the event being established as one of the North’s favourite summer festivals.
Tourism is worth £243million to the borough’s economy and this festival is a key event in our calendar.”
Best known for the hits ‘You Give Me Something’, ‘Wonderful World’, ‘You Make It Real’ and ‘I Won’t Let You Go’, Warwickshire-born James Morrison is an English singer-songwriter and guitarist who has enjoyed chart-topping success since his rise to fame in 2006.
As well as James Morrison, Tynemouth Priory & Castle has played host to a number of big name artists over the past few years including The Wanted, McFly, The Script, Scouting for Girls and Beverley Knight.
Supported this year by Kier North Tyneside, the four-day festival features live music, theatrical entertainment and special one-off performances.
Further details of the weekend’s programme of acts will be announced soon.
