Going Out With A Bang

If you have never seen me do a magic show, you have one last opportunity. On April 14th at 11:30 AM at the Adams County Christian Academy, I am doing my final magic show for their Open House.

I'm then giving or selling all the illusions, routines, and props I have collected over 37 years of stage, parlor, and close-up magic and closing this chapter of my life for good.

Last chance. It'll be fun.

Nobody can pay me anymore. In this economy, everybody's broke and I can't do free shows (though this one for ACCA is) as each show costs me gas money and supplies.

That is among the saddest things I've heard regarding the economy so far. :/

But you don't have to give up completely on it? You can keep all your props in hopes that the economy will turn better. You can keep it on as a hobby. I am sure there are a few people who still want to see your magic shows.

Alas. I never got a chance to see you perform, but it always sounded cool.

Sorry it has to end, but it sounds like you had a good long run. Good luck on the final show and have fun!

You can always keep it a hobby.
Sounds like a case of charity burnout.I hope I am not reading to much into this I can understand. I wish charitable events organizes realize performance have expresses and or need to make a living. It one thing a performer or ensemble comes and says we want to help but I frown on the solicitations for a gig say we can pay you buttlook at the exposure
