A critically-acclaimed magician who has been hand selected to perform with world-famous Dynamo treated Sixth Form students to mind-blowing tricks to inspire them to follow their career dreams.
Birmingham-based iNFiNiTi visited the school to perform in front of Year 12 students as part of Highfields’ revamped and expanded Sixth Form extra-curricular programme.
As part of the new programme, students are treated to weekly visits from a range of organisations and professionals, including Guide Dogs and British Sign Language experts, to expand their skills and knowledge, and showcase the many career options available to them.
More than 100 students attended iNFiNiTi’s performance, where they were wowed with stunning tricks. The magician also spoke to them about his journey, which saw him first finding magic during a trip to New York around 12 years ago before building a successful career with a huge list of high-profile clients, including Birmingham City Football Club, The RAF, Coca Cola, Hotel Chocolat, Royal Mail, Nestle, Heineken and Just Eat.
Mr N Maxfield, Assistant Head of Sixth Form, said: “We were delighted to welcome the extremely talented iNFiNiTi back in to school to inspire our students.
“They were stunned with his tricks, before he spoke to them about pursuing their passions without putting all of their eggs in one basket.
“The story of his career has really motivated them and raised their aspirations. It was a thoroughly enjoyable session that benefited everyone that attended. I would like to say a huge thank you to him for coming in to school and being such an inspiration for our students.”
