The Laurel and Hardy Tribute Act were absolutely wonderful mixing with passengers, providing non stop close up magic all day every day .and all in character. Some of the reactions to their skills produced the best photographs, especially from the dance team leader who could not believe what she saw happen with her very eyes. A magical moment to treasure . I believe there are one or two pictures on Rob Grahams Facebook file" Based in Southport, England (160 miles from Edinburgh) David Whittam - cruise entertainment Photo of Scoop Magic Scoop Magic "Brilliant entertainer."
