The pace is being taken over by the reds. Gah.

I am master of misdirection, look over there.

We are not falling out young Welshy, we are debating, I think farlsy is an idiot he thinks I am one. We are just talking about who is the bigger idiot.

These days I don't earn a lot of money through magic (but i have just joined a local magic/juggling agency type thing so here's hoping) but I do seem to "save" a lot of money by doing it. I can now easily go to a pub/bar/club and not pay for any drinks all night; and generally not through gambling, just show a couple of people a couple of tricks and they offer to buy me a drink, winning!

Good deal though there, little man. I'll have to see if I can do something similar this month, since I finish exams on monday and won't be able to get a job til about the start of august!

Making money from magic: Borrow a £2 coin from someone, do a couple of fancy flourishes followed by a vanish and go straight into a card trick without hessitating; and see how many people ask for that £2 back! I've only done this a handful of times and I've only had one person say "can I have my money back now please?"; for all the other folk I did actually give it back to them at the end, a couple of people just said "keep it, buy yourself a drink." (thinking about it, they didn't, but it was words to that effect, had they both said exactly that i'd be on to a winner)
