Drinks, Food and Magic

Was out today catching up with a good friend I haven't hanged out with for almost a year properly till today. It was about time we caught up with each another.

We talked about whats current in our lives and whats been getting us down, which for me it was related to work. Having to deal with horrible people and thieves and the mental impact its starting to have on me.

For my friend it was more about family stress and issues, which I won't go into any details about as its not my life and its not my place to be stating other peoples person lives on my blog.

We were having a few drinks in Moon Underwater (Montagu Pyke - Chain of the JDwetherspoon Company) as it was known back in the days when we used to venture there in our troubled youth.

We then moved onto 'VIET Pho' My friend's friend restaurant. 'VIET Pho' is a really nice and quaint Vietnamese restaurant just around the corner from Moon and very close to Chinatown. The food was gorgeous very tasty, well prepared and presented.

I loved the decor so much I made comments on it quite a few times. I loved the symmetry and the use of white, red and grey colours. The Lighting was well placed as well. If you have never been I would definitely recommend it specially if you enjoy Vietnamese cuisine. The Restaurant is highly recommend by others and has great reviews (supporting links and address at the bottom).

During are time there it came to closing time. Seating with my friend's friends and after few late introductions I notice one person was playing with cards in his hands. There was something about him, he was admitting a very powerful but unusual aura. I was intrigued and I asked show me some magic tricks not even knowing if he could. It just felt like he could. This is the moment I met Calen Morelli.

Calen Morelli is a magician that has worked for David Copperfield, David Blaine, Theory 11 and of course Paper Crane, all well known.

It's one thing to see magician on TV specially after watching Dynamo last month but seeing it in person was amazing, shocking and incredible.

Calen is in London from American working and I felt blessed he honoured us with some magic tricks. Made my whole night. I wish I had brought my SLR out with me. Truly awesome guy with a bright future ahead. Below I have added some vids I took of Calen performing for us. Enjoy;
