On the 31st of December, I was asked to perform magic at Andrew and Karen Brigg’s Wedding in Poole – Dorset. Good time to have a party because once the reception is over, it’s time to party again bringing in the New Year!

What I liked about this venue in Poole was that Andrew and Karen had their entire garden covered with

Artificial snow-awesome! The above pic of myself entertaining two of the younger wedding guests  were taken by the talented Darryl and Heather.

I was hired recently to perform close-up magic at Maidenhead’s best kept secret bed and breakfast venue -Redroofs at Oldfield in Maidenhead. It is really stunning. So much so I sent my parents there for my mom’s birthday celebration! This picture above was my changing room! It is one of the main bedrooms which overlooks the Thames. Wonder if the ‘Thames walkers’ can see you having a bath? Perhaps that’s a tourism feature!

In July last year, I took part in a Chi Kung seminar (Chinese exercises) with Daverick Leggart in Buckfast in Devon. It must have been the wettest summer period I have ever known and I had to move my tent several times otherwise I would have floated out to sea! The community down near Totness are very helpful so I had a bit of help moving my ‘home’ about. Mud was everywhere but it didn’t seem to dampen the spirits of the folk there. They also had huge tents so we could do performances and I of course did a stand up show of psychological magic for them all.

Mind Reading in Twyford

Last year on the 9th of November, myself and some members of the Home Counties Magic Society put on a show  at the Lodden Hall theatre in Twyford. An article was published in the Reading Post where this photograph appeared.

It was a great evening with myself doing mentalism, Simon Williams performing comedy magic, Mo Wellar performing illusions and Simon Alexander being the compere. We also had close up magicians at the bar consisting of Clive Winterton, Chris Marris and Rob Bones. Check out our website: www.berkshire magicians.com. The website was created by our guru Andrew Webb.
