Once again quality service from Vault 2 in Denton. (A particular stand out mention goes to Chloe. )
No magical shenanigans as such, but there was tale involving £3.50, a large box of vegatables and a distinct possibility of a health and safety nightmare.
Thanks to all for providing respite during this awkward time.
Further plaudits to Chloe for remembering I have a single lump of sugar in coffee!
Vault 2 - Bar & Bistro - Denton
Nice to spend some time in Vault 2 - Bar & Bistro - Denton this afternoon.
Sad not to capture the look on Arron’s face after the first effect I performed…
Anyhow, anyone who’s not been into this fab place should drop everything immediately and go now. Great service and the food is incredible.
If you happen to see me in there and would like to see some magical shenanigans - just ask!

Impromptu shenanigans at the rather fabulous Vault 2 - Bar & Bistro - Denton last weekend.
The initial look of bemusement sadly not captured here, but you get the gist….
If you are in Denton you really should do yourself a favour and pop in to Vault 2. Lovely place run by equally lovely folks.
Hopefully see you there.

Spent an hour or so at the ever-welcoming The Living Room earlier today.
Managed to do a few newer things for the friendly folk there.
Quote of the day has to go to Wendy after seeing a couple of tricks; “Very good, but it’d be better if you wore a hat.” Brilliant.
Thanks to Debs for cups of teas and my first Dr. Pepper for a significant number of years. Thanks to Phil, Lenny, Gail, Debs and of course, Wendy for watching.

Visited the very cool Pull Up Bar Cafe in Manchester last night. Everyone should go.
Myself and Beccy from Elements of Nutrition met the very lovely Sharon and Kassia and we (mainly Beccy) talked about the upcoming Menopause awareness event on 17th April 6pm-9pm.
There were a few minor shenanigans with some playing cardboards (see photos).
Hopefully, more shenanigans will be possible there in the future.

Spent a couple of hours at the Doffcocker in Bolton, performing a couple of things at the fun day there alongside other members of Bolton magic club.
Fun was had.
Particular mention goes to Tommy Price and Lizzy. Thanks for watching!
Well, I'm at 99 followers, so that virtually makes me one of those social media 'influencers' right? Before you know it, I'll be being asked to do a voiceover for washing powder on the television set - I'd imagine??
In all seriousness, thank you to all who've interacted on this page. An even bigger thanks to anyone who's shared the page with others.
For the 100th follower I'll create a bespoke magical item and record a video for the page.
If anyone knows of any events that require some magic and shenanigans, please mention my name!
That will be all.

Another good couple of hours yesterday with the lovely people at The Living Room in Hyde.
Thanks again.
Well it’s been a while…
Today I’ve been lucky enough to perform some bits and pieces for the lovely folk at the Living Room in Hyde.
It’s a fabulous little place and you should definitely call in for a brew and an absolutely amazing Belgian waffle.
Thanks for Debs and co for looking after me. Hopefully, I’ll be back there soon. If you happen to see me, please say hi!
More soon!

Thanks to every single one of you who’s helped me at any one of the events I’ve attended.
2024 is going to be a good one!
Happy New Year all.
For no reason at all here’s a photo of me in front of ship (and a few other highlights of 2023).
All the best!

Last few magical shenanigans of the year at T.L.C (Tuesday Ladies Club) at the Market Tavern in Stoneclough.
A friendly welcome as always.
Thanks to Deb Barlow for inviting me and the ladies too for allowing me to try out couple of new things!
Additional shout out to Beccy Jones, event photographer for the afternoon.
Ho ho ho etc.

A great couple of nights at the Lowry performing for some of the Christmas parties there.
Didn’t get chance to take any photos (was quite busy), but here’s a photo of the room I was working in.
A lot of shenanigans did ensue.
Thanks to Chris Sticko and Geoff Leech for their sage advice on Friday and to Paul Goodman for the opportunity. Additional thanks for Christopher Hickey Magic and Jonathan Williams-Rigby for their ongoing support, grief and sarcasm.

