A magician's diary
Thursday, April 06, 2006
Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin...I've been working on an act for a magic competition lately. Magic competitions are very odd things...lots of po faced men sitting staring at you with a unblinking eye knowing exactly how all the tricks are done. They are done at magic clubs which are even weirder, if you've seen fight club they bare kinda like the testicular cancer support group..right down to the orange juice and NICE biscuits. So you may be thinking why the hell do I want to enter...which is a good question. I'm not entirely sure.
At the weekend I was at the a golf course in Kingston for a 60th Birthday on Friday night and on Saturday I was at 88 St.James Street again for another Birthday do. A photographer called Brendan French took some wonderful photos at the event and some crackers of the money shot of head rocking back If you need some photos doing for weddings, corporate events in fact anywhere where their are suits and champagne contact him on brendan@graphittico.com. These will be on the new site which is codenamed Project Deathstar, my therapist says I take things too seriously.
Last Wednesday I was at the RSVP 2006 which is an events shows for folks who make events happen. There was loads of magicians and the usual turns you would expect like caricaturists and the chocolate fountain folks. I was there to check out the new acts and make a note of any that interest me. I have got a load of contacts in the events industry so if you want an independent view on an act or an entertainment solution send me an email...even if you dont book me!
Many of the magicians at RSVP 2006 were working on the stand of entertainment agencies some were skulking around trying to muscle in on clients and agencies where they weren't even booked, that is bad form. “you may remember me from such emails as can I join your books" dumb asses. A friend on an agency stand was performing for some important suits and when he finished amazing them this other magician just walked over and waltzed straight into a trick...the sly get.
Right I am off to hit my sky plus to catch up on 24.
