Nice one Stephen, we just had a good one too, 2 weeks in Tenerife all expenses paid, working each evening but all the days off, so we are both on a roll

Happy Toad, i have just looked and i am booked up. I sent her to corporate magicians.com (just getting my advert ready for that site). I did mention your site (hope that is ok!) i did check them out and they are a genuine corporate client!
I keep getting a nice string of private parties but i need more corporates as performing for a 'name' gets you good press
Edit: how did you get a foreign gig or is that a trade secret

It was actually the first time we accepted work from an agent, normally we are not interested in agent work but in this case we made an exception.
I'll let you know if we get contacted in the next few days with a corporate London gig and of course it's ok mentioning our site, in fact thank you.

Good for you! Im 14 and Ive never thought of going to a hospital! So glad to hear from young magicians that dont just want to do some crappy street trick they saw on TV. Keep up the brilliant work!

Hi Guys,
Its great to hear you 2 are doing hospital magic. Thats something i havent done yet. Sounds great! May well have to try that one out!
Have you ever tried childrens parties. Do you do childrens acts.
I find that being young still is great for childrens parties - I feel that they can relate to us (although we are that much older - we are still closer to thier age than most working magicians)
If ya wanna chat on msn please add me. I'd love to discuss magic etc

Turtle - just think of the invaluable performance experience that you're building up through this line.
Nothing wrong with hospitals, unless you;re a patient of course
Stick at it and make sure that the patients know who you are and how they can contact you when they get out.

It's not really an optical illusion - it just looks like one!

Well done

I don't do any gigs, just the occasional family birthdays and the likes
