WATCH magician Alex Robertson perform a card trick at The King's Head in Cirencester.

Alex, who mentored Corraine Collins of Corraine Collins Dance Studios for Gloucestershire's Star Talent contest on Friday, said: "Corraine did so well. The audience absolutely loved her and she raised almost £4,500 so it was a very positive thing."

The contest, which saw Gloucestershire businesspeople battle it out on stage at Cheltenham Town Hall, having been trained up by various local entertainers, was won by a street dance troupe from Colour Connection, a web design firm from Gloucester.

Alex is a full-time entertainer and member of the prestigious Magic Circle. One of his regular gigs is performing every Sunday lunchtime at The King's Head.
