Sav London magician gets summoned to Saudi Arabia
27th February 2007
I found myself being summoned to Saudi Arabia to work at a huge VIP party in a 7 star hotel. I found myself working along circus acts and other two magicians Loki and Noel Qualter.
Saudi was a very different country with no alcohol being allowed and no women in many public places (i.e the event) It was great to perform for a sober audience for a change!
They also have a very strange view of my art, sometimes likening it to witchcraft! (I made sure to tell them it was just fast hands, to be on the safe side n.b.. see paragraph 15!) http://hrw.org/reports/1997/saudi/Saudi-03.htm
The event was attended by many of the Royal Family of Saudi Arabia and other dignitaries and businessmen. We were all made to feel very welcome and everyone I met really loved the ‘fast hands’ ; In fact had countless offers to return to ply my craft.
