Magician, Entertainer - Brett Sirrell

Website and booking magicians and entertainers

Brett — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 16:41:39 +0000

This morning i spent most of my time trying to sort out my website. If anyone was visiting it, they will have probably noticed strange bits of text magically appearing throughout the day and then disappearing as quickly. I have managed to get the home page W3 validated if you know what that means! The remaining pages may be a bit more of a challenge.

Then the phone started ringing and i hade to try and sort out bookings as well as trying to find other magicians.

Off to get a flu jab, now although they wont give me a Swine flu jab, i am too young and havnt paid enough taxes obviously!

Harrods Christmas Parade (again)!

Brett — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 11:03:04 +0000

Not compalining about repeat bookings but it does feel like Deja Vu, an early start leaving at 5am with a start in London at 8am. The parade always looks great. From an entertainers point of view its more about meeting up with the other entertainers you havnt seen for a while, than the entertainment itself.

The rest of the week has been quiet, i think the conversation of the week has to be the person that rung up for a quote. She said”thats just out of our budget, I know a magician that would charge half that amount but they do really crap tricks! We could have him but we don’t want crap tricks!”

Yorkshire Building Society opening, magic and stilts

Brett — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 21:48:41 +0000

This week, two opening events for the Yorkshire Building society. First in Stone and then in Evesham. Both went well, magic and balloons plus stilts to create a bit of fun and entertainment.

Photos probably in a local rag!

Also half term.

The kingham Plough - Close up magic

Brett — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 11:15:27 +0000

Sunday, a small but very fun Christening Lunch party at The Kingham plough. A small group of about 20 guests plus 6 children. In a superb pub/restaurant in Kingham in the Cotswolds. The atmosphere was superb, and if i say so myself the magic worked. One of those days where everything seemed to fit in to place. Tricks flowed very naturally and smooth. Also balloons for the children.

This morning i got probably the nicest thank you letters i have received.

Brett - You were absolutely brilliant yesterday. Thank you so much. You kept all of us (of all ages) wonderfully entertained, in such a clever, funny and utterly mind-boggling way. And without in any way interrupting the flow of the party and our conversations. Fantastic! Everyone is now looking for an excuse to have party - just to be able to invite you back! You made a great gathering even more enjoyable and memorable, and Emma and I are huge fans and enormously grateful to you. With best wishes - Mark

PS - As we were leaving, I overheard the young barmaid to whom you gave a balloon flower saying that it was one of the nicest presents anyone had ever given her, and so much better than the real thing! You made all of us feel special.

Tanx and Wizard magician - Nottingham

Brett — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 08:39:30 +0000

Friday daytime Tanx teambuilding for Firebird events. Fortunately we only had 2 teams every other 40 mins where as everybody else had 1 team per 40. Grass was a bit toughty and gave the tanks a hard time but overall everything was ok.

The following night Tanx at a social club in Iver, myself and the Tanx got a hard time of it!

Sunday Wiazard and magic in DH Lawrence festival. Apparently Harry Potter is the first book to outsell faster than Lady Chatterlies Lover. So they had a harry potter day. Makes sense doesn’t it!

Magician hit the Lottery!

Brett — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 18:17:54 +0000

Saturday close up magic at a house warming party for darkblues managment. The client was a winner for the national lottery £10M! Nice guy really friendly and down to earth!

Sunday Close up magic at Manchester United Utd vs City. Cant get to see the game anymore which is dissapointing. Although i earned a nice magician £10 tip. Just need a millon more of those and a house warming party!

Yorkshire Building Society Opening and Balloon Modelling in Bedford

Brett — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 08:33:48 +0000

Tues helped open a new branch of the Yorshire Building Society, in a small town in wales. We had the mayor and a local MP. Being such a small town it made a big impact event and stopped the street for a while. I was doing magic, balloons and a bit on stilts.

Saturday in the middle of Bedford town centre making balloon animals. Nice people great balloons and fun spending Saturday afternoon in the middle of Bedford high street.

Magic Shows, wedding close up magic then street shows and Tanx

Brett — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 19:24:31 +0000

The first half of Aug was quiet enough, then suddenly things got busier than expected. Starting with a 1st Anniversary party waking up my close up magician skills. Then a Tanx Radio control Tank battle event. Then on monday more magic at a rather nice wedding at Birtsmorton court. Working along side Richard Ellis the caricaturist.

A company relation team building chill out day on Tues, running tanx again and other entertainment. Another great day. Then apart from Saturday close up magic at old Trafford it was street shows and shopping centre entertainment all week. Trying to wake up audiences of families who just wanted an end to the school holidays.

Maybe next week i will get some time off! I may ring Russ Stokes and chat magic with him this week. Who knows!
