21st of May – provisional start date for our annual summer season in Llandudno Town Hall with Happy Faces Children’s Charity. Every Wednesday over the summer.
14th of June – James Bond themed evening at Venue Cymru
Happy new year! Here’s some information about some of the shows we’ve got lined up so far for 2014:
We’re back at the Town Hall in Llandudno for our 6th summer season with Happy Faces. The shows will take place on Wednesday evenings over the summer as usual, and we’ll let you know more details just as soon as we have them – Happy Faces Facebook page
July sees us back in Llangollen, entertaining the crowds on the field for the International Musical Eisteddfod from the 8th to the 12th of July
And as if all that wasn’t enough, we’ll also be performing at a magic club dinner in March; and doing our very first talk on magic in October!
In addition to all the shows, we’re also working on a brand new act. With a new act, comes new props – and Bernie just had to take a look inside.
Hopefully, we’ll be showing you some sneak previews of elements from our new act over the next few months – but not too many as we want to keep it a surprise!
The weather was extremely hot and sunny all week, and there was an amazing atmosphere on the Eisteddfod field.
But that’s enough talk, time for the photographs!
As you can see, Jay performed close up magic for lots of people, mainly groups of school children. The adults were interested too, and it was very nice to be recognised by some people who had seen us in Seaside Special.
It wasn’t all street magic though. We also performed on all the outside stages; the Lawn Stage, the Amphitheatre, and the S4C Stage.
In fact, the only stage we didn’t perform on was the main Eisteddfod stage…
We took our floating table with us and, as always, it got great reactions from the crowd. Jay also performed a classic magic routine, the linking rings, which was very well received.
Of course, we weren’t the only ones from HTC Entertainment at the Eisteddfodd, and the others were very busy performing too:
Roslyn Walker attempted some dangerous blindfold knife juggling over a volunteer. He also completed a straightjacket escape in less than three minutes.
Lia showed off her agility with her hula hoop routines.
Kaleigh showed us why she’s the world unicycle champion.
Harley the Clown did some crazy balancing stunts, as well as juggling knives and making balloon animals.
In the evenings, we put on a fire show. Kaleigh unicycled as Roslyn and Harley juggled lit torches around her, and Lia used a flaming hula hoop. The most spectacular part of the fire shows was Harley breathing fire.
The weather was amazingly good, in fact it was perhaps a little too hot at times! We were especially grateful to the outside stages team who looked after us so well for the five days.
The Eisteddfod was a brilliant week, and we all had such a great time. We really hope we’ll be back again next year!
From Tuesday the 9th to Saturday the 14th of July, Gatling Magic will be in Llangollen for the 67th International Musical Eisteddfod.
We’ll be part of the Street Theatre events – roaming around the Eisteddfod field, showing close up magic and miracles to the crowds. We’ll also be in the Opening Town Parade on Tuesday.
