Light The Night!

As most of you know my  mum (Sharon Howlett) has Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Thankfully it is treatable however it will be a long six months of fortnightly Chemo treatments. 

With this in mind we felt it particularly important to be at tonight's "Light The Night" event in Newcastle. All money raised from the night goes back into cancer research.

Congratulations to all involved on their wonderful fundraising efforts.

The Crowd walked with lanterns in an effort to "shine a light of hope" that one day a cure will be found. For more information on this event you can visit: http://www.lightthenight.org.au/

Go See Weber's Circus

Had a fantastic time last night at Weber's Circus. The show was of the usual high standard and includes juggling, horses, clowning, spanish web, dogs and the wheel of death! You have plenty of time to go and see them as they are showing in Swansea until 15th September and then Richardson Park Hamilton from 20th September - 13th October.

Mythical Animal Performs Mythical Rope Trick :

During my visit to far North Queensland in July I became the FIRST MAGICIAN IN HISTORY to perform the “Indian Rope Trick” with a Lumhultz Tree Roo climbing the rope!

Take a look at this website: http://theindianropetrick.com

Please note when viewing the link above that NONE OF THE PHOTOS WERE “photo shopped”. This photo shoot was arranged with scientist, Dr Karen Coombes, the world’s leading expert on the Lumholtz Tree Kangaroo.  The photos are designed to draw attention to the plight of this rare and beautiful mammal, which is found only on the high tablelands of Far North Queensland, and is today threatened by habitat loss, dog attacks, and road traffic.  For more information, see Dr Coombes’ website:  www.treeroorescue.org.au

This promotion is the latest episode in the history of a remarkable feat of magic. Just as a tree-climbing kangaroo is sometimes said to be a myth, the Indian rope trick has been called a myth also.  It is not.  The true history of this centuries-old mystery has been greatly distorted over the past 100 years.
