It’s a Kind of Magic
Jewellery expert Izzie Balmer and mid-century fan Mark Hill head to Wales for the start of a new trip in Pembrokeshire. Magic tricks and a folding cake stand head to auction.
It’s the start of a new adventure in Cymru/Wales with a fresh-faced pair on their first ever road trip together: jewellery expert Izzie Balmer and 20th-century design whizz Mark Hill.
Behind the wheel of their chic 1987 Lotus Γ‰clat, they head into the Pembrokeshire countryside, weighed down with Β£1,500 each to last the week.
Mark Hill makes the first move when he becomes bewitched by some mid-20th century magic tricks in Cardigan, while Izzie Balmer feels sweet about a Victorian folding travel cake stand.
And as if buying, browsing and banter wasn’t enough, everything they’ve invested in goes under the hammer, making one of them the first champ of their antiques adventure.
