Marcel Oudejans performing live

Marcel Oudejans enthralled us with a live magic show at the Playhouse Theatre in Somerest West last night. While Marcel is well known in the corporate circuit, this is the first time I have seem him doing a stage show, and it is the first magic show that I have seen in years.

The show was great. While some of the tricks are just good old magic fun, some of them still have me wondering (so just how did he manage to guess that girls age, and how did he bend a fork that was inside a sealed bag that he was not even holding?). If you seem him doing a show again, go along and see it, it is a lot of fun. (Or just hire him for your corporate gig).

By the way, he is speaking at Peninsula Toastmasters club on 30 June, so maybe you want to come along then?

 

Magic Tree at Kirstenbosch

Share

A few years ago, a Yellow wood tree in Kirstenbosch Gardens split in half during a storm. The team at Kirstenbosch simply filled the gap with soil, left the tree and hoped for the best. If you look at the picture below, you can clearly see the split in the middle.

The amazing thing is that the tree just continued to grow, and is quite happy and healthy. Amazing what nature can do, isn’t it.

So, now the tree is known as the Magic Tree, because to survive what it went through must have been magic!
