Not sure if anyone saw the copy today (free with the Mail on Sunday)?

There is a section about people in business who are making life changing decisions such as retiring, going self employed etc. and the section runs each week so the profiles are only short, but informative.

Anyway, there's a piece in today's issue about someone who has retired at 60 to become a professional magician. The article includes some generalised information about magic shops, charge rates, getting corporate work etc.

It was a nice and pleasant surprise to read something of this nature and I thought that it painted a very positive picture of magicians and particularly their dedication to study.

If I get time later on I'll scan and post.
