Hi
Been on the site for about 4 months now so everyone should know me.
Im 14 years old and ive been doing magic since i was 4. I started off with one of those Marvins Magic sets and my interest grew and grew.
I lost my interest when i turned 10 as it was no longer 'cool' to do magic. When i started secondary school i discovered that my music teacher was also a magician. He got my interest back and took me on tour several times which gave me the confidence to perform in front of people.
When i turned 13 i went to see the Bradford magic Circle's Hey Presto magic show and i decided that i wanted to join the group. I was told that it was near impossible to join as a junior but i was still invited for an audition.
I passed my audition and became the groups youngest ever member.
After joining the BMC i was getting regular shows and sometimes getting paid.
In july i did a show in Skipton Town Hall to raise money for the Alzheimers society and in the audience was the general manger of the Leeds City Varieties music hall.
He invited me to perform on the bill and i agreed.
2 weeks later i discovered that Jimmy Cricket, Gordon Kaye, Bobby Knutt and Jhonnie Casson were on the bill.
Since the show i have become great friends with jimmy Cricket and there was an article about the two of us in the evening post yesterday.


Thats my story.........what do you think

Demand more evidence of her affection - get her to paint the house, concrete the yard or something equally romantic!

She doesnt like getting her hands dirty though. I can think of many ways for her to show her affection to me and i'll do my best to return the favour

its been a long time, but is cleaning clothes legal for her to do, and i hope you are useing fabric sofener you dont want to end up gaining extra socks from the sock fairy do you.

anyway your definately on the right track with the celbs just remember that a brownnoser will fall at the first hurdle but a genuine friend with asparation's will get a leg up in the bussiness thats full of phoneys if you get my drift.

when you get famouse never forget that it was others that gave you your break even though you earned it on your own merits this will keep you on top when others have fallen off the precariouse pearch called fame.

also if you go into stage magic remember that its the box jumpers that do the work so keep them sweet, a head is no good if the body is unhappy.

do young women of today go to special glasses on money and how thats the only way men can show affection, no direspect intended but in my day we had several words for them bycycle clip weareres being one of them.

whats happened to walks in the park, picknick lunches, a spot of boating, reading tougether and such persutes on the cheep, thease days it seem's that if it hasn't got a doller value to it then its beneath them, why.

I'm old and dont obiousely understand the youth of today showing someone you care without spending oodles on diamonds is not the way today and i feel sorry for your generation because of it, now wheres my comfy chair and rag, i'll have my coffee now please nurse.
