Magicians Assistant

Over the last few years I have been wanting to make some money, so I have been looking into different ways of doing that without having to do some dreadful job. Believe me after two days working in a condom factory and a terrible allergic reaction to the rubber, with not even a chance to test out the products, I decided to never again take a job I don't enjoy.

So after a lot of thinking, I decided that I need a job where I can use my skills from previous jobs, which have only really been singing, dancing, stripping and a bit of escorting. That is when I decided that a way of doing all of those things is to be a Magicians Assistant, look at that Debbie Magoo!

So yesterday I went along to the Blackpool Magic Convention. I hadn't been to Blackpool before, it makes Margate look posh. I loved the fact that everywhere you go there you can smoke.

The magic convention was very good. I got to see all the different acts, some of which were very good and some which were rubbish, especially some smarmy git who was meant to be able to read minds, which he can't, as all I was thinking was that I could tell he would expect me to do dirty favours to him if I was his assistant.

The good thing about going was that I got to by some new props for my act. The first thing I got hold of there was some Dove Pans, these are pans where you can magic out Dove's from... I still haven't got the hang of it yet though, but it aint to bad as I am not using real doves, I am using Pigeons.

So far I have got through six pigeons already today. The first one lost his beak, the second ones head got crushed, the third ones legs got ripped off, I won't even describe what happened to the other three. I definately need more practise before I can use it as a part of my Magician's Assistant demonstration.

I am hoping that in time for next years Magic Convention I will be ready to give a demonstration of my magic skills. Little Winston Jr loves it, he has spent all morning playing with this flash paper stuff that just sets itself alight, though I weren't impressed when he nearly set light to me net curtains!
