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 :)

FATHER'S DAY FUN!

TIME FOR THE DAD JOKES!


Why are Dads so goog at napping?

Because they can do it with their eyes closed!


Why is swimming with sharks so expensive?

Because it costs an arm and a leg! 


Did you hear about the guy who drank invisible ink?

He's at the hospital waiting to be seen!


What do you call a cow in an earthquake?

A milkshake!


Have you heard the joke about retired people?

It doesn't work!


What did the full glass say to the empty glass?

You look drunk!


What do you call it when a snowman throws a tantrum?

A meltdown!


What's the leading cause of dry skin?

Towels!


What award does a dentist get for being the best?

A little plaque! 


Did you hear about the bossy man at the bar?

He ordered everyone around!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

I would like to wish all the Dads, Step Dads, Grandpas, Male Teachers and Father Figures a very HAPPY FATHER'S DAY for tomorrow.

Check out page 39 of today's Newcastle Herald for an article and comments from a very proud Dad and his beautiful daughter! It was really great that my Dad Steve got a mention in the article too ❤️



CORPORATE MAGIC!

A local gym called 'Magic Motivation Fitness' very appropriately hired a Magician (ME!!) to appear at their annual ball this evening!

It is an elegant night of sleight of hand magic, meals and music.

The folks attending were such a fun and appreciative audience.

MOMENTS OF MAGIC!

When I perform "Close Up Strolling Magic" at events, I don't just "wander around doing dry card tricks" (I've heard some horror stories from clients). But rather I bring an experience that I guarantee will leave guests amused and amazed. 

This unique style of magic has a big impact as many people have never seen magic being performed live, let alone happening right under their nose or in their own hands!! My Strolling Magic has been described as being "the perfect ice-breaker" and there are always complements on how much fun it adds to the atmosphere.

Last Saturday night Chris from Atlantis Creative captured these excellent candid photos of the responses to my magic as I worked my way around the crowd at the Wauchope Business Awards between the speeches and formalities. 

PS: Would you like to see my magic live? I will be back at Red Tree Theatre with an ALL NEW, magic spectacular on the 10th October 2024 at 11am.

WORKING WITH THE WINNERS AT WAUCHOPE!

CORPORATE MAGIC! 

I enjoyed being the special guest artist at this years Wauchope Business Awards Night this evening.

Wauchope is a delightful community on the Mid North Coast. Everyone made sure that I felt very welcome - I was included in the meals and even given an unexpected motel room upgrade! 

I met so many passionate owners of business large and small who shared inspiring stories about how they have kept their business running through fires, floods and pandemics!

READING IS MAGIC - BOOK WEEK 2024!

 AUGUST IS A MAGICAL MONTH!


I'm going to enjoy a VERY BUSY August! In addition to my events for corporations, I will be visiting primary schools all over New South Wales with the CONDA AWARD- WINNING EDUCATIONAL SHOW ("Best Theatrical Event 2018), "BOOKS ARE MAGIC". 

This production promotes the idea that you can take a magical adventure when you read a good book! It is the perfect fit for this year's "Book Week" theme, "Reading Is Magic" (I can't believe my luck!). Woven into the script of the show are key terms relating to books that children will have heard in the class room (eg. Author, Illustrator, Fiction).

If your child's school is not part of this month's performance schedule, they can still experience the show at two public performances at Belmont Library on 23rd August at 11:30am and 6pm! Home school groups and playgroups are also very welcome to join the fun on these occasions too! 

For more information or to book a spot visit:

PS: If you would like to see a full length theatrical production complete with world class sleight of hand, dance numbers and a stunning showgirl, there are still tickets available to the Red Tree Theatre Magic Spectacular on the 10th October! Here is the booking link:

FEEDBACK FROM LAST NIGHT!

I really enjoyed working with the team at McGrath Nelson Bay last night. Thank you to Lisa for taking the time to leave a five star review. I'm so thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the show and your kind words are really appreciated. 




MAGICALLY MAKING OUR WAY TO PORT STEPHENS!

Legendary entertainers and dear friends Phil Cass and Philippa Cass spotted my van on the way to Port Stephens this afternoon and pulled over especially to say hello!

Great to see you both. Enjoy your time in Shoal Bay!



CORPORATE MAGIC!

I really enjoyed working with McGrath Nelson Bay. I just shared a 45 minute, sleight of hand show with them at the beautiful The Wharf Restaurant venue.

The audience was a team of 19 professionals ranging from 21 - 70. My show was VERY well received and ended with a standing ovation!

The nights fun and frivolity also included the gifting of humerus coffee cups to each other and swapping seats at the long dinner table each time the boss rang a bell, so that everyone interacted with each other throughout the night!

THANK YOU!!

It was such a joy to be back at Red Tree Theatre  this evening. 

Despite it being a cold winter night,  we presented the show to a SOLD OUT crowd with folks travelling from all over Sydney, Newcastle, Hunter Valley and Mid North Coast areas just to see the production. 

I look forward to working with Red Tree Theatre again in the October School Holidays. 

PS: If you are Central Coast based and missed tonight's show, I'll be bringing a shorter (1hour) more family friendly version of my show to Davistown RSL Club on the 17th July at 11am.
