Happy Easter Everyone! This easter has been lovely and I’ve had some really nice gigs. We kicked off the weekend for the Jockey Club at Haydock Racecourse priding stage shows throughout the day featuring Johnny and myself and as much danger, daredevil stunts, contortion and magic as we could squeeze in. Plus our awesome walkabout team providing ground entertainment amongst the guests including close up magic, unicycle juggling and acrobats. I then popped over to Leeds to assi

Three days after Montreux I boarded another plane with Johnny Strange to Beijing for the International Magic Convention! Where do I even start on the amazing experience that was performing at the Beijing Magic Convention 2018?! I saw an advert looking for unusual acts to perform at this event way back in the spring and I thought since I had nothing to loose I’d send my showreel. Fast forward to July, a mere six weeks before the convention and the organiser got in touch to ask

Where do I even start on the amazing trip that was Montreux? I contacted Montreux Tattoo Convention to offer them the Double Act- unfortunately by the time they got back to me Johnny was already booked somewhere else! No worries though- challenge accepted and I drafted in some quirky parts for the gorgeous Arielle Firecracker to play in my act and suggested she perform burlesque too. We flew out on the Friday and had two shows each day! My set was 25 minutes silent performanc

Tatcon Blackpool 2018! Another epic year at this event which is one of my favourites to be at! Johnny and myself showed off our new fast-paced duo spot we worked on over the summer and both took new acts for our solo spots as well. The awesome event photographers Ken Wilan and Richard McCann were on hand to capture the highlights and as always their work doesn't disappoint. The three day event in Norbrec Castle, Blackpool was once again filled with the sound of buzzing tattoo

As my title suggests, May has been a month of mysterious, dangerous and dark things! It's been very unusual and lots of fun! The month began with an unusual gig- a client who wanted two snake charmers, so I was lucky enough to borrow Cinders for the night and go and look glamorous with our stunning snake charmer Arielle Firecracker for the opening night of a new restaurant. It was an unusual gig but lots of fun and working with Arielle and the girls (two huge pythons) was lo

Me and Strange just got back from Benidorm Tattoo convention! What a lovely event to perform at... I may have over estimated the Spanish heat in April and spent most of it covered up in my cardigan but I can't knock the Brits living out there who fully embrace the weather and seemingly live in shorts and vests despite it only being a little warmer than the UK! Anyway, the family organised convention was lovely and we felt very welcome. I had the pleasure of meeting Elaine Dav

Dare I say I feel like a zombie?! Wow- what a blast halloween was! October is always a super busy time of year and this year was certainly no exception! I’ve been allover the country like a ping pong ball this Halloween, here’s some of my highlights! Dr Diablo Sideshow meets Johnny’s Fright Night Freakshow! Dr Diablo’s Sideshow recruited the very cool Bea Noir to rock a three person fright night special for Johnny Strange in Liverpool! A huge community event saw thousands of

A double gig in one show for me this week! I was booked to perform my box for Hull's Magic Circle Dinner, it was a lovely evening and I proudly performed alongside some very talented magicians, the very funny Alan Hudson and the super talented Rafael Schölten from Holland. My second part of the double gig was assisting the brilliant Michael Diamond in his Illusion set! The whole show was hosted by Dr Tim Cockerill- a man with many unusual skills such as eating molten lead! Th

This weekend was the annual Showzam! event in Blackpool! The 4 day entertainment festival runs during February in the Winter gardens in Blackpool. This year I was lucky enough to work as part of the Sideshow Illusions Team with Jon Marshall! Showzam central filled the beautiful ballroom in the winter gardens and provided something for everyone! The traditional 1940s sideshow illusions "The Girl in the Goldfish Bowl" and the 'Headless Lady' were both there in their original gl
