UK Trip Slash Birthday.

On July 19th 2010 I packed one suitcase full of clothes and two road cases full of my magic show gear and props,and left the Florida Keys , I drove to Miami where I boarded Virgin Atlantic Flight #5 to London Heathrow International Airport in England. I arrived in England for my 5th time (I think) , Thanks to my great friends Mandy , Fin and Billy Parker. I am here this time for 2 1/2 weeks in order to perform 3 shows in Devin England , 1st Mandy's business partner and best friend Martin 's 50th birthday bash, Man these people know how to throw a party .(Once my Vodka arrived ;-) . The second show was a fundraiser for Mandy's charity. Then was the "Party Weekend" Friday and Sunday were parties held at Mandy And Fin's new Six bedroom,beautiful home in Devin.These parties included catered food , spur of the moment jam sessions by fellow Americans Billy Davidson, Steve Webb and Mark Macri , Mandy joined in to sing many songs as well and of course we had Close-up Magic sessions too. great time! Saturday was Mandy's and Fin's Big party which was held in a huge field and included a huge tent for the American's musical performance and my Magic Show, all went over GREAT! But before the entertainment we all participated in "IT'S A KNOCKOUT " Which is a huge team competition on very wet and very soapy blow-up obstacle courses MANY MANY LAUGHS , INJURIES AND SOAR OLD PEOPLE! you can see photos of the whole "Party Weekend" on Mandy's Facebook page ENJOY, http://www.facebook.com/video/?id=613413943#!/photos.php?id=687568451 (if you cant see them please send a friend request to Mandy Parker.)



I flew to the UK a few days before everybody else as I needed to meet my new friend Scott Penrose at London's Magic Circle to pick his doves which he lends me while I am abroad as i cannot bring mine due to the six month quarantine. So I was picked up at the airport by another great friend Spike Kelly , got the doves and stayed with him and wife Jackie for the first couple days in Shepperton England and got to hang out at the "The Kings Head " Pub where i have performed in the past. Then Off to Devin, In moving to Devin from Shepperton Fin Parker has started a new career, in Bird and Pest control. Which involves owning a very cool Harris Hawk named Alfie, I got to fly this bird and feed it out in the wild. man it was awesome. Here is a short video off me holding and Fin Flying Alfie. Awesome bird! . http://www.facebook.com/video/?id=613413943#!/video/video.php?v=431425048943 . I also spent 20 hours in two day on a three story roof helping Fin gull proof it by place those spikes all around the ledge so Seagulls can't land there, Putting gull wire along the peek and netting at the base so they cant nest there,It had been a long time since I worked a full day at a "Real" job. Guess it was kinda cool. lol.





All the parties were Awesome, I spent most of my downtime just relaxing as i perform six nights a week here in the keys and really enjoyed my time off by reading the Autobiography of Rock Star Slash ( Guns N' Roses & Velvet Revolver) which was a birthday gift from Jackie Kelly, Thanx again Jack.I spent the last couple days off my trip back in Shepperton with the the Kelly's and at the Kings Head Pub. Flew home on August 5th, turned 40 on August six, Had a week long party binge and am back on track now ready to continue with my Diet and exercise program and back to six nights a week, It's all Hot and Sweaty! I miss the UK weather......Special Thanks again to the Parker Family for all the great times.. Until next time,,, Rock ON!
