Thank You

Why is there an age restriction of 30? there are a lot of decent magicians with tons of experience who are over this age.

Surely it would be better to have older expereinced and therefore better skilled magicians than to have younger inexpereinced lower skilled people?

I think its because he said "modern day magician"

Im gutted as im too old and would have loved to have travelled very far just to audition lol

I live in Hassocks.

But I'm eight years too old.

Bummer.

As with all such opportunities, we need to have details of fees and expenses payable to the successful applicants.

On reading the blurb, it sounds like someone's trying to put together the magician's equivalent of a boy band.

I'm probably wrong, but it sounds that way.

This was also advertised on Magic week, Saturday just gone!

It would be nice though as Mandrake stated regarding fees and expenses, and if there is DEFINATE work from this. Otherwise its a long trek to East Sussex for an audition that could prove fruitless.

I think that Pete might be onto something with the boy band angle

I wouldn't have gone myself but it's the ageist angle that annoyed me and that they appear to not be that interested in the level of skill that the applicants possess.

There are a lot of modern day magicians that are older than 30.

If and when we get the requested details I'll move this to the proper section but until then it'll stay here. Based on the many previous worrying instances, I'm naturally wary of posts which don't give the details and expect interetsed parties to go looking for them. As for the age angle, there may be good reason but, as has been stated many times before, experience and acquired ability is what makes real magic.

Besides, Hassocks is in West Sussex. So there.

Kids today...

Just for a laugh, shall all us old fogies apply?

In a certain light I'd pass for 30... stone....

I Like your style Taffy

The "unique twist" is that there's four of them, all aged 16 - 30...

I think the trick is, they take your money and disappear

it's a trap, they're going to drug you and then drop you in the middle of the Jungle Ala Predators or The Most Dangerous Game.
