MAGICIANS! You can see ME with my vintage magic dealership The Enchanted Rabbit Magic Emporium at TWO magic conventions THIS MONTH! Leeds day of magic and Switzerland’s Dream Factory magic festival!

8th September: Leeds Magic Jam is organised by a lovely couple, Chris & Louise Stewart. They’re doing a great job for magic in the North of England, by running this absolutely non-pretentious one day of magic for all - at a bargain price too! Make sure you don’t miss it!

20th-22nd September: This is our SECOND European magic convention THIS YEAR!
The Dream Factory in Switzerland presents The Swiss Magic Festival… organised by collector of all things magical, Retonio Breitenmoser. It looks like a great weekend of magic, gala shows and dinners and fun! It takes place inside an actual magic and memorabilia museum, which is RIGHT UP MY STREET! Can’t wait to have a look around the place! We look forward to seeing some familiar faces there - and meeting new friends, too! Exciting!

And don’t forget to GET IN TOUCH ASAP if there’s anything specific that you’re looking for, that you would like me to bring along for you to purchase. I’ve got over 5,000 magic books in stock and well over 10,000 magic props and apparatus! Not to mention all of the memorabilia, magic posters, etc etc.
And come to our convention next year!

FIRST REVIEW OF MY EDINBURGH SHOW IS IN FROM World Magic Review and to be honest, I think it’s a pretty accurate review of this years show. I like it when reviewers actually know what they’re talking about! Read it below…

————————-

“Sometimes performers come to the Fringe with their sharply honed, beautifully produced masterpiece show that fully encapsulates the extent of their creative abilities. Other times, they’re just here for the party and a laugh, and invite the occasional audience to join in. With his performance of Not Playing with a Full Deck, Chris Cross feels squarely in that second category. And for what it is, it’s a good performance. Cross is in his element onstage, with jokes and magic with a blend of varying quality that feels perfectly balanced by years of experience in keeping people entertained.

Flyers for the show warn that it’s “not for the easily offended”, which may sound worrying at first, but Cross’s bark proves worse than his bite. His crowd work may feel more like a comedian’s than a magician’s, but his prodding remains gentle enough for the audience to still like him. If he does make the occasional marginally offensive joke, it feels almost like a tick box exercise; like the weird uncle at Christmas dinner who sticks his finger in the pudding not because he wants to taste it but just because he likes the idea of fulfilling the archetype of the family’s weird uncle. Perhaps this is a sign that the audience of the reviewed show was indeed the “not easily offended” that the flyer requested.

Cross has demonstrably significant experience as a magician and in Not Playing with a Full Deck it definitely shows. Card trick fans may even just appreciate the fancy shuffles and card choreography that he employs during the requisite card trick sequence of the show. The card tricks themselves are a highlight as well. Every magician who has ever performed a card trick has, at some point, claimed that the trick they perform is the Best Card Trick Ever. Cross is no different, and he puts forward a strong contender for that title. At the reviewed show Cross performed several tricks with a card deck he borrowed from a member of the audience, which provided a lovely little moment of unplanned audience participation. Cross’s stunt work is equally perfectly performed, timed down to the second for maximum effect.

As evidenced by the highlight reel that Cross plays before the show, and indeed by the archives of this publication, Cross is a highly skilled magician perfectly capable of performing an excellent five star show. He may not have chosen that route this year, but his fun mess-around show is still well worth the ticket price and hour of the audience’s time. If at times it feels like he is conducting a group interview for post-performance drinking buddies, who can blame him? The world is burning and we could all use a laugh, a trick, and a drink.

It's not every day you retire from a career spanning 4 decades and boasting 6 Paralympic medals!

28 years on from winning Gold at the 1996 Atlanta Paralympics, my last competition will be at the Cerebral Palsy Sport Nationals on the 8th of September.

This is sure to be an emotional and memorable occasion, and I hope as many of you can make it as possible – Team Miller has had an incredible journey!

As well as marking an end to my sporting career, the event aims to raise funds for my charity, SMILE Through Sport, to help create opportunities for disabled people to take part in grassroots sport – a fitting legacy.
