Behind The Scenes
April Events Didier Agueh Executive Host and Artistic Director
M
Spring has always fascinated me, people start to dust themselves off from the Winter blues and we begin to brighter colours emerge. It’s time to start enjoying the outdoors again and to visit what London has to offer. As a proud ambassador of my home country I would recommend in April two great exhibitions. The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier, London’s first major exhibition devoted to France’s most rebellious designer at the Barbican Center also. The Cut Out exhibition devoted to Henri Matisse’s paper cut-outs at Tate Modern from April 2014. In April we will see the streets of London filled with runners from around the world jogging for their respective charities at the London Marathon, it is a true spectacle and not an event to miss out on. This season I am delighted to introduce two new concepts on Fridays such as “Kind Of Magic” a magic show mixed with various other types of entertainment every first Friday of the month and secondly a very entertaining ‘Indeedy Musical Bingo’ where the audience will need to participate to win great prizes. Enjoy your Spring and we look forward to seeing you soon.

Later on, when I was much older, I managed to get a job as a demonstrator in a magic shop and
as a demonstrator in a magic shop and then soon after I started doing magic professional. How would you define your style? My magic is heavily influenced by music and dance and I always try and incorporate these elements within my performances. I describe it as ‘slight of hand‘ sprinkled with some hip-hop flavour. What is the concept of “KIND OF MAGIC”? Kind of magic is a fun packed night featuring some of the best up and coming talents within the magic scene. But it also includes other performers such comedians, beatboxers and even hoola hoop artists.
