Just wanted to clear something up
We are promoting Steve Axtell's appearance at South Tyneside International Magic Festival as his first UK appearance but one or two people have noticed his name on the Southern Magic Conventions bill and also Blackpool... He won't be at the Southern Magic Convention - but his company is being represented by two of his UK customers. He WILL be at Blackpool but ONLY dealing. So his first ever UK lecture and performance will be for us!! Along with first ever UK appearances by Patrick G Redford and Paul Romhany PLUS loads of other GREAT things... Are you coming to the 6th annual South Tyneside International Magic Convention on Friday 13th: Saturday 14th: Sunday 15th March 2009..? Once again The Magic Box and The Customs House Theatre have sponsored this event. The convention will be hosted by the Customs House Theatre in South Shields and the Sea Hotel will again be the venue for the Welcome Evening and the Midnight Show. Its only £65 for 7 lectures, 3 Close-Up sessions, 2 Gala Shows and Midnight Show Tell you what - we will throw in 2 buffet lunches, transport to and from the Gala Shows and access to 7 dealers too... Acts booked to date Paul Daniels ~ UK Paul Daniels is without doubt one of the most accomplished magicians in the World, and certainly one of the most exciting. Add to that a unique comedy style and you have a complete entertainer and one of the funniest men in show business. David Williamson ~ USA This man dazzles audiences with a unique and delightful brand of entertainment, blending heart-stopping magic with side-splitting hilarity. A born showman and an unusually accomplished sleight of hand artist. As host of the United Kingdom's acclaimed television series The Magic Comedy Strip, David's irresistible mix of humour and skill helped make it one of the highest rated shows in the country. He has created illusions for and performed in several commercials and has developed TV shows for Walt Disney Productions and ABC, as well as consulting for illusionists David Copperfield's and David Blaine's TV specials. Banachek ~ USA Described as the "Cream of the Crop" when it comes to entertainers, Banachek is the world's leading Mentalist. His talents are so incredible that he is the only mentalist ever to fool scientists into believing he possessed `psychic powers' only to later reveal he was fooling them. Performers around the world such as the colourful Penn & Teller, the Amazing James Randi and television's unique street magician Criss Angel seek his performing expertise. Companies and theatres seek him for his outstanding performing abilities. Steve Axtell ~ USA FIRST EVER UK LECTURE AND PERFORMANCE!! Steve Axtell has been teaching puppet workshops for years and has created a huge puppet related web resource. His puppet designs have been in movies, on television, on Broadway, on Vegas stages, and schools all over the world. Thousands of performers in the entertainment industry find Axtell puppets to be the top of the line. After his spot in the kids show Steve will present a 1 hour lecture on creativity including showing his latest creations and inventions followed by questions and answers. Bob Sheets ~ USA From Washington, D.C. via San Diego, Chicago, & Aspen. Behind Bob's humorous presentation style is experience gained from one of the most diverse work histories in Magic. Serious credentials in a variety of venues include Circus and Side Show performer, Shopping Centre Magic promotions, Magic Bartender, Street Magician, Bar/Restaurant Owner, Renaissance Festival performer, Magic Dinner Theatre entrepreneur, Trade Show crowd stopper, and Sales Meeting wake-up artist. Bob lectures and performs for magicians all over the world, including England, Holland, Denmark, Sweden, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Australia, Japan and India. Paul Dabek ~ UK From the stages of London's West end to the elegant ballroom of Dalgatie Castle, from the theatres of the world's top cruise lines to grand halls, audiences have been enchanted by the stage artistry of Paul Dabek. His spellbinding performances combine stage illusion, slight of hand, comedy, audience participation, flash and colour into a theatrical tour of wonders. Jasper ~ UK Jasper Blakeley is an entertainer who happens to be a magician. Probably best known for his Russian-esque mentalist character `Kockov', Jasper will be showcasing other parts of his performance repertoire. As well as being a close-up and cabaret character magician, Jasper also works as himself as a children's entertainer. Its part of his children's show he'll be performing at the convention. Not being a believer in typical children's magic props, Jasper uses his training as an actor and professional idiot to create genuine laughter from the simplest of situations. Jasper believes by creating a full 45 minute show that fits into a shoebox he has to work harder without relying on shiny tubes and bunny rabbits. Russ Stevens ~ UK Russ Stevens' career started in 1977 when, at the age of sixteen, he won the coveted Magic Circle Young Magician of the Year Competition. Later that year he starred in their annual show in London's West-End, and was an immediate hit turning professional at the beginning of 1978. He performed 3 seasons in Mystique at Blackpool Last September his full illusion show was flown out to Las Vegas where he performed for 4000 delegates at the Mandalay Bay Hotel Patrick G Redford FIRST EVER UK LECTURE AND PERFORMANCE!! He's best known in the mentalism/magic community as Patrick Redford. His forte is mentalism based magic. He's published various projects over the past five years that include the highly acclaimed "Triangle" a mentalism publication that focused on making the audience the mind readers and presented itself in comic book format. He's also had the privilege to have been a featured lecturer at Danny Archer's Mindvention in Las Vegas in 2007. The lecture itself features some of his best work sampled from the large body of work listed below. There's a hands off version of Any Card @ Any Number that will fool you There's a sure-fire method to make anyone forget virtually anything. There's a chair prediction that's incredibly direct and clean. And Much More But the focus isn't just on the effects, no. The focus is on the creation, the whys and hows, and the small presentational touches that make these things so *** powerful. Paul Romhany FIRST EVER UK LECTURE AND PERFORMANCE!! Originally from New Zealand, Paul Romhany combines his skill and artistry as a magician with his natural comic ability to bring to the stage a highly entertaining and hilarious show that is filled with original magic and illusion. In 2004 Paul was awarded the People's Choice Award from PCAM for his innovative performance as Charlie Chaplin. His ability to take a room full of people and turn them in to an audience, and then to elevate that audience to an extremely high level of fun and laughter is what keep this act in such high demand in the corporate market and on cruise ships throughout the world, with performances in over 54 countries and 17 national television appearance. Like a silent movie come to life, Paul brings the visual comedy of Charlie Chaplin back to life in this International Award Winning Magic Act, considered to be one of the most entertaining and original acts in magic today. His ability to communicate without words, to take a room full of people and turn them in to an audience, and then to elevate that audience to an extremely high level of fun and laughter is what keeps this act in such high demand throughout the world.To see Paul Romhany on stage is to witness a magical transformation. While his skills and artistry as an illusionist are unsurpassed, Paul takes his performance to another dimension when he applies makeup as the audience watches, suddenly leaving behind Paul Romhany and becoming Charlie Chaplin. You may know Paul from some of his 40 marketed routines and effects Midnight Show The Midnight Show will be held at the Sea Hotel after the Gala Show on Friday 13th March. Food will be available from 10.30pm – 11.30pm. The midnight show is available to registered delegates only and must be pre-booked on your convention registration form. Featuring:~ Kockov and Uncle Al the Kiddie's PalAs the inventor of 13 original performance characters, Jasper has agreed to unleash one of his most notorious and subversive creations, deranged children's entertainer, `Uncle Al the Kiddie's Pal'. This truly foul-mouthed North-East accented kids entertainer is strictly for adults, and whilst he was designed for the stand-up comedy circuit, anybody who is a children's entertainer can easily identify with him. Embodying all that is politically and socially incorrect about a man supposedly doing a child's birthday party, Uncle Al will shock and amuse you in equal measure. Truly offensive, truly un-PC and truly memorable. You are invited to a birthday party with a difference – prepare to meet `Uncle Al the Kiddie's Pal'. GALA SHOWS The two shows this year will be held at the Customs House Theatre, Mill Dam, South Shields. If you require extra tickets for your friends or family you can either book them direct with the Customs House, but doing it this way you will not be able to sit together.

