My favourite card magician doing what he does best. Very good, and very, very funny.

Thank you tiw, this is absolutely fantastic!

I saw and met him earlier this year in Blackpool and he is such a nice guy. Not a gram of arrogance or snob. He's as nice as a bloke can be. And I also love his DVDs, I have all 7 of the Green Magic and Green Lite, fantastic stuff!

Maaaan. I've just seen it, but I don't believe it. If that doesn't give you something to aspire to nothing will!

had to rewind several bits cos I was WTFing (yes, I've made a verb out of it) left right and centre! :lol:
