Today I'm off to London to do a bit of magic shopping. London is lucky enough to have one good magic shop (Davenports) and one excellent magic shop (International Magic). A visit to the latter is highly recommended. On the outside looks like a dusty old party/joke shop - but venture inside and you will find a treasure trove of delights. Hundreds of magical books, magazines, DVDs and props. Friendly staff including the eccentric but wonderful Marco and Barry. Sometimes you will also bump into Jerry Sadowitz who will either show you some amazing magic or completely ignore you (or worse!) depending on his mood. You might even get a free cup of tea!

Today I've been accepted as a full member of PSYCRETS - the British Society of Mystery Entertainers. This is a group of some of the UK's best magicians and hypnotists, so I'm really pleased. And also looking forward to the big group meeting in November starring Lennart Green - look him up on YouTube and I guarantee that you will be totally amazed by what he can do with a deck of cards. He is an absolute genius and inspiration to the rest of us in the magic community.
My current "big project" is a DVD for launch in Summer 2010. I'm working with a fantastic magician and hypnotist called Vince Lynch (see below - he's on the right) and we hope to put together something really special. It should appeal to the magic community and beyond. In fact we are looking to set up interviews with magazines such as FHM and GQ to promote it. Watch this space!