Just finalised details for Paul Daniels to run his first-ever Performance Workshop and also perform the whole second half of the Friday night Gala Show Master Class Info 2009 The South Tyneside International Magic Convention will again be happening from 13th – 15th March 2009. We have another great line-up of performers from the USA and UK, some of which in addition to their lecture at the convention will be holding a Master Class. Master Classes are ideal because sometimes the lecturers would like to spend more time on a particular effect. They are also a way of getting to see and learn from a performer in an intimate setting, and perhaps getting one-on-one instruction on a routine that has been developed and perfected over years, saving you months of trial and experimentation. We have been running Master Classes for the last four years and would like to invite you to attend one in 2009. See details of convention here http://www.magicbox.uk.com/shop.php/sout......_15.html We have a VERY special first-ever workshop by Paul Daniels See details here http://www.pauldanielsmasterclass.co.uk Each Master Class below is limited to 20 people BANACHEK Thursday 12th March 6pm – 9pm This is a unique opportunity to learn how to make a very good living. Banachek will give and teach his full memory lecture that he gives to corporate clients at thousands of dollars an engagement. He will put you through the class enabling you to learn the best way to teach it and then he will teach the workings of the few effects that go with it. This is a course that can be taught to corporate clients and even school children. Each person will receive a small USB with the power point demo that they can edit for themselves and the booklet that they can edit, personalize and publish. This is a huge money-maker for the right person. You will have everything you need to walk out the door and make a very good living. Banachek will also take questions on his metal bending, perform a routine in detail and work with anyone one on one – in front of the class of course. £80 PAUL ROMHANY Sunday 15th March 3pm – 6pm THE ONLY MAGIC MASTERCLASS WHERE YOU WILL RECEIVE MORE THAN YOUR MONEY BACK WITH A SPECIAL GIFT - and the chance to make thousands of pounds!! If you were to buy all of the effects taught separately you would be paying over $500. Paul Romhany is offering a very special limited Master Class for magicians who want commercial, real world magic. This Master Class will feature some of Pauls' TOP SELLING magic products including: 1) Bunnies Gone Wild - Paul's handling for his "Wild Card" routine You will also receive the necessary cards see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-f04NGxFJwk 2) Various card moves from Minuette Aces: (bring your own deck of cards) Paul's award winning Four Ace routine. see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJF6D2WpOlc&feature=related 3) Time Change: Paul's top winning routine for walk-around and close-up using a pocket watch and special cards. 4) Five Card Repeat: This routine alone sells for $99.00.

Paul has published two new books on these subjects. Plus Paul will explain his handling for a class magic effect bonus stand-up comedy routine that will be launched in March 2009 to the magic community.

This DVD is a generic teaching DVD that magicians can use to copy and sell themselves to the public. Every person who attends will get their own master copy of this DVD and permission to produce these DVDs themselves. A generic DVD that is valuable for all magicians from street performers, birthday party magicians to stage show illusionists who want to have a great professional product to sell after their shows. In this DVD all the tricks are performed and shot with HANDS ONLY, so you never see the face of the magician teaching the tricks making it a very generic product you can sell after your shows. THE TRICKS TAUGHT ON THIS DVD INCLUDE: · Floating a playing card · Floating a candle · Fandango coin routine · Linking safety pins · 2-1 string trick · One handed cut of deck of cards · PLUS two interactive DVD tricks and three performances (hands only) of classics of magic.
