People always ask me how did I get into magic and the answer is always the same (FYI the answer can be found by reading my Bio page on this very website, but if you have read that, and are still reading this, you must be a real stalker, or my mother). Anyway, a crazy maths teacher at school started it all by doing a few tricks during lessons and I wanted to get the better of him. After learning a few tricks with him he wanted to learn more skills and so set up a circus club at the school. As a founder member, along with Pete Burdis, I feel proud that the school had such a random and fun after school activity. Since then the circus club has gone from strength to strength and actually puts on shows once in a while, take a look here for a newspaper report about it. Great fun.

Anyhoo, several years later and a few tricks more in the repertoire the teacher, Andy Mollitt, asked me to perform at his weddings, which of course was a bit of an honor as old Mollitt is a bit of a legend.

It was a bit usual performing magic for my former school teachers (I wasn’t always the perfect student) and old school pals but it was great fun and the magic went down very well indeed. So well that I am hoping to get along to the annual football dinner in May to perform for all of them again; don’t worry Mr. Tate, I’ll be there. Well maybe. Here is a photo of Mollitt doing what he does best; clowning around fire juggling.

More news soon Sir.
