Delighted to speak to members of the Bure Probus Club and their partners at the .harbourhotel this week — sharing stories from my time as Head, followed by a little bit of magic! ✨🎩
Feeling especially grateful for this lovely feedback:
“Can I thank you for your amazing talk and trickery, including the table entertainment. The feedback I have received from the members was 100% positive!!”
Always a joy to perform for such a warm and welcoming group! 🙏✨

What a fantastic afternoon entertaining the Cadnam Sundowners Club at Copythorne Community Hall today! ✨
I was especially touched to receive this lovely message from Kay, the group leader:
“Thank you for giving us all such a wonderful afternoon. It was without exception one of the most engaging presentations that we have had for a very long time. Everyone was still talking about your magic as they left the meeting. Thank you again for bringing such pleasure to so many.”
Moments like this are why I love what I do—bringing a little wonder, laughter, and connection to great groups of people.
If you’d like me to come and work my magic with your group, I’d love to hear from you! 🎩✨

Just wrapped up another magic show — this time for the lovely residents at Bourne View Care Home ✨
Plenty of amazement, puzzlement, and those wonderful “how on earth…?” moments all around!
I also got the chance to chat with residents afterwards, which is honestly one of my favourite parts of these shows. And a real treat: I met Wendy, a former staff member who taught Biology at Bournemouth School for Girls back in the 1960s. Such a joy catching up, comparing notes on what’s changed — and what’s stayed exactly the same!

There was laughter, applause and more than a little amazement at Fernhill Dementia Care Home recently, as resident Graham saw a long-held wish come to life ✨🪄
After sharing how much he had always enjoyed magic, the team arranged for me to perform at the home.
Graham was captivated throughout and fellow residents, family members, and team members all joined in the fun. Afterwards, Graham’s daughter Sally shared how lovely it was to see her dad enjoying himself so much.
