Belated Happy New Year!
Welcome to 2007!
After a very busy Christmas period and a bit of a rest at the beginning of January, I’m back on the blog again.
December was pretty hectic, even though I didn’t perform magic at any restaurants this year. I managed to fill up my calendar with private parties, which is better for many reasons; more variety, more money and less evenings out (though being so busy still puts a bit of a strain on family life).
So, what are my plans for 2007?
I’m going to work out a new close-up magic competition routine, I have some great ideas that would be spectacular if I can pull them off. I’ll perform it at Leicester Magic Circle and then maybe some other smaller magic clubs leading up to the International Brotherhood of Magicians convention and competition. I might also enter my cabaret act into the Leicester Magic Circle competition.
I want to promote my magic lecture a bit more. It’s not a big earner, but it is a great way to meet other magicians and get a bit of exposure.
I need to update my main website www.dangifford.com. The problem is, it’s doing quite well in the search engines, so I need to be careful not to change it too much. More info and tweaks to what is already there.
I also have some other websites on the go - more on those later.
And of course I need to continue to build up my client base and get more gigs.
Plenty to keep me occupied this year!
