The 2011 Magic Show                                                                                         1 DVD

This DVD features an entire two-hour party from Stephen's show. It begins with a one-hour magic and puppet show. There is a small break while the children eat their tea which is followed by all the party games. It contains Stephen's colourful costume, his new banners, several puppet ventriloquist routines and his famous linking rings routine.

The camera was static, left shooting the entire party from the window sill opposite the performance area. But everything is clear and visible and other than a few heads that pop up now and again, is a very watchable performance.

I include it within this shop as it was requested by numerous people to see my current performance and so I make this DVD available to you, live and unedited so you get to see a real performance to a real birthday party of children.

This DVD contains two x 40 minute magic & puppet shows that were recorded at a public funday in April 2012. Both shows were performed on a muddy field, in the rain under a marquee. The cameras were hand-held throughout the performance. However, both shows went fantastic and they showcase my current performing persona, along with my new back-drops, costume and overall branding makeover for this year. Also included are numerous new routines and tricks and both shows contain completely different effects.

Also included is a small twenty-five minute lecture I did on iPhone magic, performing and then educating a group of magicians on tricks that can be performed with an iPhone.
