Parking the car across from The Magic Circle, we dashed into the Euston Station Tube and raced over to Davenport's Magic Shop, one of the oldest magic shops in England. Here I am with the head of Harry Potter:
The London Eye was built for the Millenium Celebration along the Thames River just before the House of Parliament and Big Ben. It's a giant wheel with pods that hold about 15 people. It takes 1/2 hour to go all the way around. You get to see a beautiful view of London. A must see. Some James Bond chase scenes in the river were filmed in this area. 
As you come down to end your ride, the eye snaps a photo.
Lots of performance artists in the park around the Eye. Lots of statue imitators and guys like this:
After the eye we were off to a London comedy club in the West End. Comedians were very good and their comedy had some intelligence to it. Well read performers who honed their words carefully. We were in the front row so of course there was , "where are you from?...America?" Two minutes of jokes about America and Bush. Then, "what do you do for a living? " ... " I'm a magician." You know what happened next. I'm glad to offer fuel for their comedy.
Back on the tubes (subways) to the car only to find the driver window smashed. Nothing stolen but glass everywhere! Off to bed for my radio show tomorrow.
