This was the third year that I had attended the Blackpool magic convention.  Joining over 4000 magicians & hobbyist magicians from around the world to watch Magic shows, attend lectures by some of the worlds biggest names in magic to wander around the dealers stands in the Winter Gardens Then of course, there is the socialising around the bars in the evening, especially the Ruskin Hotel.

I had the pleasure of meeting Eddie The Eagle earlier this month. He was very complimentary about me. I remember all of the hype in the late 1980's over him as he represented Great Britain in the Olympics in 1988. His story is incredible - you should watch the film about his life starting Hugh Jackman and Taron Egerton it's fascinating. 

In June 2023 I flew to Cornwall staying to nights in Plymouth and entertained near Plymouth at the lovely Elizabeth House for Nicola and Garry's wedding. Staying with friends who I met when entertaining in Plymouth 2019 and remained friends with a visit to them over the years, and then on Tuesday night blew their minds with my premium package, which includes not only Magic, but also mind reading and mentalism. A video will be on YouTube soon. This couple booked to me as their friends booked me in 2019 at the Carlyon Bay near Saint Austell.  

How to book entertainment. One of the easiest proven ways is to contact the act directly. This way you get a good idea of the charisma and personality and will get an understanding of how you are getting with the the person who will probably be at your party. I would also strongly advised to research the person you are looking to Book and watch as many videos as possible and if reading testimonials of reviews ensuring they are authentic and original ones. Having entertainment at your party is a great way to wow your guests, keep them excited and give them a party to remember.

Choosing the right magician for your event is an important factor. Here are some Top Tips on how to choose a good magician.

One thing you must certainly do is request videos of their previous work If you haven't already found them online and spend time reading about that person. The things to look out for is how busy they seem to be, the type of events that they perform at,  do you like their appearance, style of magic and most of all their personality.
