2012 London Bar-Hopping Meet (perform or just hang out?)

Postby Mr Grumpy » Jan 30th, '12, 20:31



I thought I'd start a new thread on this because going out with the intention of performing is somewhat different to going out to sit around bitching about -- and it would be on a different night of the week, perhaps at the weekend.

Personally, I'm up for going out with people who want to perform or people who just want to hang out, as long as they don't mind that the point of the meet is to go to several different pubs/bars.

I'm hoping to turn pro this year, so I need to start going out performing magic and mentalism as much as possible. Other people on here might want to come out for the same reason, or else just for fun and a chance to perform.

In my limited experience, the best places are the sort of pubs and bars where people stand and mill around rather than sit at tables, but we can experiment.

Before I ever tried walking up to a stranger in a pub or out in, say, Covent Garden, I always imagined most people would tell me to p*** off. When I tried it I found that in some environments at least 90% of people would pick a card.

So, if anyone's up for it, post on here and we'll sort something out.

As always, people are welcome to table hop before the Karnival of Kitsch starts, the next one is the 26th April.

Cool! You are free to table-hop before the show, during the interval and afterwards. I had some great comments about your magic last time, Laurence.

Anybody who wants to come to my London Leaving Do on Friday is welcome to practise some magic whilst they are there.

Bluu Bar in Moorgate from 18:00. My colleagues all like magic and it'd be good to see my magic friends for a drink before I return North.
