the story goes:
i went on a course in london in febuary and although it wasnt really an expose it did help greatly with my patter and confidence. i kept in contact with the tutor (a member of the magic circle) we met for dinner and a chat, ( i think he liked that i knew what i was talking about where as others on the course just wanted to learn tricks) we kept in touch and I recently got offered doing table hopping ion a local restuarant. so have asked him for advise. so he said he wwill get me a visitors pass and we will chat.
As soon as i got in we went to the bar, then he showed me around. the museaum is unbelieveable, genuine letters from houdini, the gun that was used by chung ling so. illusions, cups and balls from hundreds of years ago, everything you can imagine it was amazing!
we then went upstairs to the theatre room and watched people perform which was also very good. after we went back down and met everyone, i was introduced to so many people i can only remember a few, The magic circle president, ali bongo, etc etc. I was being introduced as paul abbeys student which was a bit of and honour.
after we went to dinner with ALI BONGO!! it was unbelieveable it was crazy eating dinner whilst talking to famous magicians, faye presto was also there. we went to the soho club after and had drinks and chats untill about 2 am. put it this way its a night ill never forget!!!
oh, and ALI is one of the nicest blokes you will ever meet!!!!!
hmmmmm might be going on sat too!
