You'll like this... not alot

Tom was signed up for magic school this morning. Initial apprehension had given way to excited imaginings of his wizarding potential by the time we got off the 35.

And you'll never guess who turned up to teach the first few tricks...

Only Paul bleedin' Daniels.

I know.

Completely lost on all the kids obviously but it was funny to see the odd mum go a little red and say 'Lovely to meet you Mr Daniels. How are you finding Edinburgh?' It must have been an aura I was immune to... the same one that captivated the beautiful Debbie McGee I suppose.

Then... well a full performance at home complete with cape, background music and carefully arranged chairs followed by tumultuous applause.
