 Phil Creighton has an interview featured on GetReading.co.uk with Paul Daniels including details of Pauls appearance at the Best of British Variety Tour 2010, on Saturday September 18 at The Anvil in Basingstoke.
The master magician will soon be sharing a stage with the staples of 80s children’s TV as part of this year’s Best of British Variety Tour, writes Phil Creighton. It comes to the Anvil in Basingstoke in September and the wizard of Wargrave can’t wait to get back on the road with the double act.
In the interview Paul talks about his tour, magic, and working the variety circuit.
The Best Of British Variety Tour returns for it's third consecutive year after the success of the last two years. The unique tour unites the well known variety entertainment from past decades.
After popular demand, Paul Daniels and The Krankies who took part in the inaugural tour return to Best of British alongside the host for the show, the irrepressible Christopher Biggins, Irish singer Dana, The Grumbleweeds and for the first time as a solo act one half of one of the most famous comedy double acts since comedy began - Syd Little of Little & Large fame.

David Copperfield Tour - Manchester Apollo - 2010 - Or Is it? UPDATED |

 A number of people picked up yesterday that Eventful.com, a ticket feed site was listing David Copperfield appearing at The Manchester Apollo in November and December 2010.
This obviously caused a lot of excitement in the Magic world, as this would be Copperfield's first UK appearance for almost 15 years.
Rather than jumping on the bandwagon, we did a bit of searching and talking to those in the know..
Odd fact number one was that nobody that should know David was on the way over, knew anything about this.
Odd fact number two was that the show dates lasted 2 months, and included the normal scheduled Vegas dates on November 28th 2010.
The last oddity was that our source at the Apollo told us:
"No certainly not, we dont have David Copperfield booked on those dates, in fact we already have a confirmed event during that time"
They also went on to say, potentially hinting at a future date:
"We don't even have him down as a potential artist for the venue at the moment, thats not to say we won't, but currently no"
This seems to point to some horrible error that will leave a lot of magicians slightly disappointed.
We also spoke to Chris Kenner yesterday, who is the Executive Producer for David Copperfield, and he confirmed that David was not going to be appearing in the UK during the dates listed on eventful.com
So it appears that UK David Copperfield fans will need to wait, although how long is unclear, as at last years International Magic Convention, during a live video feed David did hint at a 'european' date in 2011/2012. |

Following on from discussions at the AGM around additional meetings during the year, the council have organised three additional experimental evenings.
These three extra evenings will take the form of a 'themed club night', allowing members more time to discuss, show, experiment and share ideas and effects with each other. These evenings will be as interactive for all members as we can make them. Further information on the theme for each evening will be advised closer to the actual dates.
These additional evenings will take place on Thursday 2nd September, Thursday 7th October and Thursday 4th November 2010.
If members have any ideas on specific themes, please just let one of the council members know. |
