The
Magician's Table - tickets selling fast for our new London venue!
We've been keeping a few secrets. We don't want to give the game away
entirely, but our first week of shows promises to be something rather
special. Not only will you be among the first to step inside our new
space — we have some very distinguished guests making stage appearances.
The sort you simply don't see coming.
The Magician's Table, it must be said, is the ideal evening for couples
in search of something a little different, groups of friends after that
shared experience they'll still be talking about at breakfast, or
families requiring the rare activity that goes down well with absolutely
everyone.
And if you happen to be visiting London — welcome. The city has no
shortage of things to do, but we'd humbly suggest that an evening of
close-up magic, cocktails in hand, in one of London's more atmospheric
corners, is not the sort of thing you can find back home. Consider it
the quintessential London night out that most Londoners haven't even
discovered yet.
Whether you're a returning face or in town for the week, these are not
the tickets to sit on. Act fast and book now. Our new venue opens June
3rd: The Magician's Table, The Vaults, 1 Lancelot Street, London SE1
7AD. See

Marc
Lavelle's Desert Island Tricks.
"A great magic set isn’t the one with the fanciest props. It’s the one you
can do when the pockets are empty, the room is loud and someone says, "Go on
then, show us something" with zero warning. That’s why Marc Lavelle’s return
hits so hard: after stepping back from the magic and convention scene for years,
he comes back with a clearer view of what actually works for real audiences..."

Magic
- World Premiere, Chichester Festival Theatre. "Exclude the
impossible and what is left, however improbable, must be the truth."
Harry Houdini is the greatest illusionist the world has ever known.
Arthur Conan Doyle is the creator of literature’s most brilliant
detective, Sherlock Holmes. Their mutual admiration blossoms into a
profound friendship, even as they discover a shared obsession with
spiritualism. Conan Doyle believes fervently in the psychic world and
the promise of reunion with his dead son; Houdini is determined to
demonstrate it’s a cruel fraud. Which of these sparring partners will be
proved right: the genius writer of fiction or the infallible magician?
Based on extraordinary historical events, Magic asks what we’re
prepared to believe, and why. Starring David Haig and Hadley Fraser.

New
Release in the MLM Select Range. This month Mark has extracted from
the E-Club Pro files close-up routine Big Money. The performer
offers to demonstrate how professional poker players make big money from
their games. A deck is removed from its box and shuffled. Spreading the
cards, the magician invites a spectator to touch any five cards in order
to create a random poker hand. Extracting the selected cards, the
performer shows the hand and even though it may not look very promising,
he claims it can still produce big money. At which point, the cards are
pulled away to reveal the sudden appearance of a giant coin! No gimmicks
required, this effect has no reset. As with all the effects included in
the Select list, Big Money costs just £7.00 for the video download and
it will be available for a limited period only. For more info and to

Covent
Garden May Fayre and Puppet Festival, Sunday, 10th May.
Welcome to the 51st Annual Covent Garden May
Fayre and Puppet Festival, a joyful celebration in the heart of the West
End and the country’s longest‑running puppet festival. Each year,
puppeteers from around the world gather to perform, share ideas, and
inspire new generations while honoring centuries of tradition.
The festival marks 9th May 1662, when Samuel Pepys recorded seeing "an
Italian puppet play" in Covent Garden—the first written account of a
Punch & Judy show in England. A plaque on the wall of St Paul’s Church,
commemorates this moment. Inspired by this history, the first May Fayre
was launched in 1976, and it has been held every second Sunday in May
ever since.
Festivities begin at 11am in the garden of St Paul’s Church, Bedford
Street, with a grand procession led by a brass band, followed by a toast
to Mr Punch at the plaque. At 12 noon, a special service takes place
inside St Paul's, often featuring Mr Punch in the pulpit. Visitors can enjoy Punch & Judy shows, puppetry
from Britain and abroad, clowns, stilt walkers, magicians, folk dancing,
stalls, workshops and refreshments.
All Punch & Judy Professors, puppeteers, clowns and family entertainers
are invited to take part. See
www.mayfayre.uk for
further information. Produced by Small Pond Theatre.
