Diving

Someting I never thought I would do was this! My phobia of the sea introduced by that lovely film "Jaws" at an early age... thanks a bunch Mr. Speilberg. An oppertunity arose and I decided to give it a go... It was truly Wonderfull and inspiring. It really is another world with such vibrancy, diversity and colour! In fact... after I did the inital course I headed, with my friend Ananatural, to the Similan Islands (the most stunning group of paradise islands I have ever seen)... there I did an advanced course and found a wreck of an old Tiwaneese fishing ship and had the pleasure of meeting a shark!

Mentors!

A little collection of some friends of the highest intelligence I have had the pleasure to have made their aquaintance... When ego is removed you get the purest form of being... When being is removed you get the highest form of ego!

An Elephant never forgets!

This was in an "Elephant Orphanage" in Sri Lanka... I actually felt really bad for the elephants here as an Indian Bollywood music video had decided to film while the heard was going down to the river to wash... The Director was such a flusie he actually tried to stop the heard as they were charging down the road towards him!!! They had to shoot the video straight away with the dancers doing their stuff with the elephants in the background! It made me laugh alot!

Clowning with some Cunning Stunts

Becoming a stunt clown was an unexpected pleasure! I performed over 100 shows over a two year span after learning the whole thing the afternoon before my first performance to the RAF! Myself and Dingle travelled round in a 1976 Mercedes Van and trailer around the UK having adventures and strange experiances along the way. The most memorable one was driving up to the Black Isle in Scotland to perform for a bunch of kilted Scotts who had never seen anything like us before... It was freezing and it was only when we squirted them with 30 gallons of ice cold water that they started laughing! From there we had a driver fly up and meet us so that he could drive us South through the night to our next gig in Guildford the next day for the EMI Music Summer party.

GMTV

When I was performing magic in a Bar in West London to Jamie, a producer for GMTV, I did't expect to end up on National television! It was a great experiance although was usually shot early in the morning! It was at the beginning of my proffesional magic career and I seemed to get away with some bold stuff including this shot where I am levitating the now rather well known Fern Cotton. Shortly afterwards I got a little carried away and splatted Jamie with a rather sloppy cream pie.... It didn't go quite as planned and he had to buy new contact lenses and it took them ages to clear up the studio... Ah well!

In the olden days when I was young!

Well... yeah its me a while ago when I was clever. Things just started getting stranger and stranger from this moment on.....!




Prehaps my magical existance stems from this fine friend of mine... The Rabbit with no name... It was just called "My Rabbit"
He was a very lucky bunny considering I was bought up on a farm in Devon where Rabbit was a regular guest on the dinner table. I had a pet squirel too, he was called charlie and my Father caught him in the grain shed on more than one occasion so decided too keep him for the Winter and let him back into the forest in the Spring!
It was a very Magical place being surrounded by nature and animals.
