Some new Magic snaps







These are from an Arcadia job in London... One Magician - 2000 retail Girls drinking vodka n Redbull and having a wild Christmas Party! I had to escape through the back door again but it was hillarious. Thanks for the photos Reetta :o)

The King!



Well here is the proof that the King lives on! Do I need to say anymore? I don't think so.

The Gallopers





Ahh the Gallopers... one of my favorite rides. Last weekend I was performing magic and foolery at a venue in Kent. I worked with a different stilt walker every day and made lots of people laugh and smile with a combo of abstract balloon modeling and some spellbinding magic. Here I am riding a stunning mare while my friend rides a large cock.

Row row row yer Boat!


What a classic... went rowing for the first time yesterday and after getting the gig on the water and rowing out with five girls and a pilot we were hit by a flash flood thunderstorm! The lifeboat came out and we had to row back to shore in torrential rain and then get the gig back onto the trailer! Put a whole new twist on the rhyme, row row row your boat!

Sunday Drive with Woofkin



When the sun is out and its a Sunday what a perfect excuse to take the woofkin on an adventure onto the moors to see what we can find. After wolfing down a roast dinner and a few of the local beverages we started our quest. We didn't get very far and I ended up sleeping in my hammock while Tess found a tennis ball in the hedge and ripped it to bits!

Meadow Madness


Had a Magical day in Reading for a festival called Meadow Madness where I performed a magic show for the masses and did a little hypnosis that went a little wrong in the right kind of way... ish. After I had managed to loose the angry mob I fled for the train station back to good ol' Devon and in my haste managed to leave my bag on the train with my camera, ipod, diary, shades and a banana inside! Luck was on my side and it was found and bought back for me, Phew!

Moorland Morris Mayhem!




Ahhhhhh! Missed my alarm clock and managed to whizz up to the moors to catch one of the Morris Dancers who had been dancing at Haytor Rock to celebrate the first day of Summer. The ancient Celts and Saxons celebrated May 1st as Beltane or the day of fire. Bel was the Celtic god of the sun. Sadly I missed the dancing and the crew was just leaving on its way to celebrate a weekend of dancing at the Sweeps festival in Kent.
I was too late to collect the film crew who were gonna film it all properly but I had my pocket camera handy so I shot what I could... sorry about the wind!

A boat trip on the Thames 007 Style



Yesterday, after a 5am start, I headed for London to perform some Magic on a giant speed boat from the London Eye to the Millenium Dome. It was only an hours work but the travelling took ages and I arrived back to the Devon Den at gone midnight. Then straight to bed for another early start...

A new friend visits the garden!



Just before 10am i looked out the window and thought i could see a strange looking dog in the distance... I soon realised it wasn't a dog and grabbed my camera! Now i'm just waiting to see if one of those big cats pays me a visit too.

Dublin Crew






Just returned from a quick jaunt to see the Dublin Crew. Jody was in her first play and bought the house down. I watched Gemma play football in the freezing cold (she was one of only two girls playing) I was totally thrashed on the Wii but had a little revenge on the pool table. Spent 15 euros winning a Marge Simpson from one of those grabber machines and wrote 3 poems at the airport while waiting for my plane.

Capturing the Moon




Here it appears that I have captured the moon. It is in fact an optical illusion and by the use of trick photography it only appears that I have it in my hands. This was taken in Dartington near Totnes moments before I was witness to the worst theatrical performance I have ever seen about man's mission to the moon itself. I tried desperatly to fall asleep during the performance but was jogged by my friend Dan who has had a large cup of coffee before we went in.

EQUINOX FIRE



On Saturday I joined a couple of friends for thirteen circles around the fire combined with some shamanic chanting to welcome the new season, Spring. It was freezing and the wind kept on blowing the smoke of the fire into my eyes. In the end I decided to go and scavenge for chips which I found in a chip shop and ate by the fire putting up with smoke.

My First Car!



Here it is... my first car! I thought red was too boring so I bought some black spray paint and some masking tape and turned into "The Minx"! Complete with CB radio, Scanner, TV, and far too many speakers I sure made the most of it before blowing the engine up!

The Smallest Horse in the World?



I spotted this horse in 1998 and have been hunting them ever since with no luck whatsoever. But here is the proof that the smallest horse in the world once freely roamed about the moor and could now be extinct. I'm not suprised though. If I hadn't been in a two seater car this little horsey would have been well and truly rustled! If anyone has any information that may lead to the safe capture of one of these seemingly mythical creatures I will handsomley pay!

DC and the Fox




Double Cool and the Fox pose for some magazine for the rich and famous... moments after the second shot was taken the helecopter landed and took them out to their private island where they have their own laws and currency. DC has recently taken up Lion taming in their own private zoo and the Fox has started playing Zebra polo. There are currently two castles on the Island with it's own airport and luxury riviera.

Horny!



I recently went to visit my friends who were indeed very horny! Being an Aries I seem to have a natural affiliation with these wonderfully amusing animals. One day, prehaps, I would like one of my very own but for now visiting this lot is quite adiquite.

The Dartmoor Beast



Ahhh, dartmoor! The new playground of the Fox. There is not a week that passes without a moorland ramble and a juicy pie at the Old Inn at Widdicombe in the Moor. There are many huge rocks called Tours scattered around and they make great climbing. At the top of this one called Haytor it's very windy but the views are absolouty stunning.

National Fancy Dress Day - April 3rd



Its a long time ago since the first National Fancy Dress Day... so I thought I would revive it! April the 3rd is now the date which will become the OFFICIAL NATIONAL FANCY DRESS DAY
Its been on my mind for a while now and was inspired by watching people wear the same things everyday with no individuality. People usually wear Fancy Dress for charity or to a party... now they have a day to enjoy wearing crazy outfits, just because. Well why not eh? At least it will brighten up my birthday! :o)

Oh la la!




Just returned from a few days in La Provance de France. The aeroplane took three attempts to land in severe stormy weather conditions and there was a moment when life looked a little bleak but after crash landing all was fine! I was staying in a 1000 year old Chateaux which has been under both French and English command! An amazing place, it is filled to the brim with strange and unusual artifacts including this crocodile whic was stolen by theives and mysteriously returned months later.

Uncle Rob's day out!



Here are three of my Neices on Brittas Bay beach, in Ireland, where we spent quite some time collecting shells and stones. We ate grown up meals for lunch and then off to the cinema to watch Enchanted. We managed to spill popcorn everywhere but that always happens to me. They have all become excellent at pool since Santa bought a table down the chimney!

Holy Snakes!



A few nights ago I had the pleasure of looking after Sydney the Snake... At the moment this photo was taken he was starting to wrap himself round my neck so that he could eat me for dinner. Normaly I admit to a slight fear of snakes like Syd but he was well behaved and, well, quite sweet really!
