I will be performing close up magic at madame Jojo’s (Soho) during the breaks of a new comedy night.
More info soon!

Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal was visiting London for a meet and greet with his fans last Saturday (13/12/08).
I have known Ron’s music for about 8 years, and I have known Ron since about 2002.
I drew some caricatures for him, and we kept in touch. In 2005, I finally met him when he toured Europe with Freak kitchen, and that is when I showed him magic for the first time… I guess he was not used to magic:

We have kept contact since. And Ron allowed me to use his music on both my magic videos…
In 2006, Ron joined Guns N’ Roses to replace Buckethead in the line up. His meet and greet was to promote GNR’s latest album, and also Bumblefoot’s latest album, “abnormal”. I met Ron again, and we were very happy to see each other again. Ron autographed my copy of “Chinese Democracy” commenting on the trick I showed him!

By the way you can check his music out on his website: www.bumblefoot.com

Tomorrow, I will be shooting some magic for a short movie.
I will just be the hands of one of the main characters when he performs magic.
I am very excited about it, and I hope to have videos soon.
:)

Thanks to David Smith, I have now a fantastic video!!!
Have a look:

I would like to thank david Smith and Samar Hasado for shooting / editing the video, and Ron Thal (Bumblefoot) for allowing me to use his music on my videos. The song on the video above is from the album “Normal” (can be found on Bald Freak Music) and is called “Real”.

Since last Friday, I am working for www.bollyparty.co.uk, on their club night in Ealing broadway on Friday nights.
Bollyparty is a company organising exclusive Bollywood themed events.
I performed for the first time for them on Friday night, and things went really well. I will be performing there monthly.
The party takes place in Cafe Chai, Ealing Broadway, W5 2NP (2 minutes walk away from Ealing Brodway tube station). The entry is £8 before 10, £10 after.

Dear All, I created a new testimonial page, to replace the previous “comments” page.
This time, you can actually “see” the comments people have written about my magic, rather than read them typewritten by me.

It makes it more fun, and you actually do not have to take my word for it, but the word of the people that experienced the magic!

I yesterday passed an audition for the LSM (London Society of Magician), which is the 2nd biggest magician’s club after the magic circle (which will be the next step, but not for the moment).
I had an 8-minute-of-magic exam, where I had to perform for a room filled with magician.
I mixed comedy and close up magic, and got accepted!!!

Hi all,
I will make an appearance on a Channel 4 show next year, in one particular episode.
I have shot the show yesterday, but for legal reasons, I can’t display the pictures before the show is aired. Nor can I tell anything about the actual concept of the show.
I will give more info about it early next year, as it is meant to be aired around March / April next year.
The shoot went well (although I will have to see the final edit at the same time as you when it’ll be aired…), and I think people were impressed. Hopefully, I’ll get contacted again!
I really enjoyed the whole experience!

:D

The past few months have been more musical than magical:
I have been practicing hard with my band, Reality Cheques (www.myspace.com/realitycheques), and we are now ready to gig… Our first gig is happening next week:

Magic-wise, I am getting ready for the Christmas period, which is he busiest of the year… I have a few enquiries for residencies in restaurants, but things are still in the talking phase…

I will have a gig on the 25th of October, for a privae party…

See ya all to the gig of my band!

:)

And I haven’t been lazy.
I performed on many occasions, mainly friends and family, but I have also been asked to pop in a birthday quickly to surprise a man on his 40th birthday.
I did, and I had a great time.
I also learnt some new stuff too… I also created my very own version of a card to wallet effect (without gimmick). I guess someone else thought about it in the past, but it is still an idea i came up with…
:)
I had loads of fun, and am in contacts with some people for possible gigs…
in the mean time, a new pic:
