Grimsby Magician The Great Rodini
The Great Rodini - Grimsby Magician !
The Greatest Magician in Lincolnshire !
Having no job or career is proving troublesome. I am continually plagued by the
What do you do ?
Where do you work ?
Day off ?
Not at work today?
I was going to tell people I was a philosopher but I have now changed my mind
I am going to be a magician !
I have already mastered three tricks today alone. And, after writing this, will start scanning the internet for more magic card tricks.
Naturally, I shall need all the gear. I intend to wear top hat and black cape, red silk lined of course. I will also need suitable props and a glamorous assistant.
To complete the illusion (pathetic pun intended) I shall grow and wax a moustache.
Here is a rough idea of the basic look
Top hat and cloak being made at a leading Lincolnshire magicians tailor as we speak
A mock up of my glamorous assistants - I need one urgently but three long term
I have a potential engagement already - I am to be appearing as the warm up act for Stevie S at The New Empire this Friday night!
People of lesser courage would urge caution at this point.
This I understand, but wait till I wow the crowds with my rubber band trick! It’s super awesome!
What a show I hear you cry and indeed you are correct. Whilst that is enough excitement for the somewhat ageing crowd never let it be said that The Great Rodini leaves his fans disappointed.
I shall also be performing some close up magic - namely The Four Aces trick.
Ambitious I know, but if I want to gain access to The North east Lincolnshire Magic circle being bold is the order of the day.
I shall be available for hire to work in and around Grimsby, Cleethorpes, Horncastle and Lincolnshire.
So if you are looking to hire or book a magician call for

PS: Children’s parties are absolutely NOT catered for
PPS: Applications are now being taken for Hot Chick assistants - must be flexible

PPPS:
I have just been informed that my encore has been scratched from the fixture.
Apparantly, the headline artist attracts the more mature female crowd and the management felt that my White Eared Elephant impression as an encore may be too much for them.
Personally, I think Stevie S felt unable to follow it !

Rod, regardless of the outcome we are liking the idea of the outfit and will exect you to wear it at least once, for approval (we are of course referring to the magician number …. we’re not at all sure about this elephant thing!).
The local WI is looking for entertainment this Christmas ….. word is that they’re not interested in any Magician but might consider the W.E.E. impression!!! Be warned they’re a roudy mob so take a minder with you. WoE

Things have been dull on board lately. Archery and bulkheads don’t go together, subsquently I am without hobby temporarily (new vacancy has arisen for marine joiner). I could arrange to swing by in my old trapeze outfit to help out until the hot chicks arrive.
Must dash, am shark fishing for supper …. knew the ‘fishnets’ would come in handy! Urs

The WI is a notoriously tough gig WoE, I shall cut my teeth with close up magic in the more forgiving venues in and around Freeman Street Grimsby
Now there’s an offer !

If any hot chicks do apply for the job I have some spare time at present so I could interview them for you.
Send me their adresses and I’ll go round and take down their particulars!
Keep it Up !

Update:
I have now mastered a stupendous card trick
The 3 Amigos !
Once again I am pleased to say the day, thus far, has been pretty productive.
I would like to add some video clips to the site to spice things up a little.
But I don’t have a video camera nor, off the top of my head, do I know how to embed video into the site - so a slight setback
And, a massive disappointment for the legion of Great Rodini fans out there

Rodini,
In October I shall be hosting a party for the lesser royals of Europe, you know the usual crowd of spongers, …… can you fit us into your hectic schedule?
We’re not overly thrilled by the elastic band trick but wondered if there’d be any levitation?
It doesn’t pay as well as the WI gig but the drinks are free and you get to wear a sparkly frock ….. oh dear, I should tell you that they are expecting a female impersonator so you might want to rethink the moustache for now. You and Keira will have to share a cabin, will that be a problem? Urs

Ursula,
I shall only be operating as a leading exponent of the magical arts within the confines of Lincolnshire I am afraid.
I only ever seem to get into trouble when I venture outside the county.
That said, Keira may alter things.
I could share a cabin with Keira Knightley, by then I’ll have my magician’s trousers so I could surprise her by whipping something out !
I would not feel comfortable dressed as a woman, though, funnily enough, ladies lingerie may well be a feature of my act, and give it both a certain frisson and some uniqueness.
The rubber band trick becomes much more exciting when the rubber band is replaced by a hot babes’s thong !

Who said anything about leaving the country? No dear boy, I have alerted the Coast Guard who have agreed to clear the port (and possibly half the town) of Grimsby for the long awaited arrival of La Belle Tropezienne. Keira’s all for it … get in a bit of filming before offering herself for the old ’saw the woman in half’ thing with the Great Rodini. It’s the hottest ticket in town, which reminds me I must get that boiler fixed.
I shall, of course, be manning the yacht single handed. Well, almost, OMITK is providing canapes etc … not that he’s agreed to it yet but we’ll take it as a foregone conclusion. The Witches are standing by with firework display and the Formula 1 boys will be offering guests the ride of a lifetime, hope the decks can stand up to it. Who can ask for more?
Have bow-thruster, will travel. Urs

Ursula,
now you are talking - I may come and amaze you with my unique brand of close up magic featuring women’s lingerie !
My sleight of hand dexterity with a thong is something to behold
Sounds like a great party and an honour for the, soon to be, Greatest Magician in Grimsby, to be invited to
Sounds like something from Rod Damon’s CV !
Regards
The Great Rodini

Things are coming together nicely …. I’m going to put OMITK, Little Brother and Peter in a cabin with the troop of Chicago girlies, hope they don’t mind, it might be a bit of a squeeze …. steamy portholes etc etc.
Rod Damon has promised to procure the necessary lingerie since he’ll be sharing with the on board cosmetic wax technician (I’ve instructed her to bring the industrial size!). By the time the Grimsby Tatler turns up, we’ll all be plucked, tanned and radiant.
Anchor’s weighed, bunkers taken, passage planned and Humber Pilot booked, RAF boys standing by for refuelling en route. Over and out, Urs

I’d better start polishing my close up magic act up! Sounds like quite a night.
Hope I don’t suffer from stage fright !
Having Rod Damon within the confines of a boat with girls and ligerie sounds like a recipe for trouble !
Regards
The Greatest Magician in Lincolnshire

Ursula,
Regret to inform that only I will be attending, I told Little Brother’s Mother about the girls and now he’s grounded, as for OMITK I pretended to be a trainee chef who liked working unsociable hours so he’s still in the kitchen waiting to interview me. Don’t like to be underhand but I was concerned about those poor girls being too cramped!

Dear Rod,
John Gardner was “Gardini” and I was jokingly “Buzbeeni” and you are “The Great Rodini”? Right … will you please make sure my note gets to Alexis Walmsley? Magically? Best wishes, Jefferini
