Close Up & Cabaret in Shinfield

05---May---Royal-Oak

On Wednesday 20th May  I’ll be performing close-up table magic followed by thirty minutes of cabaret magic at the newly refurbished  Royal Oak in Shinfield.  A fun evening is promised, as the venue’s intimacy means that tickets are limited to thirty -  so all seats are front row!

In the cabaret show I’ll be demonstrating some eye-popping sleight-of-hand, intriguing mind-reading and, due to popular demand, I’ll  once again be sharing the stage with the now legendary, Hypno-Raccoon.

Tickets are priced at £24.75 which includes a beautiful three-course meal from the Oak’s excellent new menu.

Call 0118 988 293 to book.

Bernie and Jane’s Wedding

Posted by Simon On May - 12 - 2009 ADD COMMENTS

A couple of weeks ago I had great fun working at the wedding of Bernie and Jane Raffe.  The reception was held at the sumptuous Inn at Woburn and Everyone was up for some fun.  (Incidentally, Bernie bought me possibly the nicest glass of red wine that I’ve ever had - I only wish that I could remember what it was!)

Bernie is a professional photographer and he sent me a couple of shots of the day.  The thing that always impresses me about these boys that know what they’re doing is the beautiful colours.

   Groom … Bride … Magician.

It really is quicker than the eye!

Bernie and Jane later wrote to me saying:

“Thank you for the great job you did  on our wedding day in Woburn.  Everybody loved your magic and thought you were great fun.  It made so much difference to the day.”

Thanks you two; it was a real pleasure to be a part of your day.
