Welcome to my journal of magic shows and creativity. I travel around as a magician in Devon and Cornwall. Sometimes other places. I make art and design things for my shows and other people. I hope you find something of interest here.
You get to see some beautiful places when you perform at events. This wedding was no exception.
I looked at the venue on Google maps but you really don’t get the full feeling until you’re there. The map is flat and despite any attempt to make it 3d you won’t know till you visit. Unfortunately you might visit on a bad day and the weather may be foul but his weekend it wasn’t. The weather was stunning.
A magician friend of mine couldn’t make a friends wedding and recommended me for it. It’s nice being able to help out other magicians and even nicer when someone recommends you. I was excited after speaking to Robin about the wedding of two delightful women and he gave me their number so I gave them a call.
Something old,
something new,
something borrowed,
something blue,
and a sixpence in her shoe.
What is this superstitious rambling? It looks like something about the success of a marriage based on folklore. Or is it more than that? It’s up to you to decide. Here are some thoughts that I hope to use in my wedding performances.
I love music. A song can encapsulate a moment and make you feel it again. That song is and can be real time travel to a moment you felt that feeling. A song might unlock a memory. Remind you of something amazing. But What does that have to do with magic?
A hero with 52 faces is someone on a journey with 52 cards and curiosity of the impossible. Exploring the mysteries of the world to find the truth amongst them. It’s the Hero’s journey. A short time when no one knows what fates befall them. What secrets reveal themselves or don’t.
I met Sue at a wedding I was booked for in 2017. Sue is the organiser of events at Calstock Arts Centre. We thought it would be a good idea to put on a magic show to raise funds for the centre and to offer something a bit different for the local community.
I recently got booked for a hen party looking for a table magician. They booked me over a lot of other magicians. Good stuff. This stories funny get ready for it.
