My Name is Alan Davidson and I am a Scot now living and working up here in Norway.
I have worked in the music business for the last 12 years as a singer, guitarist and as a Piano Entertainer for the last 5 years on the Norwegian Piano Bar scene. I have been very interested in magic for a few years now and have bought lots of gimmicks, books etc. I will not buy anymore gimmicks but work on sleight of hand close up stuff, as I am very good at dealing with guests of all types, drunk, sober etc. I hope to use as little gimmicks and more everyday borrowed items if possible. Regards Alan http://www.alanzmuzik.com |

Hi Pianoman
Welcome to the Cafe. There is a whole host of information about close-up magic here and many knowledgeable people who are willing to share their experience. I know that you will enjoy it here. Best wishes Ken |

Welcome Pianoman!
That sounds like good thinking to me. Some Gimmicks are pretty useful, but what do you do when you don't have them handy? And since you already have the experience of performing and understand how to handle an audience - no matter how they behave, it is a good time to hone your "magic handling skills" . It will be great to hear your contributions as an accomplished performer of Music coming into Magic. You can really set yourself apart that way! Good to have you here!

And I agree with you totally on a preference for working without gimmicks. cheers, Peter Marucci showtimecol@aol.com |

Welcome! Maybe a little spoon bending and a couple of readings might go over well. Anyway, drop by the mentalists' table and say hello.
It's the corner table by the window under the sign that says "A Penny For Your Thoughts," but I sensed you already knew that.

Welcome aboard Alan.
It’s good to have another piano player around. That’s also my "real" job (if you can call it that!) and there seems to be quite a few other musicians lurking around this place as well. Good party stunt: roll a quarter across your knuckles while playing Hanon. (No, I can’t do it, but it WOULD be a good stunt.)
Every problem contains the seeds of its own solution. Unfortunately every problem also contains the seeds of an infinite number of non-solutions, so that first part really isn't super helpful.

Alan,
Good to have you. I play guitar and piano myself, but probably not half as well as you. I look forward to your posts. Sable

Alan, Welcome to the Cafe, the reason I am increasing my base access hours plan asap.
Please don't give up on gimmicks, especially buying them, cause this dealer has an increased bill to pay from next month and it's all the Cafe's fault Welcome! _________________ Have a Magic 2002 John Williams http://www.ezytodo.com/aladdin/ subscribe to our free ezine
