THE Ace Magic Circle are offering a top night of entertainment with the chance to win a very special trip to Blackpool, and help victims of the Tsunami disaster at the same time.

The group will work their magic with a variety show at the Theatre Royal on Friday 11 February and members of the audience can enter the prize draw simply by buying a show programme.

Top prize is a day trip to Blackpool for two adults and two children. The winners will receive free rail transport from their hometown to Lytham St Annes, where their chauffeur, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, will meet them!

The winners will be driven around Blackpool's promenade and to the world famous Pleasure Beach, where they will be given VIP treatment and free access to everything the park has to offer.

Already confirmed to appear on the variety show bill are the James Long Experience, Brian Sefton, Rick Green Magic, 'Master of Mystery' Adrian Sullivan, plus many more. The event will also feature comedians, singers and comperes, plus a special celebrity appearance.

The event has been officially registered with the British Red Cross and proceeds will go towards the Tsunami Disaster Appeal Fund. Tickets for the show, priced £8.50 adult, £6.50 concessions and £25 for a family group of two adults and two children, are available from the Theatre Royal on 01744 756000.

Anyone wishing to help by sponsorship of any amount will receive publicity in the event programme. Cheques should be made payable to The British Red Cross Society and sent to Roy Critchley, 5 Canberra Avenue, Thatto Heath, St Helens, WA9 5RY. For more information please telephone Roy on 07901 990 220 or 01744 608511.
