I enjoyed performing two shows this Thursday and Friday at the British Academy in St James' at 10-11 Carlton House Terrace, London SW1. This former residence of Prime Minister William Gladstone is a fitting backdrop for the elegant magic of the early 1900s. The music room - pictured below is close how I imagine the setting might have been for the great magicians of the past like Robert Houdin, who performed his show in at the Palais Royal in Paris. Space is so important in se
