Exciting News

Postby Beardy » Jun 28th, '11, 15:44



Well guys, it is finally happening.

As of September 2011 this year, I will be doing my MSc course at University, but I will also be turning 100% full time pro with mind reading being my only income. This will be the income that pays my tuition fees, my rent, and my food etc.

Very nervous to get rid of the "security" of a set weekly income, but very excited at the same time!

Love

Chris

Good luck Chris!

I just found out my neighbour is a full time children's magician, he went full time pro about 5 years ago and said it was the best thing he ever did.

Hopefully you will feel the same in five years time. :)

What happened to the PHD, buddy?

I bailed on my MSc because I'm basically lazy.

I still might! But not just yet! Have you seen the lack of funding out there?

I have never met anyone who after turning their passion into a career hasn't said it was the best decision they ever made.

Good luck with it! It's going to be amazing!

I was wondering why you weren't effectively a promagitm already. Good luck in your venture, and remember to destroy only your own cutlery when on your free time. Amazed no restaurant we've eaten at has shouted at you yet...
