Last night we were honoured to have the amazing world renowned Italian mentalist, Mr Luca Volpe lecture at our club! It was a fantastic lecture that certainly packed small and played huge 🔮🤯

Here’s what our club secretory had to say “I can’t remember enjoying a lecture as much as I did yours, Luca. Such style and charm. You have honed your craft to a high degree and generously shared subtle insights and nuances. I highly recommend that any Circle engage your services for their members . Well done and thank you.”
