Welcome to Sylvia Sceptre’s Shows
Sylvia Sceptre is a performance character created by actor and magician Careena Fenton. Sylvia is Victorian in style, part mystic and part show woman! Careena’s aim is to present magic shows with a theatrical sense of story. To give meaning to the magic. Creating a Victorian time travelling magician allows for greater storytelling and theatrical license. Not to mention flamboyant costumes and more interesting props!
Sylvia regards herself as a changeling. A fairy switched at birth, hence her magical powers. There is no proof of the switch but she does have remarkable gifts. She can read minds, conjure spirits and an has uncanny knack for magic. Not only that but if you cross her palm with silver she has the gift of second sight and can read fortunes. As a changeling she has cultivated an excellent taste in fine wine and gin. It was tough, but she found she had to blend in with the locals.
In real life Careena studies magic and performance art. She gained entrance into The Magic Circle in 2008. Careena trained with Desmond Jones in London and at Ecole Phillippe Gaulier in Paris. She also has a degree in English Literature and a keen interest in Victorian Social History. She combines magical storyelling and history into shows and events at historical venues. Previous and current clients include Warwick Castle and Ettington Park Hotel.
Phantasmagorical is her first solo show as Miss Sylvia Sceptre and Bewitched! A mystical show devised for ladies events and hen parties. Please click on the drop down buttons to read more about them.
