Treasures that light a fire in my imagination.
A fortune telling song which I will use to pick spectators. Here’s an idea. Someone is hiding a black marble. The rest are hiding a clear marble. A spectator is asked to chose someone from the audience. We use the ryhme to find the one who holds the black marble.
So many slick looking suited and booted magicians parade the magic market.
Anyone can buy a trick these days. Go on google magic trick shops and you’ll find them. Tons of effects, prepacked and available for all.
You wouldn’t believe what you can find if only you look. Are you looking for a life changing experience? I wasn’t but I had one and I think you could to if you choose to see what’s hidden in plain sight.
I was a wedding magician yesterday at East Sour Farm in Devon. Have a look at the page if you’re looking for a venue.
Yesterday I saw how far I’ve come as an entertaining performer. By no means is my journey complete but I’m proud having done a good job yesterday. This is an honest account not arrogant self assurance. The wedding at East Sour yesterday was a table gig. Sadly at weddings people don’t like to book a magician for a cabaret or floor show. This means that the first table you work has to be good. If for whatever reason the first table doesn’t react well the rest of the room is dubious and it can be difficult to build atmosphere.
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.
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?
