dgmagic - UK magic blog by magician Dan Gifford

Thanks to the members of Sheffield Circle of Magicians for the great reception to my lecture last Thursday night.

One effect from my notes is available here.

Next week, on the 20th of March, I am presenting my lecture ‘High Impact Magic’ at the Sheffield Magic Circle.

I haven’t done a lecture for a while so I’m looking forward to it.

I’ve written before about some of the strange enquiries I get.

This time a chap rang and asked if I knew where he could get some doves. That was literally the first thing he said, ‘Hi, do you know where I can get some doves?’

I guess the question is a reasonable one to ask a magician but, it was just the way he asked with no preamble or explanation, like I must know. It made me wonder if I have mistakenly mentioned on my website that I sell doves.

Well, just for the record I’ve checked. I don’t and I’ve never used them.

In the end I told him some magic shops that might be able to help.
