Meeting Jim

Hey folks!

Well, it's been a little while since my last post and much has happened thus far during my stay in Dubai. Here's one mini-event from Sezzam:

A couple of days ago, during my set, I got to a table in one corner of the restaurant to find Jim Davidson (yes, he of the controversial stand-up comedy) and family enjoying a quick bite to eat. Did one quick effect that went down well and then did another one about gambling (mentioning, of course, that it's illegal to gamble in the UAE). When I asked if the guy holding the cards would theoretically put money on them still being the ones he'd just seen, Jim stood up and delved into his pocket, pulling out 500 dirhams (about £70). He placed it on the table in front of the cards and sat back down. I laughed and finished the effect, showing exactly why you should never play cards with a magician. He gave me the money as a tip and at the end of my time with them, told me that my final effect was 'the best magic trick I've ever seen... and I've been in this funny business a long time'.

I know he's been accused of a lot during his career, particularly after Hell's Kitchen, but I can honestly say that the guy I met was a gentleman, funny and self-deprecating in equal measure.

Anyway, doubtless there'll be more news to follow..... Watch this space!

Halloween P.A.R.T.Y.

Looking forward to a great night tonight performing at Turnmills nightclub in Farringdon for ProActive Parties. We'll be hosting a stand in The Cinema Room (downstairs on the bottom floor) with a Trick or Treat theme. Clubbers pay £1 and get a treat from the chocolate fountain and a trick from me. This is a great example of using my magic to promote or create a theme at an event. If you're having a themed event, let me know and together we can design a magical solution to keep your guests enthralled all night long.

In the meantime, come down to Turnmills tonight where I'll be performing from 1am until 3.30am. For more info check out: http://www.turnmills.co.uk/ and click the ProActive link.

Urban Magic Soho

I'm pleased to announce that I'll be performing tonight at Urban Golf Soho. You can find out more info and how to get there at http://www.urbangolf.co.uk/.

This is becoming a regular gig on the lead-up to Christmas, so if you're around Soho or Smithfield on a Wednesday or Thursday, pop in, have a drink, play a couple of rounds of golf and see some great magic.

See you there.
