Rehearsal

I've been rehearsing for my upcoming show at Gorilla Tango Theatre (http://www.gorillatango.com). I forgot how tough it really is. My hands are cramped and my shoulders are sore. I guess magic is tougher then I realized.

I am working really hard on this show because it is the first show that all of my friends, family, clients, peers, etc, etc. can come see. Usually when I meet someone new and they find out I am a magician they always ask where they can see me perform. My answer usually is, "Get invited to one of the events where I am working" because almost everything I do is private events. So, it is going to be really nice for everyone to be able to see my work.

I purposefully decided to do this show completely on my own. So, that way there was no one to blame for the success or failure of the show. I quickly realized that is not a good idea. So, I hired on a Publicist. Good move.

Know what you are good at. Me, I'm a comic magician. I am not a publicist. Hiring someone else to do things you are not good at is such a relief. Try it sometime!
