As some of you know I have been busking for the best part of my Adult life. It has not all been a bed of roses far from it. I have had a few other things spinning in at the same time but the one thing that I thought was solid was my family. How wrong could I be about 2 years ago my now X wife left me. Our interest had long gone different ways but I did not see this coming dam that hurt. Boys are with her but I get to see them. One thing I am thankful for is we are now friends and have respect for each other, in the words of Gandhi an eye for an eye will make the whole world blind. Fathatmagic took it in the groin my Comedy shows was building a lot of success where ever I went folk where calling out my name I had cornered the Christian market pretty much and was getting tones of work through that. Then word got out work seems to stop over night as you would expect.

At the moment that happens no one was more thankful than me that I am a Street Performer, No one can take that from me while I am still breathing.

I am glad to say Fathatmagic is coming under new management IE not my X wife. We will be reloaching soon, sorry if any one was put out while all this happened. The only thing I seem to manage right during this time was the School of busking.

Just over a year ago I meet the true love in my life and we now work together she is great with my kids and so supportive.


One thing I would warn any one thinking of becoming a street performer is ask your self this. Is their any thing else in the World that you could do? If so for God sake go and do it. As for me I have asked my self that very question many times and the answer is still the same "No, I love what I do and I will continue to do it.

I put this down not because I am said but as a lesson I have learned. Never assume anything most of all never assume it won’t happen to you.

These days I am very thankful for where my life has lead to, that I found great friend and that work the way I do.

Thanks for sharing that Mario.

You're in my thoughts and prayers too. It's good you found somebody as good as ya said. These women are rare!

Best to ya.

I found my Mrs right after Mrs wrong told me where to go, Mrs wrong still has the kids but I see them a lot, Mrs Right also has kids of mine and she showed me that I was wasting my life in the job I had and convinced me to change my stars and do better things.
one day she might even persuade me to go out there and perform (she keep trying but Its me that holds me back)

Thanks for sharing Mario and all the best for the future, things seem to be looking up and it will get better.

Family problems are always tough. Mario keep up the good atitude.

Everyone else keep the wind at your back,
Anton

As they would say in alt.callahans... sending good wishes your way Mario!

Best to ya Mario.
