DAVID REGAL is a writer and magician living in LA. He is the author of the critically acclaimed book Approaching Magic, in addition to the best-selling Close-up & Personal, Constant Fooling (Volumes 1 and 2), and was the subject of Star Quality – The Magic of David Regal written by Harry Lorayne. An alumnus of the Main Company of the comedy group Chicago City Limits, Regal is a television writer who has written for shows ranging from Rugrats to Everybody Loves Raymond.

David has performed at the Magic Castle literally hundreds of times, where he was named a trustee, and is a recipient of the “Lecturer of the Year” award from the Academy of Magical Arts. Regals performing style is hilariously funny and his capability to build comedy into his presentations showcases his ability as both writer and performer.

In 2008, Regal was the winning magician/coach on the television series Celebra-cadabra. Tricks of his design are performed around the world. He is a principle reviewer for both Genii Magazine and newly formed Reel Magic DVD magazine where his comic reviews are the highlight for many watchers.

I have been trying to tempt David To Australia for almost 10 years; it is only due to the date change that he is able to make it this time around. I make no secret that I booked David because he's one of my favourite Magicians. Trust me, he'll soon be one of yours.

PAT FALLON

Pat Fallon is an Irish magician with an international reputation. For more than 20 years, Pat has performed around Ireland, the UK and Europe for some of the biggest corporate events and along with Ireland's biggest TV and music stars. In 1995, Pat was the first non-British act to win to the British Magical Championships and since then, his international reputation has bloomed with appearances at conventions and magic clubs around the globe. In 2003, the Magic Circle bestowed on Pat their highest honour, making him Gold Star Member of the Inner Magic Circle.

Pat is truly a master of all magic trades. His stage act features manipulation, livestock and grand illusion, not to mention interactive comedy segments all delivered with a charming Irish brogue. Away from the stage, Pat is just as confident as a strolling close-up worker, trade show magician and kid's show entertainer. Pat's newest release, "Magic for Older Children" has been a great success. Pat will be lecturing in the finer points of this lucrative area of business. Pat's close-up is no-nonsense commercial material and I know you will all get material you can use.

With over 80 TV appearances, Pat Fallon is without doubt Ireland's most successful and best known magician. I have known him personally for over 20 years and I'm delighted to finally be bringing him down under.

DEAN ATKINSON

Dean Atkinson hails from London and after a stint in Sydney now makes his home in Melbourne. Dean grew up with Davenports Magic Shop, International and the London magic scene. In between his work as an actor, (With many Australian TV series to his credit) Dean has carved out a successful career as a corporate entertainer. He is a talented and highly skilled close-up worker, has some strongly theatrical twists on stand-up magic and is a talented and funny ventriloquist.

Dean will soon be seen on screen as a competitor on Australia's Got Talent. With our friends Soul Mystique paving the way, its clear that a run of the mill magic act would need something more. Expect to see Dean as a ventriloquist with his unique take on the human dummy. Beyond that he's got some more tricks up his sleeve so we wish him well.

Dean is another true all-rounder who knows how to operate 'in the trenches' You can look forward to some honest and useful advice as well as tricks which pass the test of practicality. Dean is a friend and I'm delighted that he has agreed to be part of Superday.
