For our Fletcher Memorial Lecture we are very excited to announce we have Bertie Pearce!
Bertie trained in Drama in Manchester and Paris. He started out with a summer season in Jersey followed by two pantomimes and then four years working on Cruise ships. This led to his theatre show “All Aboard” which played at the Bridewell Theatre in London. He also performed in the show “A Spoonful of Magic” at The Polka Theatre, Wimbledon and “The Wonders of The World” in the Brighton Fringe Festival. He has worked with his sister Boo which led to the creation of the Bertie and Boo cafe in Balham. Since 2008 he has been an accredited Arts Society Lecturer touring Europe with his entertaining lectures, sharing his passion for Magic, Theatre, Charles Dickens and Punch and Judy. He will perform his lecture “Wonder Workers and The Art of Illusion - The History of Magic” while talking about the tricks he performs and sharing stories of his life as a performer. The highs and the lows.

Daniel Dorian Johnson
MEMENTO MORON is a lecture in two parts, brought to you by the creator of “The F.A.S.T Project”, “ICE-BERG” and “MY SLICE”.
Daniel has been performing and creation magic for more than 20 years, for the last 15 years they have made their living as a street performer and this lecture brings forward the combined knowledge and creativity learned working for some of life’s hardest audiences.
Part 1 will focus on practical mentalism!
No pipe dreams, anagrams or psychological forces here, just hard hitting effects that are easy to perform and work for a variety of situations from close up to stage.
Part 2 will dive into Daniel’s work on the street!
We will breakdown every aspect of the “World Famous Three Ball Trick” Daniel’s original handling of the venerable Cups and Balls, including a couple of new approaches to outdated moves, then we open up to a completely honest discussion on street performing! This is your opportunity to ask anything and everything you’ve ever wanted to know about the world of the busker, the good, the bad and the ugly is all on the table, all you have to do is ask.
Along the way you will hear entertaining stories about the trials, tribulations and misadventures that Daniel’s work has thrust upon them, and walk away with knowledge and maturity that will survive you well!
