A Belfast magician and children's performer says she is overjoyed to have been honoured with an international award as she hopes to continue bringing magic into the lives of others.
Nicola Cunningham who also goes by Nikola Arkane and FizzWizzPop has been working as a magician and children's performer for the past 15 years after falling in love with magic while on a work experience placement, and since then has aimed to bring magical moments into the lives of everyone she meets.
Originally from Tiger's Bay, Nicola never imagined that she would find herself performing at some of the world's most famous magic clubs and had originally planned on entering into the world of theatre.
