THE COMMODORE'S GALA NIGHT!

It's a great pleasure to be sharing my sleight of hand magic at The Commodore's Gala Dinner at The Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club - RPAYC this evening. 

It's an elegant night of Meals,  Magic, Music, and a silent auction to raise money for Alfred's Community Sailing Program.

IN THE NEWS!

Three years ago, I said yes to a "Roving Elf Character" job in Maitland. A colleague who was booked to do it got COVID and I thought it was good Karma to help out. On the day of the gig there was a photographer present who snapped a few photographs for future promotions.  

Today, I picked up a copy of Newcastle Weekly Magazine and spotted a photo of myself as an Elf!

This unexpected publicity is great for my "Elf - esteem"?! 




STAFF WELL-BEING!

This evening I had the special privilege of presenting a well-being session for a group of Early Childhood Educators.

I suspect that some Educators who are very passionate about what they do, work so hard at looking after children that they may forget about looking after themselves too! It was great to get together with them and have some laughs, some fun and some pizza! 

Send me a message if you would like to discuss having me work with your team in 2025. I have unique options (such as puzzles, crafts, juggling workshops and world class magic shows ) available.

PERFORMING FOR MY PEERS!





Yesterday, I had the pleasure and privilege of performing for my peers as a special guest artist at an industry day for Australian Magicians held in Sydney. 

Myself, Magic Circle Vice President Lee Hathaway and Magic Circle top award winner Mathew Le Motte (both visiting from the UK) circulated among three rooms of magicians who were all seated at close-up tables and invited to "watch the performers carefully". No pressure!

There was great feedback following my close up show and I enjoyed the day immensely. 

 "The audience was mesmerised by the sublime talent of Australia’s very own - Joel Howlett".

CORPORATE MAGIC!

It was great to work with Winning Appliances at Sydney's beautiful Ryde Paramatta Golf Club this evening.

After a competitive day of Golf, the team were treated to a buffet dinner and sleight of hand magic!

Thanks Winning Appliances for having me back again this year :)
