The Dial Restaurant, Station Street, Burton on Trent

I was delighted when Valentine’s partner Jacqueline contacted me to arrange some entertainment for his very special birthday bash in Burton Upon Trent. The venue was the fantastic Dial Restaurant on Station Street, and family and friends travelled from far and wide to share the occasion.

It was a pleasure to customise magic for Valentine’s party!

The magic was to be a surprise and Jacqueline very kindly let me know about Valentine’s hobbies and interests beforehand. It is always a tremendous pleasure to customise some of my effects to suit the celebration. Valentine is a big Bob Marley fan and also enjoys gardening too.

What’s your favourite Bob Marley track? It was great to create some special magic for Valentine!

It was a fantastic evening and Valentine’s friends and family were a joy to entertain. Well done to Jacqueline in organising such a memorable party for everyone, and special thanks must go to all the staff at The Dial Restaurant for being so kind and helpful. I also enjoyed a slice of Valentine’s delicious birthday cake which was made by Jacqueline’s daughter Latia – that was the real magic on the night!

Happy birthday Valentine! It was fantastic to be part of such a magical evening.

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 a privilege to mingle with and entertain David’s guests

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!

All generations can enjoy a little magic at a special birthday bash

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.

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.
