In this part of magic travels I will cover what I took away from my travels. In Spain partially many people remarked on the simplicity and the fact I just did magic there and there with things around me. Also in reinforced that magic is just another way to communicate with people.
In India it thank people for their help and hospitality. A guy in a photo copy shop took great care to copy and bind some resources for me. And once we paid he knew they were for the project so he said a prayer over them. So in return I did Crazy man handcuff with two of his bands. He loved it.
The routine Staples of modern conjuring is something I am quite proud of. It great fun and easy to follow. It got comedy and some very magic moments in it. Also it all fits in a very small box and easy to carry. In fact it could be made from scratch in a afternoon with a visit to a dollar store. And I did it as my audition piece for Brother Hood Of Auckland Magicians
When walking in Spain I saw lots of butter flies and I want to do a routine about them and my journey. It be a bit like sands of Indian by Just Alan. This routine also made more sense after I travelled on a sleeper train in India.
So with a full note book of ideas to work on. Were now in New Zealand were Emily is from and were running a company called Science In A Van. Ill up date more as we go.

Magic travels :Part 2
In India we volunteered for an education project in Delhi. I took a few extra bits with for a routine called the staples of modern conjuring which is simple to follow and great fun it contains. A appearing cane, Fibre optics, egg bag routine and a 6 card repeat. With a basic costume and my top hat this was very handy. I did routines at the 3 centres for groups of kids. We stayed with the founder of the project and her family they were very hospital and had lot of guest visit and they all got a magic trick. We were there for Diwali so staple of modern conjuring came in handy again.
Once finished at the project we left to go to Jodhpur. This beautiful blue city is a wonderful place. While we were there me and my wife took a walk up and through an area which was of the tourist track and was just were people lived. It was very close and many nook and cranny’s. We past a group of women sitting on the street side watching kids play. My wife smiled at a group of girls playing hop scotch. They got her to have ago. People came out to watch. I then did a basic sponge star routine with a purse frame. They loved it. The video attached is only a small bit of what I did but check out the girls face. No shared langue but we all knew what was going on.

As we was about to leave our great hostel we realised that the young boy of the owners was not well. A motor bike ran over his bare foot the day before. So again a purse frame came in handy a couple of coin vanishes then four rupee coin production. It made him feel a little better.
