VETERAN Wirral magician Bob Romanoff will attempt to amaze and astound visitors to the Walled Garden in Wallasey's Central Park this afternoon.
The 75-year-old entertainer who has been in the business for more than 30 years and is an accomplished singer, promises traditional magic and has a collection of more than 100 tricks.
He told the Globe: "I have performed at venues all over the world and on cruise ships and have really enjoyed my work.
"But I don't class it as a job; it's a hobby that I really enjoy.
"I love seeing the look on people's faces as they try to work out how the trick is done."

At one time, he used to put on the face paint and colourful clothes to play Bobo The Clown.
Looking back on his career, Bob continued: "I was a regular performer at the now long gone Albion Hotel in New Brighton, also used to do a lot of ‘Big-Top’ circus magic.
"My particular forte is the major illusion. I have 100 illusions in my repertoire but can, if required, design and build a completely new effect suitable to the occasion."
Bob’s Sunday magic show in the Walled Garden starts at 2pm.
