Ok, that’s all the videos upto Friday uploaded. Will try and produce one or two more in advance tomorrow, but after that I’m away at New Wine Christian Camp for a week or so and won’t have any internet access. I’ll still be producing videos, but they won’t be online for a week or so I’m afraid - you’ll all just have to cope!
Actor's Depression...
Ok, before I start I should point out that this is likely to be the one and only emo-like topic I talk about here on this blog. Unlike everything else I discuss, this is incredibly personal and I can only really relate things from my own experience. So, given that pre-warning, lets begin…
I have suffered from Actor’s Depression for about as long as I can remember. For those of you...
The key to success - repetition?
Does constant repetition lead to success when it comes to physical activities? Is the ability to spend hours repeating the same few seconds of movement over and over again in search of perfection the key to success as a performer.
In my honest opinion, the simple answer is… YES! No question! But perhaps you’d like to understand my reasoning…

My past style of fast-paced, entertaining juggling is good and certainly not a style I want to throw away in a hurry, but there is certainly...
All up-to-date with videos now - should be back to uploading one a day for a while…
Have caught up with the videos I couldn’t post up whilst I was away, but am too tired to get todays online so there will be another two for you to enjoy tomorrow!
Am back visiting my folks for the weekend and I’m not able to edit any videos, but please be assured I am still filming them! Come Tuesday night, there will be 4 or 5 videos all going up at once so look forward to that! In the meantime, I might write another article as the last one seems to have gotten some good feedback…
24/7 Performer?
Can I get through life without doing a card trick or showing off some juggling? In other words, am I a person in my own right, or am I simply “A PERFORMER”?
This line of questioning has been running through my mind for many years, so I’ve taken the opportunity to put a few of my thoughts down in writing…
Often when I go for a night out to a party or wherever there is a...
