Darrington Sitch

The Secret History of Darrington Sitch In association with Idiots Videos

The Myth

Up until now very little has been disclosed as to the background of the enigmatic, traveling street magician Darrington Sitch as he felt it would add to the mystery of his art. However now his tour is being filmed for video and TV, public demand, and societies (the police and/pub landlords) apparent obsession with credentials and qualifications, he now feels it is time to allow his public some details.

Darrington Sitch was born on an undisclosed date, at what he only remembers as being a 'green hill'. As an infant he mysteriously disappeared for several years, and it is only now through regression therapy that he can tell us that during those years he was reared by a pack of wolves. At the age of seven his human family, a band of travelling trapeze artists rescued him and his career in magic began.

Following in the footsteps of his Great Grandfather the world famous pygmy juggler known only as Bob, Darrington spent the next thirty years studying the art of notmagic the school of thought that dictates that if you do not do something for long enough you can become great at it. Once achieving this level of greatness Darrington set off into the jungles of Borneo, (which he has always, believed to be his spiritual home), to entertain.

However, due to financial pressures and the lack of anyone in the jungles to watch him, Darrington has now hit the streets of Britain, with his own inimitable style of street magic, for your enjoyment.

The Fact

After discovering that a few simple magic tricks can make you incredibly popular at parties, Darrington decided to dedicate the entire next three weeks to learning the mystical art of magic, and after a few lessons from a drunk bloke in his local pub, he set off to entertain himself, fellow drinkers and an extremely dodgy cameraman named Lil.

After much effort and many beers, the main lesson Darrington has learnt, is this:
"Performing dodgy magic tricks in close proximity to large quantities of alcohol can lead to seriously getting your head kicked in."
