Misrible old magician (sorry)

I was just looking at my old blogs. Sorry about the negative titles. its no wounder I don't have any followers! (or maybe its just because the blogs are rubbish) Anyway I will try and make the blogs happier and more positive from now on (maybe).

Well the wedding fair went quite well, I got some links for my web site, made some contacts and may have got myself a Christmas gig. Which is all good!. See I can be positive when the mood takes me.

Life is hard

Well here I am. It's Sunday morning and I got up at 7.30am to go to a wedding fair and try to get some more work. To be honest I didn't have to get up that early but I could not remember what time it started. I've just phoned and checked it doesn't start until 12pm!!. So I could have been in bed longer. It's only just down the road. Never mind I feel sure I will get work from it and it pays to meet people. I might get some link exchanges for my web site which will be good. I've just changed my web site about to try and get it further up the rating. I live in hopes!!!.

Bad times indeed

Things must be bad! A working magician I know has just had to get himself a real job!!!

Bring and buy

Well here it is my second blog!. I went to the Edinburgh Magic Circles bring and buy sale this evening.

The Edinburgh circle meets in a club in central Edinburgh near Princess Street. I've just been put on the committee which I must admit I am pleased about. Most people think magic circles are full of professional magicians doing deep cleaver things but that's not the reality of it. They tend to be full of middle aged men doing card tricks and talking about the good old days and great magicians of the past and they all wear brown and sports jackets.

I took a load of rubbish to the sale, but I did manage to sell a copy of my manuscript on cold reading which I was pleased with and brought some DVDs and books. I've decided to not look at any new stuff until I have gone carefully through what I already have. I only try to buy things that will fit into my act and nothing made from plastic or too 'proppy' looking if you know what I mean. On the whole I am quite good at this (OK some times I slip up!)

My first blog!

OK so I know everyone has there first blog, but I don't get out much so for me this is a momentous occasion!. I will start by telling me a little about my self. I'm 50 years old and a professional magician working in the UK (but will work anywhere really). I live just outside of Edinburgh. I do any sort of magic (including Tarot readings) but I don't really do kids stuff unless threatened with cash and then I have to! (the need to eat being important). I travel all over the place to do magic and have worked for clients like the army and Celtic football club.
I busk in the street during the fringe festival which is great.
I hope that people will be interested in the ups and downs of a working (not yet famous) magician.
Hope you have a happy day and will come back to follow the (almost) interesting adventures of Paul Temple Magician.
