San Francisco


Beautiful San Francisco, home of the 1800's Gold Rush and the Golden Gate Bridge, frequent quakes that shift the earth, and a 60's centre of civil rights that changed the country forever. Diverse neighbourhoods are home to diverse people; from Silicon Valley that transformed the world's technology, to a Chinatown home to the largest Chinese population outside Asia. Each street and neighbourhood has such distinct character, you can feel as though you're walking through areas of the USA, Europe, and Asia all in one short stroll.


The bustling pier, home to a loud band of sea lions and the imposing sight of Alkatraz was the destination for the 4th of July celebrations and fireworks last night, with plenty of enthusiastic 'oo's and ah's'.


I'm performing tonight at Club Deluxe, as part of a comedy night. And what could be more silly and ridiculous than apparently bending spoons with 'mind powers'. Throughout this year, I've become far more passionate about the truth, and disappointed in the B.S. touted by many in my, and similar, professions. I am, more than ever, determined to present my effects as the 'illusions' they are, free of misleading flim flam - and more entertaining than ever.
