Ava the Magician's Apprentice and the Power of the Wand
Watch her almighty power of the wand as she turns Chris P Tee Magician into a Frog
What I love about this video clip of the Bristol Magician Chris P Tee is that Ava has no idea of the power she has.
This is like all of us, we don't realise how good we are at something, or how much we enjoy it, until we give it a go.
Ava has the wand in her hand and you have your future in yours.
Grab your opportunities and trust yourself to make magic. Just like Ava.

Magic Fletcher Grabs Money from the Air.
Magician Paul Daniels Dies Aged 77
A massive hole has been ripped out of the heart of magic. My childhood hero, Paul Daniels has died today aged 77 of a Brain Tumor.
His was a tough road to success, he made through skill, determination and never backing down. He will be sadly missed by friend and foe alike.
Never afraid to speak his mind, believe in himself and his deeds, he was a true professional who stood his ground and I admired him greatly.
My thoughts are with his family, the lovely Debbie McGee, Martin Daniels, Gary, Paul and everyone else whom I do not know personally, but deserve some privacy during this difficult time.
Paul has left a lasting legacy, he has shared some much that any budding magician could learn a lifetimes worth of work, from the guy who did it all.
Thanks for the Magic and for sharing your wit and mystery with us all. I am truly greatful for my life of magic which you, by default, encouraged. Goodbye Paul x

Little Pirate Evie and Her Favourite Colour with Chris P Tee
Why would a Children's Entertainer want a kid to run rings around him?
Because sometimes, the results are amazing.
If everything happens the way you expect, every time, without fail.
It becomes boring.
When things are mixed up a bit, you are learning. You are improving.
In the video I make out that I am exasperated. I'm loving what she is coming up with. A simple trick is getting far more mileage and I am milking it.
The audience are laughing, I'm happy, it doesn't matter who is getting the most laughs (Evie, obviously) because everyone is having a great time.
It was Evie's big brothers birthday and he was a right card as well. I had a fantastic time with them and some of the kindest comments from parents, who were crying with laughter.
Thanks to the Cub Scouts, I learned a valuable lesson when I was a kid.
"Be Prepared"
Thanks to my Dad, I learned:
"Adapt or Die"
and don't worry if things are going wrong, sometimes, it's for the best.
