    "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

TALISMANO

Prospero and Antonio,
Brothers beneath the sea,
Carved by the niece
Of the King of Naples,
Rescued, and lost again by Shelley.
This fair woman of Sorrento
Did find
Entwined, the Gemelli.

One good, one bad -
A Talismano cursed.
Damned are those unknowing souls,
Yet blessed is he who is versed
In the knowledge of the Gemelli,
Their power,
This hour, reversed.

Fortune brings her just reward,
Whilst fate deals a bitter hand.
Talismano, Talismano!
The Dance of Death, his Sarabande;
What evil lies in that embrace?
The twins
Your sins command.

Thanatos delivers the tainted prize,
Crushing another in his stride.
Earthly riches bestowed
With balanced carnage abides.
The Gemelli Maledetti
In wealth and
Ill health reside.

Only fire can break the spell,
Invoke the Talismano’s name.
Set alight that first reward -
The twins are also set aflame.
Over and done with -
No more war!
No more shall they proclaim.
