Happy Birthday David!

I have had so many positive comments, everyone loved the spectacle

Audrey (David’s partner) The Royal Oak, Quorn, Loughborough, March 2023

It was a tremendous pleasure and a privilege to entertain David’s friends and family at the Royal Oak in Quorn. It was a very special birthday celebration, and attendees had travelled from far and wide to share this important occasion.

Indeed, I was very flattered when Audrey (David’s partner) contacted me to find out if I was available. It was very kind of Helen (Audrey’s sister who I have performed magic for before at work events) to recommend my services.

The Royal Oak is a fine venue which is located on High Street, Quorn and I thoroughly enjoyed providing close-up ‘mix-and-mingle’ magic for David and his guests. Card effects, sleight-of-hand and mysterious illusions are always great ice-breakers and talking points at parties. They help to bring the guests closer together, and liven up the proceedings.

It was also fantastic to entertain the younger guests who were present with some child-friendly effects and balloon modelling too. It’s very important to include all of the generations at a birthday party so that everyone can share a magical experience!

It truly was a superb day at the Royal Oak with live music and much revelry. David celebrated his birthday in style, and it was fantastic to mingle with, and entertain, such a lovely group.

Thank you again to Audrey, Helen and Mark (photographer) for providing these lovely photos from the day to pop on my blog.

Also, many thanks to Antonio and all of the staff at the Royal Oak for their kind assistance, and for making me so welcome. Make sure you visit this exceptional venue the next time you are in Quorn! Find out more about the Royal Oak at: The Royal Oak, Quorn

Happy Birthday Mr Blake!

‘Here is the finished piece that my Dad just loves! Thanks again.’

Jamie Blake

I am delighted that my good friend Jamie Blake and his partner Rachel made it over to Phoenix, Arizona to celebrate Jamie’s Dad’s 86th birthday with him recently. It has been a tough time over the past couple of years as families have been unable to mix due to the pandemic. I was even more ecstatic when I discovered that Jamie’s Dad liked the artwork of Glasgow City Chambers and Ibrox Stadium (home of Rangers Football Club) that I created.

Happy birthday Mr Blake!

Jamie’s Dad is a fellow Scotsman and lifelong Rangers supporter, so it is a tremendous honour to have this artwork hanging on the wall of his home in The Grand Canyon State! I first met Jamie and his son Jack – who plays professional football for San Diego Loyal – when performing magic at a house party in Nottingham several years ago, and we became good friends. Jamie is very passionate about football and it is always great to chat to him about the Beautiful Game. Indeed, it was a tremendous privilege and a pleasure to entertain guests at Jamie’s partner Rachel’s special birthday bash in Nottingham in 2019. See article here: Rachel’s Party.

Happy Birthday Rachel!

I was delighted and very flattered when Jamie and Rachel asked me to perform magic at a very important birthday bash in Nottingham recently! The venue was the fantastic Botti Di Mamma in Hockley and it definitely was a memorable and magical occasion.

Rachel’s family and close-friends were not only treated to the exquisite ambience and exceptional cuisine of this first class venue, but the talents of Nottingham musical quartet The Money ensured it truly was a fantastic evening. Jamie has known the band for many years and was delighted that they could be part of such an important event. They are always a massive hit wherever they perform!

It was a privilege to mingle with such a warm and receptive group of people, and I was also delighted to perform a little customised magic for both Rachel and her father Brian. Indeed, it was very kind of Jamie and Rachel to invest their trust in me for such a big night, and I always hope that I can repay this in my performance.

A very important occasion calls for a very talented cameraman, and Will Slater was present in order to expertly capture the proceedings. As you can appreciate from the photographs proudly displayed in this article, Will’s timing, sixth-sense and attention to detail is immaculate.

Overall, the party was a resounding success and friends and family partied well into the small hours! Happy birthday Rachel! And well done to everyone for helping to create such a tremendous occasion – I hope that you and Jamie had a great time in the USA.
