Odd Magician Enquiries
I had a strange phone enquiry last night. A reporter from a national newspaper (one of those with a red top) called and said “Are you the magician?” and I said yes, I am the only magician in the world. (Well, I thought that. I actually just said “Yes” rather cautiously).
He then asked if I was performing at a certain England footballer’s wedding this weekend. And said there was some money in it for me.
Well, unfortunately I’m not (unless said footballer is getting married at a small pub near Peterborough) so I couldn’t tell him anything and I wouldn’t anyway.
Not sure what sort of information he was after, some juicy gossip I suppose. I hope the magician who is working there doesn’t reveal anything. It wouldn’t be very professional.
It tops my previous weirdest enquiry where a TV researcher wanted to know if there were any magicians I had a rivalry and dislike for, so we could appear on a ‘conflict resolution reality TV programme’.
I briefly considered contacting some magician friends and making it all up so we could get on TV, but decided against it. It wouldn’t be good for your image would it?
