Former Royal Marine commando and magician Tim Saiet is adding his insight into the meaning of life on a religious course in Devizes.

Mr Saiet, a member of the Magic Circle and an ordained Church of England minister, will speak at a taster session at Hayden’s Bakeries on Hopton Industrial Estate on January 11 at 7.30pm.

He will be bringing his magical talent to an Alpha course organised by St James Church in Devizes.

Curate, the Rev Justin Bradbury, said: “This is an opportunity to enjoy the amazing and very amusing talents of Tim Saiet. It’s too good to miss. There is no cost, and no catch.”

Each meeting begins with a good, free meal and speakers from all denominations will describe how their lives have been transformed by the teachings of Jesus.

Hayden’s managing director Paul Smith took part in an Alpha course in 2008. He said: “What struck me most was the warm welcome.”
