Two celebrities will help them to make the right decisions before the performers "Show us your talent". New trailer: YouTube. See TV Magic for details.

Anthony Owen. Andy Nyman writes: Astonishingly April 12th will be the second anniversary of Anthony Owen’s death. It’s still seems impossible to me that one of my best friends could take his own life without me having a clue it would happen. Male suicide continues to be a major problem that devastates and this year in particular has put terrible strains on our mental health. The concerns and pressure we feel to be providers for ourselves and our families has been so difficult as our income streams have been taken away from us. If you or a friend have been struggling, please reach out to someone and tell them. If you need to do that in confidence visit CALM and talk to them. They will help and phone lines are open every day from 5pm-midnight. www.thecalmzone.net/help/get-help

Anthony’s family still need support, so any help you can give, no matter how small, will really make a huge difference to his children’s futures: www.gofundme.com/f/anthony-owen-family-fund. Let’s stay strong, stay positive, be vigilant towards our friends and loved ones and keep treating each other with kindness. Love to all, Andy x. 10..4.21

David Regal's Colour Changing Knives - PropDog: It isn’t a secret that one staff member at PropDog has posters of David Regal on his walls, so it is no surprise that they teamed up with David to bring his Colour Changing Knives to the UK. The routine doesn’t differ wildly from the traditional, but David Regal has added a light-hearted premise which justifies why you are carrying a knife and the colour changes. However the really big difference is the knives themselves. These aren’t modified off the shelf knives but purposely designed props for this effect. The look and weight is just perfect. This effect has been popular for generations and has been performed by the greats such as Ascanio; it has just been waiting for the Regal touch! The first sets sold out immediately, but a handful of the latest delivery are still available. David Regal’s Colour Changing Knives: www.propdog.co.uk. 10..4.21

The MagicWeek Mystery Box... let’s have some fun! Like many I’ve been having a sort-out, and apart from listing some classic Hi-Fi on eBay that's been languishing in a bedroom cupboard for many years I have put together the first and only MagicWeek Mystery Box! It contains 40+ items in 'excellent' to 'as new' to 'factory sealed' condition. In fact it's crammed full of magical, bubble-wrapped goodies (DVDs, books, tricks), and double-boxed for extra protection. There's only one, it is ready to go, and it really is a bargain at £150 (it really is!).

Here's a teaser photo: Click Here. Simply email for PayPal payment details and it will be yours (first come, first served as there is only one). There are just two conditions: 1.) Please do not email unless you are ready to make immediate payment via PayPal, and 2.) After it arrives email MagicWeek to let us know how happy this exercise in magical retail therapy has made you, so that we can publish your email the following week, and don't be shy about listing some, or all, of the contents (your name can be reduced to just your initials if you prefer anonymity).

Or, wait until next week if it hasn't gone (highly unlikely) when the price will have gone up to £175, but a little more of the contents will be revealed in the photo... or wait another week when the price will have gone up to £200, but even more will be revealed... or (I know, this is getting very silly) wait a further week when the price will have gone up to a final £250, but the entire contents will be revealed and it will still be seen to be a bargain!
