I'm not learning solely in an instructors car, that would be mad!

so you're on the road and not always with an instructor

Well tomorrow looks like its going to be a belting turn out all told so get your name down, don't be shy we'll see you tomorrow.

We'll be the ones with jackets on a sunny day, a bowler hat in one case and plenty of decks of cards on the table

Well, I think I was the only one that came back with a complete deck of cards tonight

Nice to see everyone, was a good night as always

I stayed indoors with a lovely migraine yesterday. I was severely miffed at missing out.

It was certainly a good day.

I got home safe and sound eventaully. I followed Keiran's advice and made over £30 on the train coming back drunk football fans mostly.

It has to be said Age, you do get alot meaner to the audience the more you have to drink.

eg.
Spec: I only said I'd get you a drink
Age: Well go on then.
Age: You f***ing tight b*****.
Age: is he always this tight?

Still a good day. I met some people I never knew existed, and I was finally talked into getting coinvexed - as soon as my first pay check comes through.

it was said much more light heartedly than that though

Plus he paid up.

And a first for a meet, someone got a direct booking!

It's defo the place to go after match day, loads of people I spoke to had come from the united game and at least 3 groups had been in the boxes.


Had a great time anyway,

Geekiness, free drinks, quazi successful flirtation, gasps of amazement, constant upstaging by a drunken Agecroft, business cards handed out, booking got, train missed, sofa slept on, sofa owners wife/gf miffed, arrive home comatose.

best saturday night out for ages, and bizzarely, considering it was a magic meet, the most normal saturday night out content wise.

if i hadn't been damn near crushed to death on the return train by an army of semi shaved monkeys singing man city songs it woulda been a total success.

No Tomo tho. ONLY way that book of yours is going on my cups list is if i see it live in action. migraine, weak excuse, Age drank till he was blind and STILL carried on performing

Who talked you into getting coinvexed?

Was it me? I can't remember?

I wasn't as drunk as that time at the London Meet, its the free beers I tell you. Very danergous

It was actually the cheapest meet I've had out in ages and a belting time. As you said, very normal and the people are great.

Anyone up for another one in about a months time?

I'll have to think about coming again. It is a long way, but it think its worth it. I wont have as much money next time, so I'll be working for my drinks and my meal.

I thought you swearing at the specs. was hilarious, but I did wince occasionally.

He got even worse after you left crozboz

And he's also bad at making people buy coinvexed. He also talked me into buying it too

He can make someone buy mine then! ha!

My first time at one of these free-for-alls. What great fun it was! I'll come better prepared next time, now that I know what to expect.

I think we all talked each other into getting Coinvexed after seeing it in action. By the way, how much hand strength does it require? (Cos I'm rather a wimp when it comes to grippiness.)

erm very subjective,

you can try mine out the next time if you can wait till then (IB)

And how you going to come better prepared? Pickle your liver for a month


Good to meet you Robbie and coinvexed is awesome.

Well, I came prepared to drink and chat, but not with any tricks at my fingertips. But I did enjoy watching and learning. I'll have something ready to go next time.

For what it's worth, my sleep was very disrupted Saturday night because I kept dreaming about people doing magic tricks in pubs.

I worked out that I did a grand total of 4 tricks the entire evening but for lots of different groups, I came back with 33 cards from a full deck and 8 of those are signed so I must have been busy.

PS next day anyone?

I can't do the 18th but free for any after that
