As post says , any experienced sideshow experts in the UK considered doing one?

I've been asked, a number of times, to come there and teach. So far, it hasn't worked out.

Sure that the UK contingency could rally around at some point in near future and make it happen .I'd definately be up for a teach in .

I think to teach on a one to one basis is the best way to learn this stuff.
I learnt from several sources this way.
Also to assist at live performance (Which puts a completly different slant on things) Is highly beneficial to the learning curb.

To find a mentor who is doing the biz full time and living the life that this biz requires will meen that you will have to put yourself out, which will get rid of the mere curiouse pupil who is after secrets rather than a whole package.

Don`t get me wrong, yes you can learn a great deal from a classroom lesson, but it`s a huge leap from their to the doing of it for real, and an even bigger leap to getting paid for doing it.

Point taken Ken, Ill be the first out of the trap if an assistant is required at the "circus "show in that case.

So if I can't find any sideshow teachers in the UK please would you recommend some good books on it?

Ha ha, just kidding. It's not safe to learn from books. That's why everything I know I've learnt off the telly.
