I’ve been lucky enough to be asked to perform at an event that has its values close to my own this Halloween. Toast Live is an event held in Manchester once a month to promote the creative arts. It starts at 8PM on Friday 31st October 2008 at the Lass O’Gowry in Manchester City Centre. There you will be able to see many up and coming music artists as well as my self and a couple of colleagues performing close up magic and a stage show. I’ll have some new tricks to showcase for this one off event and it should be a blast.

I’m looking forward to it, before that takes place I’ve got a performance at a house party so it makes for a busy night. I hope to see some of you there, entry is free.

One of thing I love to do is session with other magicians. This is where you meet up with a bunch of like minded folks, sink a couple of drinks, work on new material and maybe perform a little for others in the bar or cafe where you’re hanging out.

I get to do this maybe once or twice a month when time permits and I always end up having a blast. Through doing this I’ve also made some great friends and have others I can now call upon for those occasions that more than one magician is needed.

As we meet in the same places usually we’re also gathering quite a reputation amongst the locals with many requests to perform for their table. I love performing magic and never refuse a request so if you ever see me out with friends don’t be afraid to say hi.

A group of us will next be out in Manchester on the 25th October at the Moon Under the Water on Deansgate
