345/365 - Spongebob Squarepants, originally uploaded by magirob.

Wednesday 25th August 2010 - Today i have yet another Video Linked Photograph, for some reason or another I have the very odd and rather pointless ability to draw Spongebob Squarepants from memory - don't ask me why i can do this, I just can.

I have done this picture with Dazzle in mind, he is about the world biggest Spongebob fan.

Here is the Video - www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEopAjJaNs8

Day 344 - Origami Frog


344/365 - Origami Frog, originally uploaded by magirob.

Tuesday 24th August 2010 - Another Video linked photo today, I have been into Origami for about 10 years and can make all sorts of things, however this simple little frog is one of my favourites to make simply because of the neat little Magic effect I can do with it.

I cant remember where I learnt how to make the frog, it probably had something to do with David in Wales, I blame him for giving me most of my magic knowledge :o)

You don't see the magic effect in this video but you do see me making the frog, enjoy - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=humiILZdyO4

Day 343 - Ladybird


343/365 - Ladybird, originally uploaded by magirob.

Monday 23rd August 2010 - Following on from Yesterdays video linked Photograph I have another one for you today.

Here is one of the smallest balloon models I make, about 5 or 6 years ago I counted how many different things I could make out of Balloons and back then it was around 400, these days I think I could double that (or get mighty close).

If you want to see a real expert at balloons then i recommend you go see The Amazing Mr Tall, he is the Best Balloon modeler in the south of England by far, some of his Balloon characters are amazing, Whenever we work together we are always trying new Ideas and he comes up with some wicked models.

Anyway, Here is the youtube clip for today - www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAcsLX0eVx8 (when i last looked the film was still processing so if its not there, try later on :D )

Day 342 - Torn and Restored Newspaper

Sunday 22nd August 2010 - The other day I missed a phone call from David, :o(
David is a good friend of mine who now lives in Wales, When I first got into performing magic he took me under his wing and taught me a lot about the art of magic, I would not be where I am in the magic world without Davids help.

One of the effects he taught me was this one called the Torn and Restored Newspaper, This version was created by Patrick Page who died earlier this year.

Many people who read my blog have been asking to see some magic so here we go, just for you readers of my photo blog - The Torn and Restored Newspaper thanks to David G and Pat Page - www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0emvhmRKgM

Thursday 19th August 2010 - I went to see the New Karate Kid film tonight, being a big fan of the original 3 films (I dont count the 4th as a proper Karate Kid film) I was not expecting much from this new one. I even went to the cinema in a totally non Karate mood (if there IS such a thing).

Well what a surprise it was, I really REALLY enjoyed it, it was FANTASTIC, The moment when the Kid first makes use of his unknown jacket on/jacket off powers had me grinning from head to toe (yes my grin is too big to go across my face).

Awesome Awesome AWESOME

Thursday 5th August 2010 – Cadiz is a bit of a disappointment, I think its because I have seen some amazing sights recently and it does not compare to any of those. It’s the same as many other Spanish towns, one giant building site.

Here I am on the Balcony of St Marks Basilica over looking St Marks Square.
