THANKS ABC NEWCASTLE RADIO:

Having fun talking to Jenny Marchant on ABC Newcastle Radio. We were discussing the fact that Magic is not just for children!

PROFESSIONAL MASTER OF CEREMONIES:

Many people who see my magic shows do not realise that I also work as a professional MC. These rolls include; Wedding MC, Spruiker, MC for Corporate Conferences, Dinners and Awards Nights.

Below are some photos from a Wedding MC job I did last night at the beautiful Magenta Shores Resort.

FUNNY SIGNS:

LECTURING IN CHRISTCHURCH NEW ZEALAND:

The magicians of Christchurch New Zealand made me feel very welcome last night! I did a lecture for them that went for just over two hours...........

"I won't eat Snails! I prefer fast food!"

GUEST LECTURER FOR THE THIRD YEAR IN A ROW:

Last night I had the pleasure of Lecturing for a group of enthusiastic magicians at the Gold Coast Magic Circle. There was a good roll up and I really enjoyed presenting and teaching 1.5 hours of my new material for my peers!

HAPPY 80th BIRTHDAY JIM!!

Tomorrow I fly to Cairns and then drive to the Atherton Table Lands in Far North Queensland to celebrate the 80th Birthday of Magician, Author, Pitchman and Historian Jim Mc Keague. Jim has been a close friend since the 90's and has had a huge input into all of my most popular performance pieces (routines).

MAGIC, MIND MANIPULATION

EVER WANTED TO JOIN THE CIRCUS?

SOME OF THE BIG QUESTIONS:

What do you do if you see an endangered animal eating an endangered plant?

If the Police arrest a mime, do they tell him he has the right to remain silent?

THOUGHTS FOR TODAY:

He who laughs last thinks the slowest.

No one is listening until you make a mistake.

Always remember your unique – just like everyone else.

If you lend someone $5, and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

One nice thing about egoists is that they don’t talk about other people.

LIVE SHOW - HORNSBY

I'm thrilled to announce that I will be in Hornsby again on the 7th July. I will be showing at the Circus Akimbo Studios (Jersey St Hornsby). There will be a matinee and an evening show and both sessions are family friendly!

Did it fool you?

SPEAKER:

I have two "Speaking" engagements coming up - One tomorrow afternoon and one next week.

Both will be for students in grades 5 - 12 for "Leadership Days". I share some stories about experiences that I have had that - I have been told in the past by both Schools and Corporations that these presentations are interesting, thought provoking and even inspiring.

I also throw in a little magic with the presentation to keep the audience engaged and on their toes!!

SCHOOL HOLIDAY FUN:

THE BUZZ CONTINUES:

We have received some lovely reviews following yesterdays shows:

"It was a fabulous show from both yourself and Bubble O Seven. All 8 of us enjoyed the night from 3 - 53. Thank you Joel and family for putting this show on." - Gordon Heap

"Maureen had the privilege of seeing your first show, a little 6 year old boy performing magic at Belmont Centre. Even then amazing your onlookers. Tonight as we shared in your latest show, "I Want To Be Like You", feeling the excitement, shock and amazement from the engaged audience filled us with so much pride. We were so delighted to have some family and good friends with us to see just how professional and amazing you are. Sharing the show with Bubble07 really added variety to the night. Your jokes and his quirky ways brought a lot of humour to the night. His bubbles were truly amazing. The ending to the show was magical and topped of the evening. As we walked out to our cars, us oldies felt like we had experienced the same joy and excitement that overwhelmed us as children. It was a truly magical experience in a fast paced world" - Maureen and Ian Taylor

"Absolutely loved your performance!! You both are very talented. I met your Aunty (Margaret?), she ushered us to our seat! Your family is absolutely beautiful, you are a very lucky young man with the most precious support team behind you." - Teena Courtney
