Somewhere on youboob, you can find Angel's music video where he does magic while singing. Angel has already tried the rock star thing and failed miserably.

You could say the same about being a magician as well.

Psychology is the study of the mind and behaviour, alot of cognitive psychology looks at attention, which as all of you will know, is a big part of any trick. Also memory is studied, which can be helpful to a magish, and anyone.


EDIT: Meant to add that I picked up self working rope tricks by Karl Fulves for 86p

Ya,I mean I know what Psychology is just I guess when you get into the thick of it you don't learn whole alot other then the ways to shield yourself or try from the looks in the eyes of your patients as tell you there nightmares and sins. But that's the path of the therapist and counselor.

Though makes sense in that Mandrake if he's using the prestige many think a Psychologist has to his advantage.I may have to drop the word then if it works that well with other people.

In business I believe there is a rule called the "2 and a half times" rule. The object being that you always make 2.5 times what you payed for.

According to this rule, I'll give you THREE times the value.
£7.50!

Even Alan Sugar would be proud!
