  • yet another shameless plug

    I am afraid this is another shameless plug for the magic show that I am putting on along with my friend (and wonderful magician) Richard Jones (see his Facebook page here and be amazed). The show is on 23rd May at South Woodham Ferrers Village Hall, starting at 7.30pm. (There is a bar at the Hall…

  • playing with cards

    Recently I took this photograph of myself, ready to use in some publicity for a forthcoming magic show (watch this space for the show publicity, and check out the ‘playing cards and sawing people in half’ page for information about my magic and the club to which I belong). I had to use a tripod…

  • the magic of Christmas

    Regular bloggists among you will know that I am rather keen on magic tricks. I don’t have any special magic powers, I went to a normal school rather than Hogwarts, I am not in league with the Devil and don’t access the ‘dark side’: it’s all down to skill, technique, practice and sleight of mouth.…

  • tribute

    On Friday evening Sally and I went to the annual dinner for the Magic Club to which I belong – Mid Essex Magical Society (MEMS). It was a really enjoyable evening and included awards for the two annual competitions for close-up and stage magic. I had come third in the stage magic competition and was…

  • it’s just another magic monday

    Well, the prestidigitation seems to have gone well (see the previous bloggage). I had a wonderful time, but more importantly those for whom I was performing seem to have enjoyed themselves and I think I left them wanting more. I had some very kind and encouraging comments afterwards. A couple of things occurred to me…

  • prestidigitating (look it up)

    Tonight is the second of three magical evenings for me this week. The first was on Tuesday, where I took part in the Mid Essex Magical Society’s annual Stage Show Competition. I didn’t win, but I was pleased with my performance. The other performances were great too, especially those that beat me – they were…

  • bringing together two of my passions – magic and sci-fi

    In the midst of a busy time I have only got something here to make you chuckle. This cartoon comes from Savage Chickens, and I think speaks for itself. If you click on the image it will take you to the Savage Chickens website. It is used here with permission Be blessed, be a blessing

  • over-run

    Last night I took part in a competition. It was the Mid Essex Magical Society* Stage Magic Competition. I have never competed magically before and was not sure what to expect. It’s not about seeing who can find the most cards a spectator has thought of (I could name 52) or how many ladies you…

  • sore jaw

    My jaw is sore. It is a result of last night. It is not aching from being punched, but from laughing. I had an evening that combined three of my favourite things. I went with a friend to see John Archer perform his wonderful comedy magic at a church in Southend. Friendship, magic, and faith all…
