This week has been a great thrill & one of the most exciting in a long time!

Imagine this scenario. I am on my way to a gig & I get a call asking me if I can perform magic at a private event for a cocktail reception, a little bit of strolling magic as the guests arrive. The difference with this event is that the small guest list consists of the players for the Vancouver Canucks, their wives, coaches & other special guests. What a thrill this was. The entire Aquilini family made me feel very welcome & the Canucks were a GREAT bunch of guys who just happened to LOVE magic…..who knew!

I do have to confess to not watching much hockey as it happens. Being an English fella who moved to Vancouver 11 years ago it is not a game that I ever really followed. However I do like the opportunity to cheer the home team on in the playoffs & always find the chance to do so very exciting!

Probably the most excited person I know was my youngest daughter Sophia who is 9. Imagine the look on her face the next morning when I gave her a water bottle signed by Roberto Luongo. She was the proudest child in her class that morning….ahh what a great feeling that was as a father.

So, I will be jetting off to the UK on Friday on a 2 week, 10 date tour, I will return on Sunday the 18th of October. Do not fear! While I am away the offices of MagicShow2Go will still be open. My wife Sue will be taking my calls & booking in shows for the rest of October, November & the busy Christmas season. If you do need to contact me in my abscence you can always do so by dropping me an email at matthew@magicshow2go.com

Hi all,

It’s been a while since I blogged, as always I have been extremely busy over the past few months. So what have I been up to?

Well first of all in the month of August I traveled down to the world famous Magic Castle in Hollywood, California to lecture. It was a real thrill to be invited to lecture at the Magic Castle & very much a childhood dream come true. After the lecture I got to spend the rest of the day (& night) hanging out at the Castle, making many new friends along the way. This was not the only lecture stop, on the way I got to lecture in San Francisco, Tacoma & Fresno too! In Fresno I got to lecture at Hocus-Pocus, the worlds largest online Magic Store. What a great time & a trip I will never forget.

I am back in Vancouver now entertaining at events for the rest of September. In October I will be jetting off to England for a 2 week, 10 date lecture tour. This will be a great opportunity to visit many cities I have never seen & make many more new friends. You know having the chance to travel & teach my own unique brand of Magic to Magicians & Magic Clubs all over the world is truly a fantastic thing!

For those looking to book me for a special event, I will be returning to Vancouver on October the 18th & will be accepting entertainment bookings until the 7th of November. On the 7th of November it is off to Las Vegas for 5 days to demo a new product at Mindvention, the worlds largest meeting of Mind Readers & Mentalists. After that it’s back to Vancouver for the rest of November & the busy Christmas Entertainment season.

By the way if you are looking for Entertainment for your Christmas Event get in touch with us soon! I am already 60% booked for the month of December & new bookings are coming in every day!

So until my next post, take care!
