Love playing with these in my magic shows. I had time during the lockdowns to learn lots of new magic. I learnt a lot from the wonderful magician Jeff McBride’s tapes on the subject from the 1980s(?) and the brilliant Levent’s 3 dvd set where he goes into incredible detail about the history of how they have been performed and the techniques used to amuse.

Leatherhead! Halloween Magic Shows
Come to the awesome Swan Centre on Saturday October 30th. Free 30 minute magic shows! Great fun for all the family.
Timer to get more work done
Forget saying ‘I will work all day!’ We need focused chunks of time in flow. Ignore your phone and GO! I loved using my sand timers. I have a 15, 30 and 60 minute sand timer. Great just to flip it and BOOM I’m working and I know there is a delicious break ahead of me.
The pomodoro technique works on this principle; 25 minutes of focused work and then a 5 minute break. It’s a wonderful system. 25 minutes is easy to achieve but a good time to get some hard work done. I love this Pihen timer on Amazon. Just tip it onto a 25 minute time and then flip to 5 for a proud break. I’m going to order a second one I like them that much.
This set of sand timers are also great.

I have had a great run of small parties since May, doing parties every week, mostly little ones in gardens. Hopefully the bigger events will come back soon. Some have been getting in touch.
Thank you!
Mean Comments
It was a little disconcerting when I first got a few mean comments/hate(?) comments on my YouTube videos. But then they really started to make me laugh. I love how people have to state that comedy is “NOT FUNNY!” Because something is not funny to me, that does not make it not funny. That is the wonderful and ghastly truth of comedy; that you can never create a joke that makes everyone laugh.
As I started to get some success on YouTube they really seemed ridiculous and I began to screen shot them to make a video. Shall I make a part 2?
The Great British Bake Off – My Tribute
I had great fun making this one. I had seen bits and pieces of TGBBO with my wife as she loves but I wasn’t really into it but had an idea to do a video about it and I got really into the show. I think the dynamics of it; the music the bright backdrop and the range of characters are brilliantly done. I also think there’s an awkward chemistry between that the cast that is actually really fun. Embrace awkwardness! It’s hilarious.

Upside down fun!
I love fitness and I love fitness gadgets and daft toys. Saw a cheap pair of these on eBay and had to have a go. I nearly gave myself a hernia laughing when editing it today.
YouTube is my full time job now. If you could subscribe and share that would help me a lot. Thank you! Ritchie
Keep the faith! Keep smiling! 2021 will be much better folks.
Harry Potter fan art
I received a lovely drawing in the post this week from a super artist named Pol Peiró Navarro from Barcelona. Check him out on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/polpeiro
I had a brilliant time acting in the movie Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire. I had small speaking part as the Death Eater Avery. I spent 6 great weeks on the set. Sadly my part was taken out as a lot of parts are in such a big movie.
Should I make a longer video with the story? Comment below!
