⚽🎩 Last night was a little bit special...

I had the pleasure of entertaining guests at St Mary's Stadium, home of Southampton FC, as DMF: evolve celebrated their 9th birthday.

From impossible card revelations and mind-reading moments to a few suspiciously permanent-looking crosses appearing on people's hands, there were plenty of reactions ranging from laughter to complete confusion. πŸ˜†

The venue wasn't bad either.

When your 'green room' is a private box that overlooks the pitch at St Mary's, you can't really complain.

A huge thank you to Dan at DMF: evolve for inviting me along and trusting me to be part of the celebrations.

Thanks as well to everyone who stopped, watched, took part and allowed me to mess with their reality for a few minutes.

Now it's back to normal life... although I suspect a few people are still wondering how those crosses ended up where they did. πŸ˜‰

BOARD MEETING WITH THE BOSS πŸ‘”β˜•πŸŽ©

Today's agenda included:

βœ… Quality control of Costa FrappΓ©s
βœ… Advanced card inspection procedures
βœ… Determining whether bacon sandwiches improve magical ability
βœ… Important discussions about absolutely everything except business

The chairperson seemed happy with my performance, so I think my contract has been renewed for another year.

🎩 Rock music, Red Bull and a few inspirational quotes.

That's usually how I get ready before a gig.

Some people have a morning routine. Some athletes have a pre-match routine. Mine is pretty simple: turn the music up, get my head in the right place and remind myself why I love doing what I do.

It's funny how a small routine can help you switch from everyday life into "game mode."

What's your go-to routine before something important? πŸ‘‡πŸƒπŸŽΆβš‘

Oops... the algorithm's probably having a tantrum. πŸ˜†

No post from me for a couple of days. This was secretly a little experiment to see whether Facebook actually notices when I disappear.

So, if this has popped up on your feed, hit the πŸ‘ button and let me know you've seen it.

Something magical might happen...
..but let's be honest, it probably won't. πŸŽ©πŸ˜‚

P.S. If you've ever wondered whether the algorithm punishes people for taking a day off, we're about to find out together. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Close-up magic or grand illusion? πŸ€”πŸͺ„

What's your favourite?

The huge stage illusions where someone appears, disappears or gets cut in half...

OR

The close-up stuff where the magic happens right under your nose, sometimes even in your own hands?

Personally, I love the fact that close-up magic leaves nowhere to hide. When the cards, coins or sponge balls are in your hands and something impossible happens... that's a special kind of reaction.

So, let's settle it...

πŸ‘‡ Close-up or grand illusion? Which gets your vote and why? πŸͺ„βœ¨

P.S. No sitting on the fence. Pick one! πŸ˜†

Looking forward to next week. 🎩⚽

I've been booked to entertain guests at a private party in the Knightwood Lounge at St Mary's Stadium.

It's a good reminder that you never really know where the next conversation, recommendation or opportunity might lead.

With the venue overlooking the pitch, it's not a bad office for an evening... πŸ‘€

I'll share a few photos afterwards.

What's the coolest venue you've ever worked in, visited, or attended an event at?

P.S. No, Southampton haven't signed a magician. Yet. πŸ˜†πŸͺ„

Meet the Team πŸ‘‹

Employee #1 – Magic Steve
Founder, magician, chief executive of confusion, and the man responsible for carrying an alarming number of playing cards at all times.

Employee #2 – Amelia
Head of Research & Development. Tests new ideas, improves old ideas, and has absolutely no problem telling me when an idea belongs in the bin.

Employee #3 – You Lovely Lot
Marketing department, booking department, cheerleading squad, and occasional unpaid consultants.

Every time you like a post, leave a comment, recommend me to a friend, book a show, or share my page, you're helping Magic Steve grow.

The truth is, without you, Magic Steve would just be a bloke standing in his living room making cards disappear for a slightly confused audience of fish.

So thank you for all the support, encouragement, bookings, recommendations and laughs along the way. You're genuinely a huge part of this journey. ❀️

P.S. Employee #2 still believes she should be promoted to CEO. To be fair, she probably has a strong case. πŸ˜†πŸͺ„

Oops, forgot to post... but it's not too late to let the algorithm know I'm still alive!

I love it when my monthly supply of playing cards arrives. To most people, it's just boxes of cards. To a magician, it's fresh miracles waiting to happen. β™₯️♠️♦️♣️

What delivery gets you genuinely excited when it lands on your doorstep?

πŸͺ„πŸŽ©βœ¨οΈ

P.S. Facebook rewards consistency. Apparently 'having a life' isn't considered a valid excuse. πŸ˜†

🎩 Question for you...

What's your favourite kind of magic?

Do you prefer the traditional stuff... a deck of cards, a borrowed coin, something impossible happening right in front of your eyes?

Or do you enjoy magic that uses modern technology too? Phones, the internet, and things that blur the line between magic and technology.

It's a topic that can divide magicians, but at the end of the day, you're the audience, so your opinion is the one that really matters.

I'm genuinely curious...

What makes you stop and think, "How on earth did that happen?" 🀯

πŸ‘‡ Let me know in the comments. πŸͺ„βœ¨οΈ

I wasn't going to post today...

But apparently if I skip a day, the Facebook algorithm decides I've retired, moved to a desert island, and given up magic. πŸ˜‚

So here's my official "I'm still here" post.

No tricks. No deep thoughts. No inspirational life lesson.

Just a quick hello. πŸ‘‹

Since you're here, what's been the highlight of your week so far?

Mine has involved meeting some brilliant people, creating a few moments of amazement, and probably confusing a few brains along the way. 🎩✨

Have a great evening, folks! 😊
