My first post….
So, this is my first post - made twice as hard by the cat trying to sit on the keyboard. I suppose I’d better explain what this blog is all about. My name is Dan Gifford and I’m a magician based in Leicester and working throughout the UK. This blog is about the strange (or maybe not so strange) world of a professional magician. You can visit my UK magician site if you like.
There is going to be a lot about magic - experiences, ideas and other websites, but also stuff about my other interests - origami, the web, films etc, etc. In fact, it’s my blog, I’ll put what I like in it!
We’re now in the middle of the Christmas season (a very busy time for magicians) and I’ve just got back from performing close-up magic at a company Christmas Party. It went really well and they were a good audience but I don’t envy the childrens party entertainer who was on after me - they were getting pretty merry! I should point out, it was an adult audience but a children’s fancy dress party theme. I hope the children’s entertainer knew what he was letting himself in for….
