This week I was booked to perform close up magic at London nightclub Chinawhite. The party, for luxury brand Porsche Design, was an amazing event at a great venue.

Today I received a lovely letter from a client who booked me for close-up magic and cabaret at The Magic Circle Headquarters last week. As we all know, there’s little that gives more pleasure than reading someone elses mail, so here …
