Central London Magician at the Grange City Hotel

This week I performed as a central London magician for the first time at The Grange City Hotel. This is a very plush establishment and ideal for close-up magic. The event was held outside which is a bit of a risk, however, the weather was perfect and the guests were great fun. Working as a central London Magician has its advantages as it is reasonably close to home and many thousands of corporate events are held there each year.

I was working for a company called Faraday, which I learned was financial underwriters. This means very little to me, but I found out there was an aviation section that could tell me the riskiest times to fly and the most dangerous places to land.

They were by nature very analytical and consequently were curious about the magic. This creates fewer problems than one would expect, as sometimes looking too closely makes you miss the most important things.

Also, entertaining was an excellent football juggler who managed to get a member of staff to split his trousers whilst participating in a stunt. It did not appear to create any hostility and the moment was hard to beat.

We performed a quick cabaret trick together towards the end of his act which went down very well, involving a signed card in a Pringles Tube.

I had to drive to Manchester that evening for a job at Salford University, so eventually, I had to leave London. This is a beautiful venue with accommodating staff, as usual, I can’t speak for the food as I don’t eat while working, but it all looked splendid.
