Great to perform my strolling closeup magic at the New Zealand premiere of Now You See Me 2 this week.

Set three years after the events of the first film, the Four Horsemen return for a second mind-bending adventure, elevating the limits of stage illusion to new heights.

After outwitting the FBI and winning the public’s adulation with their Robin Hood-style magic spectacles, the illusionists resurface for a comeback performance in the hopes of exposing the unethical practices of a tech magnate.

Their only hope is to perform one last unprecedented stunt to clear their names and reveal the mastermind behind it all.

Featured in this year’s show – Sir John Rowles OBE, Tina Cross ONZM, Colin Parris, Barbie Davidson, Maryanne Rushton, Michael Colonna and Monique Feron with the Elektra Dancers and myself.

Great to perform my strolling closeup magic at the Viaduct Events Centre for the TVNZ New Season Launch Party.

The event had a circus theme and I entertained the audience of around a thousand people alongside four other magicians.  The ringmaster for the evening was Guy Cater who circulated throughout the room with a megaphone hyping up the magic with traditional showbiz flair.

Imagine my surprise when I turn around and bump into internet meme Alf Stewart from Home and Away.  During the announcement of the new season’s lineup pre-recorded clips of the ever-popular UK magician Dynamo were shown on the big screen.

The funniest part of the evening was when Alan forgot his hat and accidentally left it in the dressing room.  He almost got away with it too.
