Harrods Christmas Parade (again)!

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

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!”

The kingham Plough - Close up magic

Monday, October 12th, 2009

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.
