Tearful schoolkids disappointed after performer's no-show for village event
A MAGICIAN has been accused of leaving a charity out of pocket after carrying out his own disappearing act from a village festival.
Dean Spruce left 100 children upset after failing to show up and has now gone into hiding to avoid furious organisers of the Aberdour Festival.
Spruce who was hired to carry out two shows took his full £300 payment in advance and disappeared without showing up at the event.
Organisers had to give refunds to scores of tearful children on the day and have been left further out of pocket by the cost of hiring the local primary school as a venue.
