The Mad Hatter’s Tea Party

The Mad Hatter IllustrationEvery now and then, along comes a party which is different from any other party I have been too. Every now and then I also get asked to entertain at said parties, and there is usually something quite unusual that is requested as part of that performance.

Yesterday evenings show was one such party.

It was a 30th Birthday for a young lady called Heidi, who was mad on Alice in Wonderland and fairy tales. She was a member of an Amateur Dramatic Club (Am-Dram) and so were the majority of her friends. So when she decided to put on a fancy dress party, with the theme being Alice and Fairy Tales, you can imagine how her group of guests, being used to dressing up and putting on make up regularly for their own shows, reacted.

The Shrinking Rubber Band Trick

news.82 The Shrinking Rubber Band TrickToday I have started an experiment.

I have recorded, edited and uploaded a video of me performing one of my favorite magic quickies. I use this effect when I am performing Close Up Magic for adults, at events like weddings, and corporate hospitality etc. It never fails to get a gasp when performed live.

This video has been uploaded to YouTube, and can be viewed either on their website by searching for me, or on the video page of the main website, where you will also find other videos.

Or, you can view it here by clicking play on the video below. Everytime someone views the video, it will be logged anonymously, and using the new YouTube tools I will be able to see how popular it is. If it becomes very popular, by getting over 500 views (which I think is a reasonable number for my first video) then I will record more, and will up the quality to make it an even better experience.

What do you think? Would you like to see more magic videos on my blog, and website? Leave your comments below, and you never know, you might be the one who changes my experiment to becoming part of my weekly routine.
