August 14th, 2025Magical evening for The Rex

Some people said that it would be magic if Daylesford got its cinema back. Now magic is being used to conjure up that vision.
One of Australia’s greatest magicians is bringing her show to Daylesford for the Phoenix@The Rex Cinema.
Her displays of magic, illusion and mind-reading come with a splendid dinner, plus a seductive combo of swing, bossa and ballads.

Roving magician Cath Jamison, a critics’ favourite and multi-award winner, will weave her spell, while the jazz blues will come from Late Night Radio, comprising Cherie Bridges and friends.
The enchanting Cherie casts her spell with velvety vocals, Jeremy Challender brings the magic to life on the keys, while Bruce Millar lays down a deep, steady groove on the double bass.
Getting it all together will be the inimitable Megan Jones.
All of those involved are strong supporters of the cinema and are performing free.
Hotel Frangos is the venue, on Thursday, August 28. Doors open at 6.30pm.
Tickets are $65 a person include a two-course dinner at one long table, magic, music, razzle dazzle and a raffle with fabulous prizes.
Bookings close on August 24 and may be made by calling Hotel Frangos on 5348 2363, daily from 9am to 5pm.
