Published Date: 13 February 2009
Magician Richie Austin will be baffling people at the White Rock Theatre next week when he holds a special charity show to help sick children.
Richie has been out and about in Hastings and the Rye area, promoting the show, which takes place at the White Rock Theatre next Friday.
He is raising money for Georgies' Fund, a charity that funds research into rare childhood cancer Neuroblastoma.
He said: "The charity is very close too my heart as in 2007 I lost my three year old niece Gemma to this particular cancer.
Since then my family and myself have been raising money for the charity and to date have raised over £5,700.
Richie was out and about earlier this month promoting the show on the streets with some close-up magic tricks.
He said: "We have now confirmed that Sid Sloane from Cbeebies and Southern Counties radio is coming to be in the show, Sid himself is also a patron of the charity.
"I have also given away some tickets to Banardos and they are giving them to some well deserved children parents and careers.
"The show itself will be a fun packed magical evening with three of the country's up and coming magicians and illusionists. The whole show is dedicated to the memory of my niece."
As well as Richie, fellow magicians Oliver Tabor and the unique magic duo Galithia Connexion will also be on stage.
Tickets are now on sale at the White Rock Theatre box office priced at £8.50 for adults and £6 for children. A family ticket is also available priced at £25 for two adults with two children.

Seasonal songs and a touch of magic entertained shoppers at Priory Meadow during a late-night shopping event.
Hastings vocal group Vox, William Parker students and Peasmarsh magician Richie Austin performed at the shopping centre last Thursday.
They were collecting for Georgies-fund, a charity supporting research into Neuroblastoma.
Said Richie: "The charity is very close too my heart as in 2007 I lost my three-year-old niece, Gemma, to this rare childhood cancer.
"Since then my family and myself have been raising money for the charity and to date have raised over £5700.
"We only managed to collect £10 at Priory Meadow which was a little disappointing, but we were also promoting the 'Magic at the Rock' show in aid of the charity and in memory of Gemma which will be at the White Rock Theatre on February 20."
