An Exley Head youngster has had his magical talents recognised in a variety show.

Toby Davies, 13, of Ridgeway Mount, took part in the Bradford's Got Talent' show at Bradford College. His 20-minute act - which included illusionist routines, comedy, and audience participation - won him first prize at the event, which was watched by more than 100 people.

Toby, pictured, beat competition from a range of other performing artists, including break-dancers, singers, actors and musicians. The three judges gave him the £50 prize.

Toby, who is in year eight at Oakbank School, has been interested in magic since watching a magician perform at his sixth birthday.

His mother, Sonja Davies, said: "I think he was a bit nervous to start with but in the end he managed very well.

"There was some fantastic talent on display. Toby always performs for us at home and he wants to put on his acts at children's parties."

She said Toby will put the prize towards holiday spending money but had already used some to buy more trick props.
