End of 2014

What a year it has been. I have been so busy with gigs all over London and Hampshire for the Christmas party season, from corporate events to private house parties.

One of my highlighted seasonal gigs was for the Army at the beginning of december. I had misunderstood the booker, I was under the impression it was the Sergeants AND their Wives, an intermit party of about 30 people, possible a sophisticated event.......... How wrong was I, I found out about an hour before I left for the show that i was going to be performing to just the wives! Yes 30 Drunken women that don't get to go out much, aged between 18-35, AND I was the only entertainment booked.
So I quickly changed my repertoire for my stage act and close up magic and had a brilliant night.

The last show of the year was at the Icebar London, Close up magic around the tables first then later in the evening I followed the lovely trixie kixx for an amazing stage show which went down a HOOT.

So a big thank you to all my followers, The Ice Bar and to all the clients I've worked with over the past year

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL

At the Ice Bar

It sure is a pleasure to work at some venues and the ice bar in London has to be one of the best without a shadow of a doubt!!

GO THERE! ITS AMAZING
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!

Magic in Farnborough

Well last night was a wonderful private gig of all things magic in Farnborough, a family party.
It is really good when people gasp in amazement and applaud you for something you have made vanish or appear, it's those moments that i love and cherish.

I ended up doing 20 minuets longer because I forgot myself as I was simply having too much fun - probably more than the guests were?!

I think the coming season will be a busy one!
See you round Hampshire.

Gigging for BMW

I really should do this blogging thing more, I shall find time from now on.

Over the Olympic season I have been busy with my conjuring skills in many venues, but this one show that stuck out for me was for BMW in a show room.
I was hired to entertain the masses as they waited and queued to have their photos taken with the Olympic torch.
It was a very hot day and there were lots of families but rest asured I did them well. Lots of laughter and stunned faces as watches changed time In someone else’s hand and £20 notes changed into dollar bills.

What a superb gig it was for me, I even had children doing magic tricks for me which was fascinating – Not very often you get that at a show!
I really can’t wait for another big show like that, It gives me such a buzz to perform in such wonderful situations with amazing people.

I have lots of new stuff to work on for my future magic shows to make them bigger and better.
