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.
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.
Teaching magic can make you a better magician. I’ll put that out there.
I’ve taught a couple of people magic formally. A few informally. Firstly this is rare. Very rare. I never teach, show or allude to how magic is made.
It was such a pleasure to be included in this local mag and I felt like I’d made it. Then I was acutely aware it’s a free mag and I supplied my own photos. Not quite made yet.
Snowing at a stately home in an arboretum! What a magical day.
It being Christmas reminded me of a gift I was given one year by my mum. She’d bought me a rubik cube.
