Jon Allen appeared on Young, Gifted & Broke, the late night
showcase for new acts on Monday on ITV. "When I actually tell people
that I am a magician there are various reactions. Sometimes they say show
me a trick and I say if I was a professional boxer you wouldn't ask me to
punch you in the head now would you?" Shot on location at the Centre
for the Magic Arts, London.

The
London Mime Festival
opens today and runs through until the 28th. I don't
think that there are any magicians performing there this year but it gets
a top MagicWeek recommendation none the less! Visit their website to find
out who's on: www.mimefest.co.uk

In 'Blink of an Eye' Peter Stammers poses the question "are there better ways to spend your money than on the tricks themselves?" Articles. We'd love to have more articles (long or short) from readers on any magic related topic - just send your writing in as an e-mail. Did you know that every time you buy a book from Amazon.co.uk via the MagicWeek website (by clicking on an Amazon advertisement, or link first, and then directly placing an order) we receive a small commission? It's a great way to support MagicWeek that doesn't cost you a penny! The MagicWeek Book Shop offers a small selection of just some of the magic books and videos available from Amazon.co.uk. Well that's all for this week, see you next week, Duncan Trillo. 13.1.01
