It depends on how it’s pitched and how it is performed. I’m heavily into mentalism and psychic phenomena. Its techniques do not rely on the sleight of hand of traditional magic, and it puts the spectator at the centre of the performance. If it’s done right, it won’t feel like a magic trick, and you will be carried along on a wave of awe and wonder. Think of Derren Brown at his best. Other guys to check out are Peter Turner, Russ Andrews, and Michael Murray.
See, it’s that backwards attitude that lets you down. I have performed my effects on some of the roughest tattooed mofos you can imagine, blokes who would sooner rip your head off and **** down the ragged hole than listen to your “Wenger is great!” bollocks, Pix; and they have loved it. Stop giving it large and admit that you’re as much intrigued by magic as the next bloke.
What is it with this fixation on Con Clubs, Pix? Were you buggered in the car park of one, as a youth, mate? I have been performing magic since I was about 9 years old. I perform it to friends and family, in every type of location that is fitting.
Come on, boys! Imagine having a mate like me. You’re in your local boozer, and in I walk. “Pint, lads?” I’d ask, heading towards the bar. “Oh, and whilst I’m gone I want you to think of a card. Any card, yeah? That’s right! I’ve got another killer for you boys!” You’d fcuking love to have a mate like me. There’d never be a dull moment.
Go on, admit it, Pix. That’s your cafe you’re talking about, isn’t it, mate? You booked a dodgy uncle to perform some of his ****ty magic tricks that he’d learned from a library book, and it turned sour, didn’t it, mate? Look, at least you gave it a go, Pix. Just get someone with talent next time, yeah?
He also does kitchen tricks, could easily adapted for cafes and restaurants. please log in to view this image
