Another triumph!

Excellent lectures, excellent company, and the unique privilege of not only seeing Lennart Green perform in his unique style but also of getting drunk with him! Amazing. This thing just grows and grows.

Evie's boxes are superb. Jack! is even more creepy than ever and those crazy Italians wouldn't leave us alone. We bumped into them again at Euston!

Your iPhone 5 is definitely the future of mobile phones!

Danielle showed us a VERY cool piece of iPhone 4 magic he's come up with on Sunday morning. He says he developed it just for himself, which is a shame because it really is very good indeed.

More fun was had on the train from Euston. I'd emblazoned my box of electronic bits with the words "CAUTION LIVE SPIDERS" to stop it being stolen. People were not happy. I had to explain to several of them that it's evil psychology, not web-spinning wildlife with giant fangs. It didn't help that Eric kept asking me how I was going to cook them.

I was people watching on the balcony in the upstairs bar on the Euston concourse when I heard Danielle's voice asking me how to get to Piccadilly. Eric had nipped out for a cigarette and bumped into them ordering burgers containing seriously hot chilies. Roberto looked as fresh as a daisy (damned youth!). They're now lost somewhere in Soho being mugged by polish lap dancers... :lol:

I've just seen Mike Stoner in a photo from TM. Didn't know that was you! You were sat directly behind me. Just goes to show the camera lies a LOT!

Great times had by all. I have a vague memory of doing a "faux hypnosis" routine on a drunken woman in the boozer, and her having to run off to the bogs to puke half way through. Does magic get any more real?

Bah, sounds I missed a lot after I left.... :(

Great day overall, though, and it was excellent to see the lot of you again and catch up. Can't wait for Hud!!

For those of you who saw James Brown lecture:

Magic + Voodini = Puke.

My first Tab and very enjoyable. Good to chat with Tomo and Eric on Friday and see Lennart's legendary "snap deal" up close in The Sun on Saturday. Cheers to all! :D

Yes, lovely catching up with old friends. Personal highlights included accidentally hypnotising Eric, seeing Beardy using the classic force, handling Evie's merchandise, finally performing my pebbles effect, doing the vodka trick for(?) Lennart, and tipping half a plate of scampi and peas into my lap at lunch; four-leafed clover, my a___! Tartare sauce is a devil to get out.

If the spectator doesn't engage in the effect,
then the only thing left is the method.

If anybody comments on the stain, you look them straight in the eyes, and say Its erm, boddily fluid.
If they look shocked, say.. no just kidding, Its tartare sauce. If they smile and lick their lips.. get their phone number.

you're like Yoda.you dont say much, but what you do say is worth listening to....
