A few updates from Keiths site.

Keith has recently been awarded with a Merlin award for ‘Mentalist of the year 2009′, which as you can imagine, is a fantastic recognition.

As Keith continues to break new ground with his live and television work, the International Magicians Society has rewarded his hard work and innovation with a ‘Merlin Award’, the Oscar of the magic world, for “Mentalist of the Year 2009”. Pictured here with a delighted Keith is Tony Hassini, President of the IMS, presenting the Award.

On Sunday, Jan 18th, Keith was surprised in front of 1,250 people during one of his live shows in the Olympia Theatre in Dublin when his manager Eamonn Maguire interupted his live show to announce that he had won the award. Eamonn then introduced Mr. Tony Hassini, President of the International Magician’s Society, who presented Keith with his award. Keith was totally delighted and honoured to receive the Award. 1,250 people gave Keith a 5 min Standing Ovation while he posed for photos and was completely overwhelmed by their reaction. Keith was slightly speechless before thanking his Manager, Eamonn Maguire for believing in him from the start, his Chief Magic Consultant Joe Hoey for his dedication and his family for their full support over the years especially his wife Mairead who always pushed him to succeed.

Keith has also announced a new Irish tour. Details can be found on his home page
