Yesterday I got a phone call from 'Objective TV' offering me work on a new TV show but I was in Venice and my phone was off.
A good friend of mine who I used to do stage with got the gig.
I'm happy and, well, kinda crying?
So instead of being in London today, being hugged by Derren Brown, I was in Arbroath doing a talk and demo on hypno-stuff in a small hospital. Afterwards they gave me a voucher. Life ain't all bad y'know. Smile

Tough break. I know the feeling - I moved house once, and went back to the old address to pick up mail three weeks later. There was an offer to write a book, but because I had not responded immediately, they went to the next man on the list, and I lost out. But if good things come your way once, they will come again.

And perhaps the guy who got the TV gig is posting on another forum and bemoaning his lack of a voucher.

Shame Bob this could be your last chance at your age. But I admire your use of contacts... you just might get another go go... but who really cares most what mentalists have to do to get on tv these days is ****e I would rather pass. your mates last tv appearances were a joke teaching celebs tricks.. Some people will do anything just to get on tv. It was a pile of crap.. they will be hosting quiz shows next. And when magician's have to resort to exposure shows to get attention that's desperation.

So who cares? Stick to old fatties and smokers and retain your dignity. Or sell whats left of your old soul in order to come on here and brag with empty meaningless ****e....

The other way to look at it is if they went for whoever they knew because your phone was switched off it just shows what value they placed on you. In other words anybody could do whatever they needed so long as they sucked c***

Well I asked them why they didn't call you Brian and they said they'd never heard of you.
I think when it comes to "empty meaningless sh-te" the very few people who HAVE heard of you would know that:
you're the man who knows exactly what he's talking about.
Still searching for that elusive gig?

I have no interest to do these sort of gigs. Its not my thing. I also have no need for a lot of people to hear about me. in fact in general I stay well away from "the community". I think that says more about you than it does me. Your years of keepiong in with your mates has paid off good luck with the gig. Seriously I hope you have a great time....and all the attention you can cope with...

I would hope they have heard of you by now Bob you hang around your two mates like a bad smell for years bumming them up in order to get your foot in. I'm surprised its took you so long..

And I am starting to get the sort of gigs I want to do.... they just aren't what you want to do..
