Andi Gladwin introduced Danny Garcia as holding the future of our magic, a performer whos creativity in magic means we have a bright future in front of us.

Its always fantastic to watch Danny perform, and even more to watch him lecture. His style of magic is not only relaxed and funny, but also mind blowingly creative and strong.

He opened with Greed, his very visual and fast bill change routine, £5 to £10 to £20 to 50p

Moving onto cards, Danny performed William Tell, a card thrown ninja style into the deck, transforms into the chosen card.

I always love seeing his static cards were cards visibility seem to attract an repeal each other before capturing a chosen card between them.

Rubber bands, signed card vanishing from box to appear at selected card, finger ring on and off rubber bands, before an impromptu version of mislead using a borrowed note and drinking straw.

An extremely strong start to the convention, and a pleasure to see Danny Garcia having fun and performing.
