the best without a shadow of a doubt!!

Ice Bar London
By 4
o’clock I was dressed and ready to leave, with my bag packed full of magical
goodies to dazzle and amaze the guests with, I gave myself plenty of time to
get there as I was going by train, no problems on the way and I arrived at 6pm,
an hour early which was good so I stood at the bar and sipped a nice cole glass of ice water.
I met with
the event organiser had a very delightful chat, all the employees at the IceBar
are very polite and VERY accommodating which isn’t always what us performers
get when working at a venue.
The corporate
party was held downstairs - 200 guests booked plus 5-6 waiting staff, 2 security
staff, a DJ, an events organiser a magician (ME) and a partridge in a pear tree
in one room with a max capacity of 200, it was not only noisy but hot too.
The guests
started to arrive thick and fast so I set about my doing my thing…..
Well all I
can say is WOW, what a bloomin’ marvellous crowd it was, happy polite and very
eager to see the magic I was performing.
I was
pulled from one group to another by one person because he wanted to show me off
to his colleagues after seeing one of my favourite card tricks, I even had
people coming up to me asking me to do magic for them while I was mid
performance of a routine with another group.
One guy
couldn’t get enough and kept watching me and saw some of the same tricks more
than once, he came up and said
“I cant
believe you, I’ve just watch you do that 3 times and I still don’t know how you
do it”
Its moments
like that, that make me happy to do what I love doing, and in fact the whole
night made me very happy I was buzzing after the 3 hour booking.
I did a
trick to one group and the showed the same effect to the small congregation
just next to them, so the first group had the advantage of seeing everything a
second time, well they had told me how crazy it was that they saw from
different angles and commented on my sleeves being rolled up,
“AND STILL
COULDN’T SEE HOW I DID IT”.
How can I
top that?!
The night
ended with me demonstrating my talents with the same trick to 3 different
groups of people (it was one of my favourite coin tricks).
Someone in
the last group said
“Fu** off I
was watching your hands all the time how the hell did you do it?”
With that
he gave me a beer shook my hand and I left.
I had
performed a few new tricks and even some old ones that I have not done in a
long time, the new and old tricks are all going back in the bag, they all
received top reactions.
I look forward
to the next IceBar gig!
