I was asked to create a JOSEPH DREAM COAT with comedy sleeves for no less than James Corben for the Late Late Show . They were filming his musicals on the zebra crossings in the centre of London ! but had only 3 days !!! so the Check Events team rolled up their sleeves and made the costume and it worked fantastic ! I spent the day filming as I had to roll up the fabrics the vast coat in small bag... and re set the comedy arms .. It was a interesting day watching everyone at work... ! how filming has changed... so many more people involved than the old days !!

write up on High Jinx !
A Blackpool magician was among the artistes showcasing Britain’s status as an events’ destination at a glittering international gala. Michael Jordan’s High Jinx show, which runs at Viva Blackpool throughout the year, was one of the acts taking part in the launch of MeetGB - a VisitBritain conference aimed at encouraging overseas firms to host their major corporate events in the UK. The gala night took place at Church House, Westminster Abbey. It was directed and choreographed by former Pleasure Beach artistic director Antony John and also featured Blackpool circus artiste Valerie Murzac. Michael, from Huddersfield, is back in Blackpool with his High Jinx family magic show for the seventh year. “It was an incredible show to be part of,” he said. “I’ve done a lot of big corporate jobs before but this was a different level. “The whole idea of the event was to tell big companies that they can and should have their big corporate days and events in Britain instead of going abroad to places like Dubai.
