If it hadn't been for Preston I wouldn't have spent so many years in Blackpool. I was working the Ideal Homes Exhibition in Preston (which is indeed a depressing place but less so than Whitehaven) and I knew that a friend of mine was working in Blackpool 40 minutes away. He was also selling svengali decks but on Central Pier in Blackpool. Oddly enough that friend is now the manager of Derren Brown and Sooty too but that is another story.

When I got to Blackpool I liked it so much that I decided to stay and I did for years on end. I did not get that desire when I arrived in Whitehaven.

First of, allow me to introduce myself here as I have only just created an account; I'm Danny Joseph and I am a 17 year old close-up magician & hypnotist with two years experience in the field.

I enjoy performing in public venues such as bars and clubs for my own entertainment and that of others.

I consider myself to be very self-conscious and I worry allot about my image as a magician.

I like to entertain people, and at the moment, developing my stage presence is a much higher priority than that of developing my card tricks themselves, as for me, the magic is in the presentation, not the cards. ( Not to say I do not know card magic, I have my tricks down to second nature, but I am not currently looking to expand upon them just yet)

One very big problem I have when performing, so big that it sometimes prevents me from wanting to go out to do magic; Is with living in a small town, there are no other magicians in the area. Meaning if I venture out to perform, (which I do regularly) I feel I develop a image of `The lonely guy with no friends who's in the bar every week`. This, understandably really downgrades my self-esteem, especially when I like to see myself as being `the cool guy` at the party.

Would anyone have any advice to donate to this situation?

Any replies are much appreciated, & I hope to be seeing you all allot more as I develop my presence here on the forum

For me, the hardest magic trick to master is Showmanship.
