MAN OF MAGIC

CONGRATULATIONS to DAVID WEEKS on being promoted to Member of The Inner Magic Circle with Gold Star. Given personally by the President, this is the highest degree within The Magic Circle and a status David now shares with, among others, Lance Burton, Siegfried and Roy, David Copperfield, The Pendragons, Paul Daniels, Wayne Dobson and Geoffrey Durham.

David first got bitten by the magic bug when he was given a copy of The Boy’s Book of Magic for his 6th birthday. In his teens he became a member of his local magic club, The Bexleyheath Society of Magicians, who lowered their entry age so that he could join.

In 1991, he was admitted to membership of The Magic Circle and later promoted to Associate of The Inner Magic Circle. After twenty-six years of teaching drama, he gave up education in 2000 and became a full time professional magician whose skill and flair has been acknowledged by the awarding of this honour.

Well done!

And, in case you missed it, here’s David performing a little magic for the magical Kylie Minogue…

If I send David a fiver can he turn it into a £50 for me ? Also if he can tell him he can keep it if he can make the Star Wars prequels disappear !

He can certainly turn £5 into £50, but getting rid of STAR WARS I, II and III is, unfortunately, beyond even his magical abilities! :-)

May I suggest, as a non-magical alternative, the 'off' button' on the TV set.
