MOD gig

Postby themagicwand » Jul 5th, '11, 09:50



No, not riding around on scooters listening to the Small Faces. Ministry of Defence rather than mod.

Got a gig this Saturday with the MOD and the guy organising it mentioned that there was a close-up guy working as well. Just wondered if its anyone on TM? That would be cool. If you are, give me a shout!

Should you be talking about this on a public forum :P

They will make you sign all kinds of secret acts and stuff ... but its all good, you could get them to do the same when they see your magic :P

One of our collaborators is lecturing to a group of military intelligence officers this week (Friday I think). It's up north, and I don't think it's him because he's a clinical psychologist and it's a lecture rather than walkaround.

Actually, you've reminded me of a story that Malchat tells about being booked for a US airbase gig in Europe. Once the brass realized the nature of the entertainment, his agent got a call cancelling him because: "mind readers are not allowed on the base". :roll:

Shame you sold your MOD ESP cards, Paul - you know where you can get more with a fast turn-around ;)

Today's Headlines "The MOD has 'misplaced' £6Billion of equipment."

Surely room for a whole routine there.

how about a 6 card repeat ?
I lost this tank, I lost that tank, I lost that tank.. but still had 1,2,3,4,5,6 tanks in the compound.

It's amazing what you can fit into one of those old church collection style change bags.
