High quality, memorable entertainment
Jay will be joining Gwrych Castle Trust for their Family Fundraiser on the 4th and 5th of June.
As well as Jay’s magic, there will also be stilt walkers, donkey rides, birds of prey, guided tours, crafts and stalls, and so much more.
The fun starts at 12pm each day, with an entry fee of £5 for adults.

We made our first visit to Clwyd Theatr Cymru recently, taking part in a show for Superkids North Wales.
There were lots of great acts, including the Elsber School of Theatre Dance, Andy & Sam Snowden, and the one and only Jimmy Cricket.

Escape for Life is a charity event taking place in Slaithwaite Spa Park in Huddersfield on Saturday the 5th of September.
Raising money for Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research, the event is a day of live performances, including magic and music.
Several brave people will undertake a barefoot firewalk; and the day will culminate in a rarely performed, and dangerous escape – being buried alive!
Performer Antony Britton will be buried in a 6ft grave, with over 6 tonnes of soil on top of him. He will have just 10 minutes to escape from the crushing weight, or his team will have to step in and rescue him to save his life.
You can also support the event via Antony’s JustGiving page.
We’ve been rather busy of late, so I’m a little behind with the blog posts. (If you’re wondering what it was that kept us so busy, visit the blog again later in the week, and there’ll be a post all about it.)
Today’s blog is a combination of two of our recent events, that share a common strand.
Firstly, back in June we performed at a James Bond themed evening for the Venue Cymru Fundraisers and the Llandudno Lions. It was a great chance for us to try something new, and we themed our magic using ideas and music from the James Bond films.
We almost also ended up with a stowaway, when Bernie tried to sneak into one of our bags when we weren’t looking. We managed to persuade him to stay at home, but he wasn’t very happy about it!
At the beginning of July we took part in the North Wales Magic Circle’s annual stage and cabaret competition.
Inspired by the themed show that we’d just done, we put together a new act specially for the competition. The ten minute act used music from the James Bond films as a backdrop to the magic.
We had so much fun with Conwy County Wrestling at their Halloween Havok show, and this time we brought along a special guest!
People always connect magicians with rabbits, and Bernie the Bunny is our rabbit. We take him with us wherever we travel, and he meets lots of people. We thought he would like to meet some of the wrestlers…
Byson seemed rather puzzled by Bernie. The wrestlers from the Golden Embassy were mean to Bernie, but he was rescued by Jack Union.
As well as the wrestling, the Oxjam Llandudno team were there, raising money by painting nails. A lot of the wrestlers had their nails painted in pretty colours, but Jay chose a classic black nail varnish!
