Family entertainment at The Yea Autumn Festival, Sunday March 15th

Sunday March 15th is the Yea Autumn Festival. 
Every year in March, the community of Yea run a community arts festival, that brings together people from the Murrindindi Shire – including Yea, Flowerdale and Kinglake,  some of the areas most affected by the bush fires -  to relax, dance, laugh and just enjoy themselves and celebrate their community.
The festival starts at 9.00am and runs until 5.00pm in the main street of Yea.
I am honoured to be part of the family entertainment at the Yea Town Hall.  I’ll be performing 2 show at 11.00am and 1.00pm.

Knox Festival 12pm, 28th Feb 2009

I predict…

Speaking of Flickr, this is my most recent upload.
It was a publicity stunt I performed at Melbourne Central Shopping Centre back in 1991.

I made a prediction of the headlines of 5 newspapers. My sealed prediction was notarised by then Lord Mayor, Richard Meldrum and was on display for a week, hanging above the mall in a see through safe.
The following week the envelope was opened by radio personality Liz Sullivan.
I was successful with four of the five predictions. I’m not perfect.

In 1996 I did a similar stunt, predicting the results of the first Melbourne Grand Prix, which got me some good T.V. coverage at the time.

Predictions were a feature of my mind reading/hypnotism show, The Mind Illusionist.

Predictions are a great way to promote a magic show or get extra publicity for events. At a fete or festival I could predict the winner of a cake bake-off, the result of a sporting event, or even the winner of the three legged race at a corporate picnic!

I predict in the future I’ll be performing a few more predictions.

My friend Flickr

I couldn’t resist the pun, and if you don’t get it, don’t worry about it.

On my website, thefunmagicguy.com , I have a digital scrapbook, 20 years (give or take) of my career condensed into 90 seconds. Instead of remaking the clip I’ve opened an account at Flickr where I will post updates, photos that didn’t make the cut and odd ones, like the Polaroid photo my mother took when I was 12 years old!

Thank you Whitehorse Orchestra

Yesterday, June 15th, was my fifth appearance with the Whitehorse Orchestra. Got that wrong in the Leader article!

 Thank you Gerald Keuneman, musical director, and all the members of the Whitehorse Orchestra. I really look forward to our annual performance together and I hope the next one will be in less than 12 months!

Family magic shows 29th June 2008

Most of the magic shows I perform are private shows for corporate functions,
family days, sporting clubs, social clubs etc., so it’s great to get a chance for people to see me at a public show.

I’ll be performing my family magic show on;
Sunday 29th June, 12 noon and 1.00pm
Pipeworks Market, 400 Mahoneys Rd., Campbellfield
www.pipeworks.com.au

Say hello after the show, and let me know you saw my blog

I’m in the news, with Magic and Music.

The Whitehorse Leader did a nice profile piece on me, “Nunawading magician sees magic in his work“.

Sunday, June 15th will be my fifth appearance with The Whitehorse Orchestra.

I’m starting to think this may be an annual event!

Two performances will be at Holy Redeemer Hall, on the corner of York St and Mont Albert Rd, Surrey Hills,at  2.00pm and  3.30pm, on Sunday.
