Aaron Jones was the winner of the fourth annual magic/comedy night organised by the Huddersfield Circle of Magicians.

The event, hosted by Orlando Gubbini at his Grange Moor restaurant Orlando’s, gave six local magicians the opportunity to impress an audience and judges with a 10-minute display of stage magic.

Aaron, from Sheffield, won by locating the corner of a torn-off card inside a hot dog sausage. Second place went to Olli Bassett, from Thongsbridge, who presented a combined magic/comedy routine as an ex-policeman demonstrating a card trick that culminated in him spitting the card out of his mouth.

Coming third was Jason Abbs, as a character called Chavracadabra, whose card trick went deliberately wrong.
