Aha! yes, posting up something in the magician's section *gasp* about a magician!

Mark Edward(s), i don't know much about him, but the link above i found quite interesting - anyone know much more?

...and there's some rather nice looking stuff for sale from him on the site too...

AND its nearly £2 for every £1 at the moment too...

Ha ha, thats a bit of a coincidence, don't know much about the guy, but I have recently become acquainted with one of the people he lists as his mentors (Doc Sheils) and I was only talking to him about the whales publicity stunt last weekend.

Doc is a nice bloke, long retired but a wealth of information. He has led me to believe that he is behind all the classic stuff in Keith Barry's latest tour (Mental). Bill in Lemon, levitations etc, very good stuff.
He point blank refuses to do any magic now though =D

Just cause he is retired.

That might only be a refusal for other magicians though.

Mark's a strange bird... I've seen him doing a Psychic Rat routine in the Parlor of the Magic Castle as well as Levitate his dog in the Palace of Mystery. He see's himself as the "final word" when it comes to the strange and bizarre and though a likable guy, he's managed to create a serious amount of tension within the business via actions more controversial than my own.

I remember when he was still known as Mark Wilson in fact... but that's another story. For the sake of protecting the guilty, he had to go to using his middle name as his last, which wasn't a bad move in the least... it's worked for him.

If you are in Yahoo look up PSILIGHT in the Yahoo Groups and join... it's Mark's newsletter group. :wink:
