John Irvine - Making Magic

11/09/2024

Some really great progress towards my magical £1000 mark - thank you everyone for the support so far!

£75 to go to get me to the grand...although I still won't shut up about it till I'm done 😂

Can you help?

Much love, Jx

Hey everyone - it's now just 5 days until I take on the Kiltwalk, supporting My Name'5 Doddie Foundation.

Approx 12-14 miles...dressed as a ghostbuster!

I'm £165 away from hitting £1000 and I'd absolutely love to smash through that barrier!

Please, please, if you can sponsor me...even a fiver - it would be incredible and it's going to help us get to a world free of Motor Neurons Disease!

So - having attended Spire today the saga continues.. There's lots affecting the pain - from tight calf muscles, to gout, to arthritis, and my collapsed arches.

Apparently the tight calf muscles and the mechanical issues are causing the ankle itself to be caught in an almost nutcracker like motion - hence the agonising pain. Adding in the arthritis and the gout basically acting like sand in a drum around the ankle...you get the picture.

So...

Under consideration of advice and being told I'm a fu***ng idiot...I'm going to decrease my walk from Mighty Stride to Big Stroll. Drops about 7 miles off the walk.

I'm disappointed, but it's this or realistically face having to drop out part way through.

HOWEVER - to up the ante in return - I will now be donning my proton pack for the walk. Adding another 10Kg of weight (that's a stone and a half!!)

So please.. Please consider sponsoring me. I'm now trying to hit £1000...meaning I'm 61% of the way there.

Prepping for a gig at a kids party tomorrow... Only my second time doing a kids Birthday Party...and what I'd regard as my first "Party Booking"

These kids are all between 3-5yrs old really.

I'm terrified 😂

But even harder than that overcoming my nerves has been the prep for this trick...turning a load of wrappers into actual Celebrations... *must resist eating more*

Wish me luck!!

Fife pals... I'm pondering some new ink...

Sleeve on right forearm, based around the pips on these playing cards... Building in different themes and things from magic... Cards, die, poker chips, coins etc etc...

Been to plenty studios, but open to recommendations of particular artists to reach out to

Sadly... No photos or videos from tonight...but...tonight...

I mangled the minds of my co-workers with routines from , , , , and some of my own twists on some utter classics.

I also met the owner and his fiancée, who are planning on marrying on Islay, when he's stopped opening new bars - told them, pay fory travel/accom and I'll entertain your guests for free 😂

The thing is... Tonight I said "no... I'm not drinking. I'm not staying out. I've been up since half 5, I need my bed.

It's quarter to 1 in the morning, and I'm running the bath in my hoteo room, having just got in 😂😂

Great night though!

What's not shown here, is me showing a ring, French dropping it, and then Floki turning his back with disinterest 😂

Next time it will be with dog treats (but today he's had a wee upset tummy because he ate a w**d in my sisters garden...) so couldn't tease him like that.

James - The Headless Magician made the "wall of cool s**t" at !

If you haven't seen me do this before, I draw a stick figure, then magically remove his head to the corner of the card!

It's an effect/presentation that he kindly shared with me, and the reactions are absolutely fantastic!

Back there again tonight - wonder who my Voodoo doll will transform into tonight... Who's getting double crossed, will they work out who murdered Frank, and will they believe the needle?

Shameless repost of my favourite picture from the event... If you were using this as promo material, which quote would you use?

As always, pm me to discuss bookings!

Wee test to see if a normal post, or a Reel, gets more attention...

As promised.. Here's the video that got "that facial expression" 😂

So many dirty minds...

PM me to discuss booking me for events!

My favourite quote of the night - "You have broken my husband" 😂
