Respect for the art



As I sit here watching the show on NBC called UUMMM what do you think Celebrity Circus and I really do not know what to think. I was in the circus for 15 years and I have seen some amazing circus acts and these are not it. But this blog is not about that. I am posting because of something that has been bugging me.

No RESPECT. A few weeks ago this show had a women on it and the whole time she was all about her self and not the art. I do not think I have to say but she was booted off the first week. Last night on America Got Talent was the same thing. They showed some of the magicians that went for it and let me tell you there was this one ( I believe the first magician they showed) that really ticked me off. He came out with his shirt untucked and looked like a bum on TV. His act sucked and should never have even thought about being apart of what that show can do for people. To me he showed no respect for himself , the show or the most important his art form.

When you look at some of the best in this biz they only have respect for themselves and they put the art first and form most. So do me and all of us in this art a favor and respect the art before you go out and make us all look like a bunch a stupid dorks. Thanks

Enjoy magic and enjoy life.

Why O Why does it happen?

So This post will be a short one but something I wanted to put out there. I am starting to get really upset with magicians who are backing out of being a full time magician. All I hear is how bad things are so I have to. I do not know about you but I am working more then I have in a long time.There are other magicians who have and are working more but the are just backing down. I just do not get it.
So I guess you have to think about how much work and guts does it take to make good money at this. It takes a lot. I am not going to sugar coat it . It is not easy but instead of going to get a job I am working harder then I have and it is paying off.Well I said that this was going to be short and it is.
Enjoy magic and Enjoy Life.
