Read the Thread: http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewt......&137 that has been going on for 5 pages now since June 2nd and you will see what I mean. That should answer your question. MR

Your question should read as follows: "Does anyone know how to get AN interview at a restaurant?" Remember, you cannot take back first impressions and business people often will judge an applicant for a position by their use of the language and their pronunciation and this is doubly true for entertainers who call on their guests at tableside. If your speach is littered with a lot of "dis" for THIS, "dese," for THESE, "dose," for THOSE and "youse" for the plural form of "YOU" (which is still you!), then that applicant will have a much lowered chance of getting the job, unless the applicant is playing a character where such language is appropriate, such as a Damon Runyan or Dashiell Hammett part or pastische. Otherwise, sloppy syntax, poor grammar (spelling does not count as you will be speaking - which has saved MY hide on more than one occasion!) and sloppy pronunciation will seriously damage your chances in any of the upper-class venues that one might want to have as a booking as their resident magician. Just a "word" to the wise... Respectfully, Lee Darrow, C.H.

Sorry Lee,
I started correcting grammar at the top and did not read your post first. The errors were corrected but left as original in your post. Bob |
