Flown to Davos, Switzerland

Tim was flown to the Summit at Davos to entertain at a party in honour of Senator and presidential nomine John McCain. Three magicians were booked to perform at this prestigious event, little did we know that the senator we performed for would end up fighting for the White House.

Silversea Cruise

Tim has performed on the luxury cruise liner Silversea, providing cabaret in their 150 seat theatre. Arriving in Cairo and returning from Dubai he spent five days at sea and felt a little sick on occasions.

The satellite connection went down so internet and phone connections were lost but the food was wonderful and the service incredible.

The Magic Circle at the Magic Castle

Tim was chosen to represent The Magic Circle at The Magic Castle in Hollywood for it´s centenary celebrations. Eight members of the Magic Circle were chosen to fly to Los Angeles to perform at the prestigious venue.

Tim was in the sixty seat parlour performing three times nightly. It was an amazing week with great hospitality and a great deal of talent. The members were thrilled and the venue was packed throughout the week.

Bedfordshire Comedy Competition

I was lucky enough, or funny enough, to get through to the Final of the Bedfordshire New Comedian of the Year last month. The semi-finals took place at comedy clubs in the area; mine was at The Pad in Luton. Comedy competitions are always tricky with an audience judging one comedian against another, which creates a rather tense and unnatural atmosphere.

Still I enjoyed the experience and was delighted to get into the Final. It makes a change from magic where you are confined by the effects you perform. With comedy you can talk about anything you like as long as it’s funny. For ten minutes I talked without a magic trick in my hand and found it quite liberating. I don’t think I will be leaving the props at home though, I have been a professional magician for twelve years now and it is certainly my true vocation.

Unfortunately I was unable to make the final due to prior commitments. It took place at the Luton Arts Festival on the 30th of April. I don’t know the results but there were a number of talented young comedians in my heat with a future in this tough but rewarding art form.

A week aboard the Windsurf

I’ve been off cruising again, flying into Lisbon on the 4th of April and leaving on the 9th from Palma. I was aboard the Wind Surf a lovely ship with a capacity of 300 passengers and 160 crewe.

This was a great little cruise, the boat is small and personable and the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. Mark Cotter was a great cruise director, making contact with me each day to make sure everything was ok.
