    "I was halfway down the M1 when they found him, still alive luckily.......needless to say they never re-booked me....."

    “I want TWICE what you get,” he grabbed my Elvis lapels. “Or the world finds out you’re a FAKE!”

    “I’m going to pull off the biggest heist of my career, and YOU’RE going to do one of the biggest illusions the world has seen…”

    Born out of an ongoing email joke between bandmates, When the Magic Went Wrong brings together a series of unfortunate incidents from Ian Button’s (presumed) fictional past life as a struggling magic act - the anagrammatically named Toni Tubna. These short confessional tales relate some of the disastrous, often terrifying episodes and mishaps from that murky past, and are delivered in a style that is part Alan Bennett monologue, part witness statement under pressure, and part letter to Viz, complete with some of the most appealing traits of bad amateur fiction: leaps of imagination, unlikely peril, clear impossibilities, and obvious utter lies.
    Fay 'Sta-Presto' Hallam's wonderful miniature illustrations punctuate the stories.

    SECOND EDITION 2022 - re-titled and with dark green title panel/artwork.

lyrics

CLASH OF MINDS

Barrington Small (or Daniel S. Paul),
Hypnotic mystic - the darkest of all.
Dressed in his cape, at the dawn of nightfall -
Looking like he’d come from a masquerade ball.
Barrington Small.
Looking like he’d come from a masquerade ball.

A cat, a cathedral, or just a football,
If I drew a picture, he’d make it go small -
Too hard to decipher the miniscule scrawl.
He’d do anything to bring about my downfall.
Barrington Small.
Yeah, he’d do anything to bring about my downfall.

A clash of minds!
Marvel at the miracles of mesmerism!
Two of a kind!
Death defying feats of hypnotism!
Head to head!
Unnatural displays of magnetism!
Just me and him - this time it’s personal!

Barrington Small put up a brick wall -
Whatever I tried, couldn’t get through at all.
The crowd were enthralled by this last curtain call -
A battle of minds in the Old Music Hall.
Barrington Small.
A battle of minds in the Old Music Hall.

He started to bawl at the end of our brawl -
He started to shrink, then he started to crawl.
My nemesis could no longer stand tall -
And that was the end of Barrington Small.
Barrington Small.
And that was the end of Barrington Small.
