Magical gems in the Junkyard!
Having shuffled between Nevada and California twice in the last year, I guess it only makes ‘crazy logical’ sense that my first public show since relocating to Texas, is going to be in Los Angeles! I have only performed for three nights at the Magic Castle in the last 28 years and this will be the first time in 25 years that I will be presenting my full show in California at a public venue.
I am both pleased and proud to be flying out to LA to perform the opening night of ‘Junkyard Magic,’ on 5th February; this is a brand new venture by my dear friend and colleague Steve Mitchell. This is a new monthly magic/dinner show at ‘The Junkyard Café’ in Simi Valley and it looks like shaping up to become a fabulous addition to the Southern California magic scene. It’s a great opportunity to catch top professionals perform the ‘long form’ versions of their shows rather than the ‘Reader’s Digest’ versions featured at the Castle.
The show will be hosted by the great Pop Haydn who is dropping into our current time zone to present some of his incredible feats of magic and amusement. Haydn has been named performing ‘Magician of the Year’ at the Magic Castle an amazing six times, Always a delight to watch, Pop and I have been friends for many years but this will mark the first time we have had the opportunity to perform together. Watch out ‘Junkyard…’
I will be performing my award winning ‘Nick Lewin’s Comedy Magic’ show that was featured for 5 years in Las Vegas at the Maxim Hotel, plus a few new effects that will surprise even those who caught my Sin City show. I will look forward to meeting up with old and new friends at the event, so if you live in the Los Angeles area, I extend a heartfelt welcome for you to come along and be a part of this inaugural performance.
A special dinner kicks off the evening at 7.00pm followed by the show at 8.00pm. The cost of the dinner and show is just $30—or as I like to think of it, ‘a couple of shots of Patron at the Castle!’ If you get together a group there are even discounts available. A reservation is required for the event and can be made by calling 805.520.5865. You can get full details of this, and upcoming bookings, at www.junkyardmagic.weebly.com
We are going to be having a blast on the 5th February at that debut night of ‘Junkyard Magic,’ and I sincerely hope that you join us to be part of the fun, be there or be square! Even better get together a group and help us make this a mini magic convention. Steve, Pop and I will be getting there early and looking forward to meeting up with everyone and getting to say ‘Howdy’ to you personally. The doors open at 6.30 PM with a no host bar.
