We Love Magic!
Welcome to We-Love-Magic.co.uk,
a celebration of magic in all its forms. We hope you
enjoy your visit.
This is a site for people
who have recently decided they want to become magicians
and for lay people who love magic. In other words, it’s
not for experienced, established magicians (though,
of course, you are very welcome to have a look and to
contact me with any suggestions you may have).
If
you are just embarking on a career in magic, you'll
find lots of useful advice and suggestions for honing
your act and getting booked.
If you want to see a magic
show, you'll find recommendations and reviews.
If you're looking for
magic tricks, books
to teach you magic, novels
about magic and magicians, a magician
to hire for your party, wedding or other event,
or just for general information about magic, magicians
and what's going on, you'll find it all here on We
Love Magic.
Magic shows
Buxton Festival
Fringe
Several magical events
are taking place at the Buxton
Festival Fringe this year:
Piff the Magic
Dragon
As
you know, Piff is a rather grumpy dragon, created by
John van der Put. Piff is a great comedy character -
and worth seeing for that reason alone - but he also
does fantastic, high-end magic, of the sort you would
expect to pay much more to experience.
Piff will be giving three
performances of his new show Pifftacular
at the Buxton
Festival Fringe in July, before going on to Edinburgh.
The dates are:
Wednesday 22nd July, 5.30-6.20pm
Thursday 23rd July, 5.30-6.20pm
Friday 24th July, 4-4.50pm.
If you live anywhere near
Buxton, do come along. I'll be there on the Thursday.
You can find out more
about Piff on his website www.piffthemagicdragon.com.
You can find out more about Piff's creator by reading
my interview
with John van der Put.
Love and Other Magic
Tricks
In another incarnation,
John van der Put will be appearing in a production that
is part love story, part magic show. This is with his
theatre company standnotamazed.
The dates are:
Wednesday 22nd July, 9.30-10.30pm
Thursday 23rd July, 9.30-10.30pm
Friday 24th July, 8-9pm
Saturday 25th July, 11pm-midnight.
An evening of close-up
magic
The High Peak Magic Society
is organising a close-up extravaganza for the evening
of Thursday 23rd July. Hours of top-quality close-up
magic! Again, see the Buxton
Festival Fringe website for more details.
Richard Leigh
Richard
Leigh's magic shows continue to sell out. Click
on the link to read reviews of the shows I've seen.
I went to The Magic Cavern
show again on 24th May and it was marvellous, as usual,
and still evolving - there were one or two tweaks since
my last visit that have improved it even further. Richard
is a clever and an interesting man and I highly recommend
all his shows. If you are or are going to be in London,
make sure you take in one of Richard's productions.
You can see videos and buy tickets online through his
website: www.falseimpressions.co.uk.
You can now finally read
my interview with
Richard Leigh. Sorry for the delay in getting it
online.
