Like the back of a Volkswagon?

You should perform magic everywhere and anywhere you can. But in the name of God, don't go up to people cold in the street and start showing them tricks. They would be perfectly entitled to be very rude to you indeed.

Get them to come to you. There are ways to do this. I used to do it all the time when I was young and foolish. But never approach people. You are at a major psychological disadvantage if you do this. Besides they might call the police and have you locked up as a menace to society which you most definitely would be.

Street Magic indeed! This is all Brad Christian's fault. Sophie Smith is turning in her grave. Who is Sophie Smith?

Never mind. I shall merely say that I have been receiving great rumblings from the spirit world that she ain't too pleased with Brad.

I think that's great advice, thanks
