Say the word ‘Magician’ and what do you imagine? Magicians: many people envisage a man in a tuxedo, possibly with a cape and top hat. He’s probably performing magic with some doves, a rabbit, playing cards…or he is sawing a woman in half. These traditional images are a far cry from most modern magicians. Yes, the men often wear suits but they will most likely be the type worn in an office. Or, perhaps a bit of hipster 3…
From time to time fans ask show biz stars like me and Keanu to be photographed with us. Sometimes this involves putting your arms around a woman’s waist. I noticed that when Keanu does this he holds his hands in a way so that he is not grabbing hold of the woman. I thought this was great etiquette. Here’s Kneau Here’s me following Kneau’s example.

(Er… you are aware of the Trade and Descriptions Act, Frank?) I phoned her the moment I saw her request. (Enough,…
Finding Magic Frank through Bark made my lockdown zoom birthday party into a great success. Magic Frank’s attention to detail and preperation with me by phone, Email, text and post during the lead up to the event was second to none.
