Only 3 days left of our Fringe Adventure!😭

It has been an incredible experience so far and we don't want it to stop!

This has been a great new experience for me, from advertising and flyering, to assisting other acts and ofcourse enjoying some fantastic shows!

Today, I am delighted to announce that after an incredibly fun performance at The Magic Circle in London last week...

I have been accepted as a member! 😁

The Magic Circle is something I've always known about even as a child. The world premier Magic society, based in London and known the world over.

I am thrilled to have been accepted and couldn't have done it without "Dot, Herc and Fleani" who worked tirelessly in training and scripting for the exam.

Thank you to everyone who supported us! And we look forward to bringing you more magic in the year to come! 🦟🎪🎩🪄

Sometimes it can be hard to remember why we do the things we do.

I've been performing magic for a good wee while now. Like any job it has it has its ups and its downs.

However, when I see pictures of the joy and wonder my magic can bring to people. I know there is nothing I'd rather be doing.
