I was never a fan of English language or literature when I was at school, but ironically, I now love writing. In 2020, I created my first blog and posted under the author name “Magic Seats” for a website with the same name with specialised in reviews of magic shows. To date, I’ve written around 1600 blog posts about magic.

In mid-2023, I wanted to explore writing blog posts beyond my interest in magic, without any restrictions on the topics that interest me. This led to the creation of “everythingelse.blog,” which has proven incredibly successful. At the time of writing, it has accumulated around 400 posts in total and magic is now featured as a section within this main site. This change makes management of all my current content easier to manage, as this site is like a magazine with a wide range of topics. I also hope that the “Magic Seats” section of this site will make magic show reviews and related content more accessible to a general audience.

​I live in the Midlands in the UK with my wife, daughter and family cat. I work in the area of logistics/customer service/IT for a successful UK developer.

My interests other than magic include reading, writing/blogging, lifestyle/fitness and time with my family. I am also in the early stages of writing my first book.

In Memory – Michael and Patricia Brophy

To my Mum and Dad who are sadly no longer with us.  I know that they would be both be proud of this achievement, creating and managing a blogging website(s).  My Dad would be less impressed but would secretly be pleased.  I can imagine him saying something like “What are you wasting your time on that for?”.  My mum would have been very proud also of my achievements, creating these sites and the opportunities that it has opened up.  She would most likely be wanting to get involved with my interest and would think it is hilarious that the young me who would not even open a book now enjoys writing.  Bless them both.  RIP.
