2007 innit. Here is your update Dave. Strap yourself in.

So in reverse order here is some stuff that has happened in my magic life since I last updated.

I just got back from a few days in Saudi Arabia with Sav doing some a launch event for some secretive types. We were invited to perform their by some Saudi princes who were top fellas and didn't make us bow or curtsey or what ever you are meant to do in front of royal types. We were working at only the second 7 star hotel in the world underneath the second biggest chandelier in the middle east. Basically, Saudi is full of biggest, longest, facts.

I've been to Dubai a couple of times to do magic and I have to say I did prefer Dubai. Notice how I have been there and not just pretended like some magicians!

The week before I was at the session convention in Gloucester which is a magic convention where hardcore sleight of hand magicians from all over the UK get together and drink/card tricks. I interviewed a guy called Wayne Houchin on the Saturday night. he is big in the world of web cam magic for pasty faced kids. I was expecting to hate him but he was actually a nice bloke. he is doing very well for himself with a company that I have no love for but I liked him. I've got a trick on the new DVD that is being made about the convention which is a treat.

Next week is Blackpool magic convention where 3,500 magicians turn up wearing a lot of rucksacks.

Other stuff happened but nothing too interesting.

Watch Entourage on TV...my tip of the day.
