Crazy Christmas

12/12/2018

0 Comments

 
The Christmas period is always a bit crazy with private and works parties; this year seems madder than ever and I will be taking a well-earned rest once it's over.  Plenty of space for bookings next year though so just get in touch for a quote or advice on making your occasion that extra bit magical...

Some pics of recent bookings.  A stint as the 'Bud-Light Magician' at a few trade fayres around the country (including meeting ex-England and Leicester City striker Emile Heskey)  and a great gig working with Little Sam Lyons who is a great vocalist and comedy entertainer...

Corporate Magic

16/8/2018

Hi there!  One area of magic I enjoy doing is corporate work; always varied, interesting locations and fun to do.

I was booked recently by Mercedes for the launch of their new electric Smart Car at Syon House in Brentford.  I'm a big fan of Smart cars so it was great to see the public trying them out on the drive of the majestic building.  It was a family occasion so close-up for kids and adults throughout the afternoon kept the public entertained.
Lucid Group in High Wycombe booked my corporate lecture 'Expand Your Mind'.  I spent the morning demonstrating aspects of mind-reading, body language, building confidence and how to train your memory; all aspects which any organisation will find valuable in their workforce.  There is even a 20-page booklet explaing the techniques in more detail for everyone to take home.  This is all presented with a good dollop of showmanship adding to the fun!

The Beautiful and Bad

25/2/2018

Recently did a series of gigs near the Peak District where it was beautiful and recent snow made the going difficult to say the least!  Stayed in a large but cheap hotel as my base.  No names but it was the most wonderfully BAD hotel ever... I thoroughly enjoyed my stay as the whole place was hilarious... sticky carpet, bare plaster walls, windows that don't shut, curtains with holes, a spot the uncracked tile competition in the bathroom, NO FOOD (reception kindly explained the 24-hour garage down the road has sandwiches) and a leather headboard feature (see picture).

Corporate Training with Magic

18/1/2018

0 Comments

 
Last week I had the pleasure of presenting a lecture at Loughborough University as part of their Performance Sport Team Day.  I used magic to show how different techniques such as misdirection, psychology and memorisation are used and how they relate to everyday situations and even in sport.  It was a pleasant change to do something a bit different and this is an area I am looking to develop for corporate training sessions.
The afternoon finished with a basic workshop teaching some of the sleights used in magic followed by a balloon twisting contest.  Being elite sports coaches the competition was fierce (but fun!) - see photo.

Festive fun ahead

As every entertainer knows, the run-up to Christmas is a very busy time. Here at The Magic Box it's no exception; extra cards are ordered and stocked, tricks prepared, consumables readied to be consumed, shirts ironed and even the car has been serviced ready for the miles it will cover in December (breaking down on the way to a booking is a recurrent nightmare... thankfully it hasn't happened!).  I've even done my tax return before the deadline!
I'm really looking forward to meeting and entertaining everyone out there in the Real World.  In the meantime, my world is pictured... organised chaos... I think that's what they call it!

Book launch party

31/8/2017

Last week was the Sphere paperback publication day for Louise Jenson’s debut novel, The Sister.  Louise booked me (she loves magic!) to be on hand at Waterstone’s in Market Harborough for the launch party and it was a pleasure to be part of the festivities.  It was an opportunity to adapt my routines to fit the theme of the night and I even tried some new material to make the magic more bespoke for the event; something I always do for corporate functions.  The Sister is a number one best seller and the evening was a celebration of the publication in paperback; I even have my own signed copy now and am enjoying a good read!  Louise’s next book, The Surrogate, will be published on September 27th, 2017.

No rest....

It's been a really busy time the last month; parties, weddings, corporate fun days... in fact I've only had one day off for the past 2 weeks (not complaining though!).  Now the schools have broken up I get to perform for holiday clubs too.  I do a show followed by a magic and balloon modelling workshop and I always enjoy working with the kids.  The pictures below are from a holiday camp I did recently in Colston.  Thanks to Jordan for sending me the photos.

Continuous Professional Development!

8/5/2017

One of the great things about being a member of your local magic society (in my case the Leicester Magic Circle) is the number of great lectures you get to see by professional magicians from all over the world.  It's great professional development and helps you move forward as a magician.  I was lucky enough to be at the Eric Jones lecture last week.  Eric was over from the States on his lecture tour (catch him next month on America's Got Talent) and gave a brilliant lecture on some of his favourite effects.  The thing I liked about him most was his great teaching style (not to mention amazing magic) and it is so cool to go home enthused about the art and ready to get those coins out!.  It helps that he's also a really nice guy too!

Magical mystery tour

A second 'spell' at Bell St. Albans doing a show + workshop for overseas students in the settings of their Hogwarts styled school was followed later in the week by an amazing booking at Warwick Castle for their Staff Party with a War of the Roses theme.  Photo opportunities aplenty... a shame my phone conveniently ran out of charge... grrrr.  Being surrounded by suits of armour and medieval weaponry in The Great Hall was a perfect backdrop to the occasion.
​For the sake of a picture, here's one of Suzy and Keith from a previous wedding.  Every couple gets their photo on the backs of playing cards....
