Not fun to go to the Dentist?
Not true…I just had a great time performing for the American Dental Partners at the Westin
Copley in Boston, Massachusetts.
I don’t totally understand their membership, but there were
people from all around the U.S. at the convention. Not all were dentists, but
there were plenty there. I’ve had my eye on an upgrade to some dental implants,
so I asked a Dentist how many teeth we have in our upper mouth. I was told 16,
so I bargained with 16 Dentists to trade an implant for a good trick. (Well, a
great trick…seems fair.)
Although I don’t advertise as strictly a Card Magician, I am
leaning that way. I always do a couple of coin tricks and am always prepared
with other material, but for the most part it isn’t necessary. My good friend
Paul Gordon, from England performs nothing but Card Magic, and does quite well.
Congrats Paul.
The negative side for me would be advertising that the
majority of my performance is card Magic. Frankly, I wouldn’t be hired.
However, once I’m rolling there has never been a complaint, and the reviews are
consistently 5 stars.
Most people don’t realize the variety of effects that one
can produce with an ordinary deck of cards. Much like music with its limited
scale of notes, the melodies are endless, and so it goes with the cards.
