Yikes its been a while!!!
Well, has been absolutely aaaaaaages since i last blogged! But that is only because i have been sooo busy! I have done so much, so i will try and fill in a little bit of it!
I was approached by a marketing company (Formedia) to help release their Integrated brand Communication approach to business, by recording me perform a couple tricks. However, it wasn't that simple. I had to create tricks specifically for the company. This wasn't easy and took a lot of time and thought as to what would be best to show off the company and the message they are trying to give. Then i had to work with Formedia in getting the items to perform with made up. I wasn't 100% happy with the filming myself, but there are so many restrictions when recording, as all you see is a 2D image, and you can't fool the camera, however, i created a 5 coin matrix especially for the clip, as well as using Richard Sanders 'Extreme burn' made up in special Formedia related items to perform with. That was a lot of fun, and different to the DVD work i am used to working on. That is being worked on and edited as i write this.
I have also been working on more books and DVDs for myself as well as friends. I went to Bournemouth for a couple days with two of my best friends in Magic, Gary Jones and Christopher Congreaves. Their new company 'Workers Corner' (www.workers-corner.co.uk) have a lot to offer the Magic 'worker's out there. I helped in Paul Highlands 'Ring, string and Ding' routine which was performed and taught on DVD, and then worked on my next release, however, i wasn't happy with the filming, so that will be redone, but look out for Pauls routine, as it is the best of its kind you will find!
I have been performing a lot as well in the clubs and bars around Plymouth, as well as around Torquay and Bristol. There seems to be quite a few weddings come the end of the year. It has been a while since i last performed at a Wedding, but i seem to have quite a few in the last couple months, and another this coming Saturday in Torquay. Also, Christmas gigs are coming in quick, so not a lot of time on my hands, but enjoying the work and meeting more and more people.
Anyhow, i must dash now, as i am still working on writing a book, and i must get on with it, so until next time...
