My Week In Magic - Update 26

The week started well with some new content posted on the site.

I completed my first book review of “XYA” by Chris Dugdale and posted it on Monday. Good feedback received from Chris who was pleased that I enjoyed his book.

I’ve also read “Spun Into Gold” by Romany during the week. Romany had agreed to answer a few interview questions as well which is great news. I’ve completed the book review which I will post this Friday and I am now working on the interview which I expect will be posted in a couple of weeks time.

Have now picked up “Magic Is Dead” again by Ian Frisch Will let you know how I get on with it. Unlikely to review this book as I am just looking to enjoy it without note keeping etc

On Friday I published my latest interview with Richard Jones. He was pleased with the early copy and it was published on Friday. Take a read if you haven't already.

Activity wise, mid-week, I attended my first AGM for the Leicester Magicians network. A good meet and social. Membership is now growing rapidly as the word gets out about this club. If you haven’t already, check out their FaceBook page. A decent club with activities most weeks.

Collectables wise, one new item arrived this week but I have to wait for it as a present for my birthday next month. The new Shin Lim magic set. Looking forward to that one as it gets you 2 1/2 hours of instructional video by Shin Lim. Think I have a few magic related pressies for my birthday in March.

Next week I have a "Cups and Balls" workshop with Adam Edgeley from Leicester Magicians Network. Free for members and I know that a lot of the members have been looking forward to this particular session. Learn more here.

I also have a new show review in the planning stages and I will be attending the Lxke Trix Zoom show on the Friday. Review to follow soon.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