Nice to see everyone at Radcliffe Root Connections Networking on Sunday. It’s a great friendly group, that it’s good to be a small part of.
Thanks to Acupuncture and Holistic Therapies by Diane Beattie. for the photo.
Sadly no video footage exists of (what I hope was) “stunned” silence after my impromptu performance in between networking spots…
See you all next year!

Had a great time at Hare Hill House, Littleborough yesterday on the Elements of Nutrition stall with Beccy.
Performed some things that I haven’t done before. Including the bespoke “Ms of Nutrition trick”.
Thank you to Envy Hair and Beauty for having quite a lot of magic performed at them… as did Iheartjam (Thanks Lisa.)
It was a bit cold, hence the rather unorthodox hoodie and jacket combo. Ah well, at least it was orange. My feet have thawed out now.
Shenanigans rating 7/10.
Thanks to everyone at Living Well Calderdale Women’s Cancer Support Group earlier today. Was great to meet everyone and share some magic.
A shout out to Elaine for inviting me. Special mention to Carol Roberts for the exceptionally kind words - you’re a star!
Hopefully see you all soon.
Onto the next one The Village Bistro later!

Here’s something I’ve been working on to help promote Roots Connections Networking. It’s a little thing using playing cardboards. It’s very much a “work in progress”, especially from a patter point of view; I’m generally a little more animated when I perform!
I also include a photograph of the very splendid Belvedere. Just because. Belvedere used to love a good card trick.
See you on Saturday The Village Bistro.

Great to see everyone at Radcliffe Root Networking earlier today. Although I’m an interloper, I’m always made to feel very welcome by Karen McEvoy, Donna Webb and of course Beccy Jones.
Had some great chats with some lovely people and got the chance to perform a brand new piece of magic linked to Beccy’s Elements of Nutrition business (not to mention a few bits and pieces during the actual networking).
See you all soon.

Beccy Jones and Mo Schofield being especially lucky. The later now has her very own Lucky Card. Well done Mo.
Entertained some lovely people tonight at The Village Bistro. One or two shenanigans were afoot. Possibly a spot of malarkey too.
Thank you to Cheryl for having me! Hopefully be back there soon.

This is tomorrow.
Get yourselves to The Village Bistro for magic and discounts on some of your beverages too.
8pm. You know it makes sense.
Good evening everyone don't forget we have the magician//wizard on tomorrow evening
Halloween fun and discounts on selected drinks 🥤 🍺
Having a coffee with Beccy Jones at the ever inviting The Village Bistro in advance of Tuesday’s magical evening.
Good to meet the guys from Elite party and events hire too. Nice balloons.
See you on Tuesday.
Paul.
Join me and the lovely folks at The Village Bistro on Halloween evening (that's Tuesday 31st October) for some close-up magic and a shenanigan (or maybe more).
Partake in some fabulous food with the added bonus of some amazing, intriguing close-up magic also.
What's not to love?
Had a great time sharing a shenanigan or two with my good friend Christopher Hickey Magic (not to mention the friendly- bearded Ben) in Macclesfield last weekend.
It was an absolute pleasure to perform a little something for Radcliffe Root Connections Networking last weekend.
I met some very cool people and made some new friends too.
Thanks to Beccy Jones at Elements of Nutrition, Karen McEvoy at Feel Good at The Studio
and Donna at White Peacock Therapies for the invitation.
Hopefully will see some of you very soon for a shenanigan or two.

Two great nights performing close-up with Bolton Magic Club at Magic at the Marco.
Met some great people who really got involved during my visits to their tables!
Some great card shuffling skills were also displayed!? (You know who you are!)
Thank also for all the new likes to the page.
If I can help bring some shenanigans to any of your forthcoming events, please don’t hesitate to get in touch!
Hopefully see some of you soon.
