Big Al - magician

All present were in for a treat as Al demonstrated the close up / tabletop magic way of making coins disappear ( I hear you say so what my missus can do that) But this chap was truly the coin trick master! He showed the group a bunch of great slights and some of his trademark routines.

Coins across, Al's Vanish and coins and scarf routine which was in progress!!

Good lecture

Corporate Magic - For Allen Overy in LONDON City square mile

Tonight I mixed it again yet with the ladies and gents from the City this evening it was 'Allen Overy' the top legal firms turn.

They seemed to enjoy a good mix of Close-up magic, card tricks and mind-reading during the evening.

The photograper took a few snaps and all was good.

The venue was Christ Church Spitalfields, Fournier St, London. A tremendous and very beautiful venue in the heart of the city. Very Magicial!

Back in L.A

So, another trip to L.A this time I met up with my good friends L.A magicians Tony Picasso top geezer and Mr Howar(d) Hamburg. (Pictured) Spend time hanging out and listening to some of Howard’s great stories about Dai Vernon, Jennings and the Boys... My particular favourite was the one about Cardini's monkey.

Also on the trip got to witness the Hooker Card rise, not a trick performed by a lady of the night but by DR Hooker of the early 19th Century, which only a handful of lucky people have ever witnessed. (Prior to this performance only 150 people in all.) These magicians included Harry Houdini, Al Baker, and others of that era. An account (no explanation) can be found in greater magic and Pallbearers Review.

The evening was hosted by Mr Steinmeier and Mr Gaunt they asked the audience to question methods used during the performance and to take notes of possible plausible means. (The effect has never been worked out).

Other highlights were meeting up with a fantastic old card shark (who will remain nameless)... Suffice to say he's the Oregon Gambler who tipped a card muck to Vernon for the revelations book. I sat in his company for 7 whole hours showing me the work and telling tales of times long passed. A truly awesome time!

Daily Candy Magican

Put Sav the Deceptionist at the top of your guest list. This conjurer and mind reader has all sorts of magic up his sleeve. In his favourite act, the ‘mix and mingle’, he goes walkabout midparty, wowing guests with random coin disappearances, floating objects and card tricks that’ll get even the dreariest of people talking.

Want to be the host(ess) with the most(est)? Allow Sav to play with your body as well as your head; if you’re lucky, he’ll stuff you in a box and saw you in half. Book Sav for a corporate bash for 200 or a cosy dinner for twenty (where he’ll happily arrive as the mystery guest) and let him work his magic.

He’ll pull out every trick in the hat.
