Construction in our backyard

posted by Paul
construction siteIt appears as though the backyard of our temporary home at Century on Lake has become a construction site. I'm not sure what's being built - perhaps a shopping park or offices or maybe even another block of flats.

To give some perspective, right in the centre of this photo, in the distance, is the Ratanga Junction theme park. Slightly to the right (almost out of sight) is the temporary home of Madame Zingara's tent, "a place of sensual indulgence, baroque splendour and sheer fantasy". If you're visiting Cape Town, you really have to visit Madame Zingara's - it's quite an experience... and while you're there, say hello to Marcel, a friend, and the most awesome magician we know!

Hi,

The development is called "The Gateway", and will mainly be office space, as well as a large BMW showroom ;)

Hi Kerry & Paul!

After 4 years, I decided to "retire" from performing at Madame Zingara. While I'm EXTREMELY GRATEFUL for their friendship, support & exposure, I've decided to stop performing at restaurants. After 10 years of restaurant performances, my business is now growing phenomenally & I need the time in the evenings to get some sleep!

I now focus almost exclusively on performing for corporate events - although I do fit in some private functions. See more on www.corporatemagician.co.za !

Thanks for the link, your support is appreciated :)

- Marcel
