Photobox Party London


Well Thursday evening I found myself venturing into London to perform at the Millennium conference centre and Hotel in Kensington for 'Photobox's Christmas Party'. A few companies tend to wait until the busy December period is over before they have their festive celebrations. It was in one of the suites at the top of the building and it really was quite stunning. They had opted for a Vegas theme so other entertainment included a casino and Vegas backdrops with a photographer.

I was performing for an hour during their champagne reception and then another hour during around the tables between courses. I have been working on some new material for my mix and mingle magic so I showcased a couple of these routines and the response was great so these will now be added to the repertoire from now on.

Also a question that I get asked very often after performances is 'How far are you willing to travel for an event?' The answer is I will always travel to where ever I am needed. Living in Bristol now I still find myself travelling to London quite frequently and sometimes either further Brighton, Cornwall and Birmingham.

Anyway thats all for now, I have a couple of wedding fayres lined up in February along with the first weddings of the 2011 for me.

New years eve in January


New years eve is always a busy evening for performers and this year I has the pleasure of working for two hours doing close up magic around the tables at Boca Bar in Bristol. The event was fantastic other performers on the bill included two jugglers one stilt walker and a caricaturist. I got around all the tables in the time frame and had some fantastic responses to my work which is always nice. I managed to get hold of a couple of photographs......

After the Boca Bar event I headed straight to the 'Tabacco Factory" where I was performing walk around magic throughout the entire venue. Although certain areas where slightly easier where the music wasn't quite so loud. Again this was a fantastic event with a Circus theme and various circus performers scattered throughout the building.

It was certainly an exhausting evening but fantastic at the same time.

Next gig is in London on Thursday and it looks like it will be an entertaining evening.
