Last night was the annual awards ceremony at The Magic Circle. I last performed there 3 years ago where I got Dynamo to help me on stage. This year, I got asked again and got to say the words that a 15 year old me could only dream of “please welcome my assistant, the lovely […]
This year I got someone to come and film one of my corporate after dinner shows and edit it together. Then, mixed it in with a few of the television appearances I’ve done. And voila – my 2019 Showreel. Showreels are tricky. As a performer you want to put more in. But I realise people […]
Podcasts have exploded in the last 10-15 years. With the help of Ricky Gervais and a few other famous people, they have become part of the norm. Strange that before then they didn’t really exist and now I wouldn’t want to live without them. Around 10 years, me and my friend did a small podcast […]
A while back I wrote how I was chuffed that I’d made the cover of The Magic Circle’s magazine, The Magic Circular. Well, I’ve now made the cover of UK’s leading magic magazine, MagicSeen Now on issue 84, it’s had everyone on the cover from David Copperfield, Penn & Teller to Dynamo. And now Hudson! […]
Over the last few years I’ve been asked to host a lot of awards ceremonies. After I perform my stand up, after dinner magic act I’ve been asked to hand out the company awards. I’ve now worked out a way of doing it well, with a few magic touches, that makes it really fun and […]
I’ve just returned back from performing at The Magic Castle, Hollywood, Los Angeles. The Magic Castle is a members club in LA on Franklin Avenue (near Hollywood Boulevard). It is the most incredible venue and has the most amazing audiences. Full of the Hollywood elite and mixed in with magicians (they are easy to spot) […]
A few days ago someone asked me what the biggest audience was I’ve ever done magic for. Then, inevitably, someone asked “What’s the smallest?”. I thought I’d repeat the answer here… The biggest was very recently at the Blackpool Magician’s Convention. Ask any magician and he will certainly know of this convention – it’s the […]
2016 was largely considered a bad year (especially for celebrity deaths). In contrast, I had a fantastic year. I was on ITV’s hit show The Next Great Magician. I was made a member of The Inner Magic Circle with Gold Star and had more bookings than ever before. 31st December I had the perfect finish when […]
The Stars of Magic. December is the most magical time of the year. There’s nothing like a bit of magic for all the family to watch to warm the cockles. But where you ask? Good question. This December 27th – 29th I’ll be performing in Bristol at the Redgrave Theatre for the Stars of Magic show. […]
I was very honoured to get a call this weekend from Scott Penrose, the president of The Magic Circle. I’ve now been made a member (of the very elite) Inner Magic Circle with Gold Star. This is the highest degree possible within the society. When I started in magic, at around the age of 14, […]
