I have been contracted as an Artist/Teacher with Magic and Illusion as my area of specialty. The program culminates with a performance at the Queensland Performing Arts Centre. I have never officially had the teacher'tag' so I'll wear it with pride as long as I can. KITE Arts Education Program @ QPAC developed the Yonder Project to address the needs of students experiencing some of the highest rates of social exclusion in the State. The pilot project was delivered in 2007-08 and involved six schools. KITE teacher artists worked in classrooms with principals, teachers, students and guest artists to collaboratively develop theatre performances exploring issues of interest to their community. The creative development processes culminated in performances in which students explored complex ideas and expressed their understandings through performance to their family and school community. I feel this is very important work as most of these kids and their families will have probably never attended a theatre performance, let alone performed in one ... but then again, neither have I (in the true sense). I'll keep you posted. Aug 4, 2010, Julian's new Dental Awareness showI'm really excited to be launching the Happy Teeth show. This is a Dental Awareness show for Kindy, Prep, C&K and Childcare Centres. I present this show with Dr. Michael Cooke, who I've got to say is about the best dentist in Brisbane. We have been presenting this show for about 4 years but have kept it quiet to a select group of Brisbane C&K's. The messages promoted are so well received that we feel it is time is get the message out to more children. You'll see more on this soon. Happy brushing!

Well my story is a little different to most but it's laid out in my book called The Second Best Job in the World. In short, the world of magic seduced me to leave my former life as a globe trotting camerman. Check it out.... Apr 21, 2010, Added bonus for Secret Agent ShowWhen parents book my Secret Agent Show they receive a password to get them into the Secret Agent Name Generator. As the kids arrive for the party they find out their funny code name for the show. The kids get very excited announcing their new name and instructing the new arrivals on how to get theirs. 30 minutes that you don't even have to lift a finger to keep the kids entertained.

For those who don't I have written a child friendly book of tricks called The Little RED Book of Magic. It's suitable for 7yr olds and older. These are already proving popular.

Not yet mature enough to get the humour of adult shows but no longer little kids. This new show is tailor made for them so it's all about the TRICKS. That's what they want at this age. They want to be able to try and catch me out. So this show is packed full of my really sneaky stuff, my really difficult sleight of hand routines. 8 to 12 year olds LOVE this stuff. The show is based around the a story I have named THE CASE OF THE MISSING SECRETS. The kids get to role play the parts of the villians as they try to out smart me. I am looking forward enormously to doing these.
