Excuse the pun. Just been super busy creating new products!


So its been a hugely busy, productive and creative time recently for me and Grum. I have been producing orders for clients from the website, bespoke made to order products, developing new products for the up and coming conventions and even recently had the opportunity to work with a few fun restoration products too!

I thought I would share some of the recent projects I have been working on and also give a sneak peak of what is coming soon! Hopefully I have managed to cater to all my clients out there, those magicians and the muggles too :)


Been busy working on and restoring a few lovely old leather bags like the one above from the late 1800’s. This was a challenge indeed but well worth the trouble as my client is now able to use the bag again after bringing it back up to its former glory with new handle, reinforced seams, repaired and new feet so the bag stands and all the extra little details.


My client was so happy he brought back several more items to be restored which I’m also enjoying working on such as this interesting restoration job above . Here I stripped the folder back to the core, buffed and polished the cover, retouched the paint work, had a new marbled paper commissioned to line the interior , added a new hand stitched leather spine and brought it back up to almost new again. The client liked the original hand writing which dates back to the late 1800’s which was revealed when we stripped the folder so we decided to make a feature of this also. Think it came out pretty well and so too does my client. That was an interesting project indeed :)


He also brought this lovely old blotting pad in which I thought was rather apt and magical too! I retouched all the woodwork, polished the brass work, restitched a new leather spine and added this new silk Moire lining in bright purple. What a table piece this is now :)

And for my fellow Magicians

I have been crazy busy preparing new products for all the exciting magic conventions coming up. The Magic circle Convention , IBM's Eastbourne Convention and the London Magic Convention. Hope to see many of you there too! Below is a sneaky peak at a few of the recent items. (Too many to share).

Not only is it easy to use and comfortable to wear but also frees up more pocket space too! These are made to order nut not yet on my site. If your interested then drop me an email and I can produce one for you.
