Thanks for the plug Paul and I'll make sure that you get an extra helping of pudding, assuming that you can eat the first one all up :lol:

There will be a few of the old favourites but quite a few new routines being aired.

Hope to see you there if you can make it.

Of course, I'm only going for the magic but if you insist on second (and even third) helpings it would be most impolite of me to refuse...... :shock:

can I advertise a second hand suit for sale on TM?

It's a size 54 waist so you've got first refusal after Thursday :lol:

Enjoy the large helpings :lol:

Funny you should say that, there's a wedding two weeks today and I tried my trusty suit on this morning. As a result, I had to go buy a larger suit this afternoon :oops: !

Very sorry to hear at the last minute that part of the roof has fallen in this afternoon at the Grand Union and tonights dining and show has been cancelled. I was half an hour from leaving home to set up.

It's been raining hard for days now without much let-up and Leamington usually gets some of the worst weather in the Midlands. This has obviously had its toll.

Best wishes to Rachael and Noel who are working now to clear up the debris and I hope that it's not too long before you're open again.

Sorry Mandrake if you'd set off before getting a call. :cry:

This is what my set would have been tonight:

1. Victorian Ball Vase (collectors workshop 8 inch model)
2. Victorian Block and cord (Five of Hearts) followed by my version of
3. Fibre Optics
4. My version of A Tribute to Verone (Henry Evans) using aged cards and a Five of Hearts Special Edition Burr Elm Card Box where the selected card ends up inside a previously inspected empty card box
5. Smash & Stab (Five of Hearts)
6. Hemmingway Lock (Collectors Workshop) combined with Box Clever Stage Edition (Five of Hearts). Padlock on a small aged trunk containing artifacts and cards for
7. From Hell.

Next time :cry:

No probs, Noel called me on my way home and the only downside is when I got home I had to cook egg & chips all round plus do a couple of card tricks :D ! I feel very sorry for Rachel & Noel, they must have all the food planned and probably ready to cook so I hope they can use that groundwork again. Noel did offer some very nice discounts for this weekend and next but as we're away both weekends we couldn't take advantage. He said he'll let me know when the next one is planned so that'll be something to look forward to.
