On Monday night my car was broken into :(by thieves looking for my sat nav (which they got) but they also took my entire children's show. Some of these items were personalised and very dear to me and some I won't be able to replace. Really this is a warning to all those out there as I'm sure we've all left things in our car but also if anyone does come across a roll on table (with Amigo's Magic on it - see attached picture) or a remote controlled snake I would be grateful if you could get in touch on 0777 023 1794 or via email through the website at www.amigosmagic.co.uk Reward offered.


Many thanks

You did a brilliant party for my daughter, Lilian, earlier this year and she is gutted about this theft. She plans to punch anyone she sees running around with your stuff.


Sorry to hear about these hassles and hope you soon over this nasty event.

That's such a shame, I'm really sorry you also had your magic stuff taken. It's worth looking through large bins at supermarkets, once I found a stolen suitcase nearby in one of those commercial bins, the thieves had obviously gone through the bag, found nothing of worth (ie electrical goods)and dumped it the nearest bin.


Good luck

There was a much bigger article in the South London Press which is where the Sun really got the info from it. I'm hoping that the Streatham Guardian will also run with it this Thursday as they have in their online edition. Links attached

I've now had a couple of calls from ED forum users asking if I'm still in business. The answer is yes I am and did my shows last weekend. I've built up a number of spares over the years and so this has helped and a couple of magicians have been very kind by giving/lending me things so this side of things is not a problem. Many thanks to those that have responded privately and on here with your kind words.

    • Has anyone found a car key fob in College Road SE21 or Dulwich Park?  Lost it at about midday Wednesday 17th December.  
    • An excellent point, ed. I reckon you could possibly get the cheese down to 75g per person depending on how many courses, the cheese media one is using and the accompiaments. A thicker biscuit can really increase the power of your cheese dollar. I'd also recommend putting all the last year's chutneys and pickles from the back of the cupboard in a single Kilner jar, adding a bit of malt vinegar and a grated apple, then attaching a hand written label saying 'Pikey's Pickle: Autumn 2025'.  It's not Megan Markle levels of domestic deceit, but it works every time. Pre-portioning cheese seems arbitrary, but I think acceptable when it's 20 people. It gives people an idea of how much a serving is, and negates the issue of somebody, normally a brother in law or cousin's new boyfriend, not taking their share of the rind. Remember, you're doing them a favour. Somewhere in the room there's an older family member who could see it and never forget. It's disinheritance stuff. It also gives rise to the great postprandial game of 'Cheese!' where guests can swap their share of cheese for another. Tastier than Monopoly and far less cardboardy, cheeses can be traded like currency or commodities. Hard and soft cheeses, dependent on their relative strengths, normally settle at close to parity but I've seen blue cheeses trade at less than half the price.  It's a Stilton lover's paradise, if you can hold your nerve.  Goat cheese lovers can clean up, but need to beware. As volatile as the 1970's Argentinian Peso, it's up and down like a bride's nightie.   I think I'll stick to Neal's Yard, then.
    • Another vote for The Cheese Block on LL but for 20 adults, you'd better be willing to pay a fair chunk of money or hope that they'll be happy with very small amounts of cheese! Other than that, supermarket or search online for a large Christmas cheese hamper and take your pick. For example: https://www.finecheese.co.uk/collections/christmas-selections-hampers (only mentioning them as we had a gift hamper, much smaller than a big Christmas one, from them a while ago and it was very nice). I'm sure there are other excellent options.
    • I think they still have a shop in Borough Market?? https://www.instagram.com/heritagecheeseuk/?hl=en-gb
