Cape Town Magic Club
As a company we visited the Cape Town Magic Club in August 2016. It is a truly magical experience. The venue is hidden away in the Taj Hotelin the centre of Cape Town. The intimate theatre is where you can see some of South Africas best magicians perform up close and personal. There is a small and cosy bar where you wait to be taken through for the show. Here you can mingle with other guests and performers while enjoying a wide selection of beers, wine and cocktails.Once in the theatre the host of the evening has a little chat and gives you some laughs after which the acts are introduced. The magicians invite the crowd to participate and because the theatre is small you can see everything so there is nothing left to the imagination.You will definitely leave this theatre believing magic is real!

Underground tunnels
This is one of Cape Towns lesser known tours but is one not to be missed. The tour runs from the Cape of Good Hope Castle in the City centre which is another great tour on its own. Some of the tunnels date all the way back to 1652. These tunnels have streams of natural spring water which runs down from Table Mountain and other springs to the ocean. You enter the tunnels through a manhole from the Castle of Good Hope into total darkness. Your guides have great knowledge of the tunnels and their history and take you on a journey from centuries ago. These streams of water were once used to feed the city of Cape Town and its travellers who were stopping over.To find out more and book your tour visit the website
