Hello my lovelies. Many of you have seen me read minds before, cards and such, but my powers have grown. See me predict a passage from an ordinary book merely thought of by a spectator. Watch as I divine which one of three coins you will select and what side it will land on. Except [...]

Has Lord Bennington gone sour?
April 1, 2010 – 1:35 pm
Lemons have a habit of popping up at my shows, but lately it seems more than one illusion has gone sour.
Worse yet, these are no ordinary lemons. Something is in them. I’m hesitant to share more, lest I scare you away from the show! Come to the performance on April 24, if you dare. [...]
Bennington delights and deludes Girl Scouts
February 28, 2010 – 8:01 pm
I had the honor today to entertain the young ladies of Girl Scout Troop 254 at Camp Mariposa in Altadena. And what ladies they were! Well-behaved, yet quick-witted, they entertained me nearly as much as I entertained them — not to mention what outstanding volunteers they were.
There was one unfortunate incident, involving disappearing milk [...]
Lord Bennington Back at Peet’s Pasadena
February 16, 2010 – 8:28 pm
Hello my lovelies. After taking some time off to mourn the loss of my dear mum, I’m back and ready to dedicate all of my 2010 shows to her memory. Mum took great delight in my magic. She will be greatly missed, both as a fixture at my shows and as a wonderful foil [...]
Lord Bennington Levitates on October 24
October 11, 2009 – 8:29 am
That’s right, bleedin’ levitation. Mind you, I’m not sayin’ what I will levitate. It could be the fabulous Betsie. It could be a playing card. It could be something I borrow from one of you.
Lord Bennington Plays Peet’s Like a Well-Worn Stradivarius
September 8, 2009 – 7:49 pm
I suppose all Stradivariuses are well worn, but it sounded better than a cheap fiddle.
For those of you who came to our earlier shows, we highly recommend a return trip to Peet’s. His Lordship has indeed found his groove there, and though there are still some old favorites in the show (“no, no, that’s a [...]
Make a Commitment to Yourself: See Lord Bennington
July 17, 2009 – 2:59 pm
What’s all this then! We’ve got lots of bloody “maybe will attends” on our facebook page, but maybe won’t pay the bills (or the loan shark for that matter). Think of yourselves Darlings. Make a commitment. Think of the 7th Habit of Highly Effective People: Sharpen the Saw. You need balance in your life. [...]
His Lordship storms Peet’s July 25th
June 30, 2009 – 5:19 am
Our residency at Peet’s has been a smashing success! Join us for either the 5:00 p.m. or 7:30 p.m. show this coming July 25th. Hear Lord Bennington tell the tale of losing all but his shirt and hat to the demur card shark Queen Elizabeth II. Learn of Matilda, the miraculous hen from a Canterbury [...]
A Sweet Father’s Day at the Silverado
June 28, 2009 – 2:12 pm
It is always a great pleasure for us to perform for our surrogate grandparents at the Silverado in Alhambra, CA. We had a great turnout of both residents, staff and family members. Samantha, pictured above, mysteriously moved magic sponges from one hand to another and out of a pocket to under a cereal bowl. As [...]
City of Hope Pediatrics Picnic – an honor to perform
June 6, 2009 – 6:39 pm
It was a great pleasure to perform today for the City of Hope Pediatrics Picnic. The children and young people there were simply delightful and considerin’ that they threw no rotten fruit at yours truly, they seemed to have a rollicking good time.
Though rarely humbled,
