I do sincerely hope I'm not speaking out of turn here. But so many of us make good money out of entertaining either as a full-timing living or secondary income. Has there ever been a large Charitable collection of funds for causes like Darfur etc. made by magical and allied entertainers.
The Magic Café is obviously a hugely influential Forum with so many regular visitors. I'm wondering if anyone has ever suggested to Mr Brooks and his Team the possibility of setting up a secure Pay-Pal type system for Contributions over a set period of time towards current humanitarian crisis such as Darfur. I certainly would entrust a donation to the people who run this Board without hesitation. I wonder what kind of sum could be raised if say US members gave $18 minimum; UK members £10 minimum; (proportional sums adding to the same from other currencies). Musicians have banded together to make donations. How about Magicians? I make this proposal at a time of year when thoughts of others, and suffering around the world, may be to the fore in our minds. Once again, apologies if this proposal is considered inappropriate to this meeting place. Tony Gayle. ("Cheshire Cat") |

Cheshire Cat I think that's a wonderful idea! I would certainly be in line for such a gesture. I'm not sure of what the Café policy is regarding something like this and perhaps Steve would like to comment.
I know in some areas, we've had fundraisers through magic which have raised monies for worthwhile causes. Would be nice to see something like that on a grander scale as you suggested. Hope something comes of this. If I hear anything I will keep you posted. Chrystal |

Thanks Chrystal. I knew you'd reply sometime. Strangely enough I made this posting just a short while before the appalling disaster that was about to unfold.
To just push a couple of dollars or pounds into a collection box in your bank or store etc. towards humanitarian causes is a worthwhile gesture, but wouldn't it be nice for a group of entertainers to raise a large sum between them. Tony. |
