Ooh, look. The sun's over the yardarm...

Good news - I used to be an alcoholic but my doctor said that if I cut down to just 1 glass of alcohol per day, I'd be fine.

I think I can live with that ...........

(That's not me in the piccie by the way lol )

Wow, what a big response from such a simple hello.

How nice to meet you all.

Wait, I just spilt my meths.

I'm a novelist and journalist by profession but am hugely into magic. I only do street/bar magic. I don't have hundreds of routines, I'm mainly interested in the sort of magic you can throw in to a conversation with a stranger or magic you can use as an ice breaker, rather than anything big. So I mainly do cigarette vanish, or making salt disappear in one hand and appear in the other if in a cafe or restaurant (both same technique as I am sure you will all know). Some coin stuff. Some IT.

I also teach magic (one on one tuition) but don't worry, I don't just give away loads of secrets for money! I only teach approx. one person per month, and I make sure they're really genuinely interested in magic rather than someone who is just doing there because they're bored or because they want to discover secrets that they can blab to people.

I wrote an article on street magic that's going to be in the Times newspaper in a few weeks, if anyone is interested.

Enough about me. Let's talk about YOU...

Nah, that's dull. Novelist, eh... Any best sellers?

No best sellers, sadly. And there's no magic in them neither. My first children's book is published today, so while you've all got the champers out...

Please let us know when it's published .

Hi mate are you the guy I was talking to about my trick redemption! you must be! If so welcome! I said you would like it here...

if not then there must be others writing magic bits for the times and teaching magic!!

either way... welcome I'm sure you will enjoy it here!!!

Welcome (hic)

Kems, yes, it is I!

Don't worry, I don't teach people your trick.

Having said that, there's a million people in this country (prob a few more than that.........) so if I did it wouldn't take away your business. But I don't like to * people off. Anyway I only teach ten or so people a year. So we can all relax and take a deep breath...

Kem's trick REDEMTION is great, for those who are interested. It totally rocks.

Not sure when the Times piece is out, they change the dates all the time, but it should be a Tuesday in the T2 section. Prob the Tuesday after next (writing this on 7th Sept).
