Paul Daniels (RIP) Eat Your Heart Out

Another busy day at Burnham for Nigel and Alice, corralling Iris and Bertie for an early start in the Show Bar to excitedly pick up their pre-booked Magic Boxes ......

..... and partake in a spot of tuition of a mystical type nature to hopefully master the art of illusion  .......

...... to amaze and beguile the Lovely Laura and Tom the Scientist when they get home.

Nigel and Alice tried not to watch too closely .......

...... so they could ooooo and ahhhh and gasp "how did you do that?", convincingly  when the little ones tried to hone their skills on them later back at the caravan.

It was, they said, emotional when I and B were able to change a piece of blank paper into a five pound note, predict correctly what number a dice would fall and how to cut a piece of sting in a frame and then put it back together again among other things ........

......... before the finale, when balloons were skilfully twisted and knotted to make pirate swords, although poor Alice had to admit to squirming a little as she doesn't exactly embrace the popping of balloons at the best of times, but for her beloved adopted niece and nephew she held firm.  More magical memories and a very relieved Alice when the last pop was done! Happy days.

A great idea. You will make prestidigitators out of them, yet!
