On another subject, we went to a magic show last night, first one in ages.
It was courtesy of Morgan and West Time Travelling Magicians and it was utterly superb.
Magic is one of those things you have to really see live to fully appreciate. You know it's all tricks but simply can't figure out how it's done.
The delivery matters a lot of course, not only to make the tricks work but as part of the entertainment and this was one of Morgan and West's many strengths. Their patter was razor sharp and very funny.
Show took place at the New Greenham Arts Centre and was full to overflowing. Nice aspect was that, literally, the audience had a full helping of folks from all ages, lots of children their along with quite a few parents and grand parents. We were integral to the show with most of the tricks involving the participation of a least one of us but this was done in a fun way and not even the most timid of folks looked embarrassed.
Pick of the tricks for me was the "travelling cards" that somehow made their way from one side of the stage to the other, a close follow up being the "mystery biscuit" routine where one of the audience not only had her favourite cookies divined but got given a packet of them as well.
Also mention has to be made of "Hobbit the Rabbit" who survived a harrowing process of natural selection to become a much loved pet, along with personalised medal.
Very highly recommended, if Morgan and West are playing anywhere nearby go and see them, stupefaction guaranteed.
