Nathan and I had a little staycation in Dubai this weekend. I had seen that the Swedish magician Joe Labero was having a few magic shows there, and after we had bought tickets to the show, we also decided to stay over in the same hotel where the show was.
We were lucky to get upgraded to a larger corner room!
Before the show we went for dinner:
And then it was time for the show, which was held in the Speak-Easy bar at the hotel. Only about 30-35 people fit into the room, so it was rather intimate.
We weren't allowed to take photos or film during the show, but Nathan ended up taking part in the show during one of the tricks, which was really fun.
I got a bit emotional at times, because many of the illusions he did were the same as my Dad used to do. Also, it had been quite a while since the last "last-day-of-summer-holiday-magic-show" (the magic shows my Dad would do for the kids every summer) and seeing my Dad do magic. But the memories came flooding back, with each familiar trick.
Sure, his sleight-of-hand wasn't the sharpest, and the humour was full of "Dad-jokes" (that Nathan appreciated more than me to be honest), but he created a fun atmosphere and we were certainly entertained and left smiling.
We enjoyed some room service before checking out and driving back home to Abu Dhabi. A nice little break!
