At this Friends of Wimbledon & Putney Commons fundraiser event for the Queensmere Restoration Project you will enjoy two captivating talks by award-winning member of the Inner Magic Circle and Arts Society lecturer Bertie Pearce.

 

In the first talk, Bertie explores the profound mystery of perception, looking at the work of a number of artists including Magritte, Hogarth, and Holbein. Come and see their extraordinary secrets. Can you be sure of what you think you see?

 

Following a light interval supper, the second talk will be a whistle stop tour of the history of mystery: from 3,000BC to the 21st Century, taking in the earliest illusionists, Music Hall, Harry Potter and even the magic of iPads!

 

When & Where: Saturday October 19th @ 6.30pm, Christ Church Hall, 2 Cottenham Park Road, Wimbledon SW20 0RZ.

 

Tickets: £35* pp to include the two talks, a welcome drink with nibbles, and a light buffet supper served during the interval. Wine, beer and soft drinks will be available to purchase.
