How incredible is Raffey Cassidy?!

She has been very busy since staring as Molly Moon in Molly Moon and the Incredible Book of Hypnotism. In her latest interview for the entertainment website Interview, she says that now she has other ambitions too, “Recently I decided as well as an actor I would also like to be a fashion designer…I would like to study it in university”. You can read the full interview here.

Perhaps you can learn some tricks and hypnotise a few people to get some extra-special Christmas presents this year.

The UK movie premier took place as part of Into Film Festival’s programme on 24 November at the ODEON in Covent Garden, London. Raffey Cassidy came down from Manchester to watch it on the big screen. She is brilliant in the movie.

I hope you like it. Happy Hypnotising everyone…

Raffey Cassidy – An amazing talent

Have you seen the movie Tomorrowland? Raffey Cassidy was brilliant in it. She plays a robot girl who has a heart. I won’t tell you what happens but just that she is very believable and watchable and her final scene is very moving. She starred alongside George Clooney and was easily as good as him.

It will be interesting to see what she does next.

You will love Raffey in Molly Moon and the Incredible Book of Hypnotism, when you see it.

Some of you may have already seen the movie at a film festival, however, if you haven’t there will be announcements soon about this years impending release. August in America and October in the UK, other countries later this year.

If you are interested in hearing more about Raffey as Molly Moon, you can find an interview on the website and lots of behind the scenes pictures too.

Love
