Aspiring mentalist from the U.S. Hi, everyone.

Greetings from Boston, Massachusetts.

I’m new to this forum, so I wanted to briefly introduce myself.

Magic has been a lifelong interest, but I’m relatively new to mentalism. By that, I mean that I have spent the last 18 months reading everything I can on the subject (Corinda, Anneman, Banachek, et. al.), studying other performers, practicing effects on my wife (and sometimes my dog), and putting together my first routine. I have a short-term goal of beginning to do no-fee performances in the second half of this year, and a medium-term goal of giving my first paid performance by the middle of 2011. Long-term, I would like to do 15-20 paid performances per year, while also keeping my day job.

I plan to check in to this forum frequently to ask for advice and also to share any useful info I come across.

Also, for what it’s worth, in “real life” I am a full-time writer/editor, and have an MBA in marketing. (Check out my Web site, if you care to.) Time permitting, I’m happy to review and critique people’s Web sites and other promotional materials, and discuss marketing strategy in general.

Thanks for taking the time to read. I look forward to getting to know you all.

Best,
Brian

    Ah, Boston. A city I used to know well. Have they finished the Tobin bridge yet?
