Sorry, been away a few days. Gary, let me know what you need/prefer if you do manage to come and I'll see what can be preliminary arranged. As for the mike, I have a radio headset mike. I'll check with the pub regarding speakers and amp.

Having seen some recent comments I think that I will get the Wakefield newspaper to say that 'numerous magicians will be attending to support this charity event' and then let them do another article the week after regarding those that came. Then I don't commit to particular performers.

BTW, I'm not the event organiser, that's the pub landlord. I'm just helping to provide some magic entertainment and performing practice for fellow magicians to build up their experience.

I know what you mean Lozey. It's almost as if these people don't realise we have lives outside of work.

Sam (our manager who is a very nice woman) is going to have a word with Barry to see if something can't be worked out. To be honest, it's not his fault really. Other people have booked that weekend off but his attitude really bugged me. Hopefully Sam will be able to work some magic of her own!

Hi Tenko, a headset sounds good! I was thinking of affecting a limp and using a walking cane for the day. The only thing that was puitting me off the idea was the possibility that I would be holding a mic and have no free hands. If I had a headset, though...

Also, I was wondering if I could have a piece of music played before the start of my set? The piece would be Spiegel im Spiegel by Arvo Part, a contemporary Estonian composer. It's a lovely piece for a violin and piano. It's about eight minutes long, so this would push my set to half an hour. There won't be anything happening while the music is playing. The idea is to provide a space that signals that something strange, and hopefully beautiful is going to happen. Also, I want to provide a space that separates what I do from what has gone before.

I hope that doesn't sound arrogant, or too strange. I'm happy to discuss it in further detail if you're unsure about it.

I must say, I'm really quite excited. I've not done a mentalism set before. Speaking of which, I've been having fun playing with Between the Lines and Being There (the example effect provided with Sensory Projection by the Underground Collective). Both are very good, although BTL seems to be easier to pull off because people make some funny connections with movies. If you get Sensory Projection, you'll know what I mean.

Gary,

Do you have the bit of music ??

Tenko, yeah, I've got it on CD.

OK, Gary,

Be in touch.

I'm still on for this if that's ok!

Also I've got my mate to agree to come along as well as a performer if that's ok?

I was happily informed I had read this wrong over the weekend. I'll be there, i'll bring my standard kids juggling workshop kit along.
do we have a Confirmed list?

Sorry everyone, due to unforseen circumstances this event has been postponed until July. The landlord is away on holiday but when he comes back I hope to get a definitive date and will post it as soon as I know.

I appreciate that July hits into the summer holidays and will make it more difficult for some to attend but I'll keep you posted.

Thank god for that,

I was reading through the last 3 pages getting slowly more jealous, as Im busy this coming weekend, and was considering how best to get out of it.

If needs must, we could always combine the Leeds meet with a charity fun-day! Just a thought.

Alas, if it turns out being the same day as the ferrybridge day of magic - there may be trouble - but otherwise, till further notice, count me in! (Regardless of the date - summer holidays makes it harder for some - but a hell of alot easier for others!)

Is he going to give us a date before he goes away? If he comes back early july and sets a date for a weeks time, its going to make things difficult!

Lauren,

He's away at the moment. I'll be calling in Tuesday all being well. As soon as I know anything I'll post it.

Any more news on this Tenko?

Mic'd I think...

Hi all,

On Tuesday the landlord had just got back from his holls and hadn't had time to think of the new date but assured me he'd let me know as soon as it was sorted.

Hi all
Given that we are now into September, has this been canceled or moved back further?
