TEAM

The College of Magic is powered by a passionate community of people who make the impossible possible. Our dedicated core team manages the day-to-day operations, training and creative direction of the organisation. They’re supported by an incredible group of volunteer instructors who share their time and talent to help train our students and bring our events to life.

Guiding it all is our non-executive management board, which meets quarterly to provide strategic oversight, governance and support for the College’s long-term vision. Together, they form the heart of the College of Magic – where passion, purpose and performance meet.
