23rd October 2011 - The Big Derby
Manchester United Vs Manchester City
So the biggest game of the season for both Manchester teams and we all know how that ended up 6-1 to City not the best result for united fans. Luckily I was asked to perform in the Hospitality suites at Old Trafford pre match so everyone was in high spirits. Once again always an honour to be asked to perform for one of the biggest clubs in the world & being able to hang around with some of the united legends like Alex Stepney one of the finest goalkeepers to play at united.

February 14th 2011 - Weddings
New Law
So they've changed the law you use to only be allowed to get married in the UK between 8:00am - 6:00pm and this has been the case since 1836 which seemed good working hours for a wedding magician but now the laws have changed allowing you to marry anytime of the day you wish.
I wonder how long it will be before I'm working a wedding breakfast at 12:00pm a midnight wedding breakfast is that an early breakfast or a late one not sure, but this does mean that I can now do a morning wedding and then a night one on the same day so it’s not all bad news.
