I've got my first paid magic gig, tonight. My family went to the coastal retreat yesterday morning. and I won't get to see them until Christmas Day (it'll be too late to travel by the time I have finished and I'll be too tire, so I will travel up in the morning). The missus bought all the food, and I bought all the booze, yesterday.
Short story about magicians. 20odd yeas ago I was attending a bank reception at the Dorchester. Usual champagne, canapés, etc. But they also had this magician walking around doing tricks right in front of you.

That’s very unfriendly of the Indians isn’t it Quentin. How dare they live in a hot stinking dirty third world country.

Paid magic gig If my dad went out to do magic for people for £6.50 an hour I'd kick him to death when he got home.
