Have been lurking for sometime...really enjoying the wealth of knowledge found here.
Started dabbling with magic in high school and was fortunate to live near a magic shop that was a hang out for other magicians. Realizing how much money it took to get the really cool tricks…I decided to take the “standard” route of doing kids parties. After one disastrous show (who knew 6 year olds would not stay in their seats and calmly applaud?) I decided that was not the path for me. I focused more on close up and “street” magic (this was before David Blaine) and was quite happy playing around with as an occasional hobby. I did some street fairs, picnics, and (unpaid) restaurant work. During a recent move, my box full of tricks was hauled out of the basement…and it got me thinking. I dug out some of the old stuff…found this forum…found another magic shop…and am afraid I may have been bitten again. I spend time in both Wisconsin and Georgia. In Wisconsin there’s a great farmer’s market every Saturday…perfect for busking. In Georgia, there’s a five mile strip of restaurants…that I just know is fertile ground for a gig or two. I’m not looking to make my living doing this…just looking to have some fun, have a hobby, and, if I make a buck or two at it…all the better. So that’s me in a nutshell (or would Top Hat be a better metaphor?) I’m looking forward to participating in the Magic Café…this really is a great place.
