Magic does not appear to garner the level of respect that many other forms of entertainment enjoy.
Perhaps it's because some of it's practioners do not treat it with the respect and integrity that the craft deserves. Some feel it perfectly acceptable to use, borrow, or basically steal the ideas,thoughts and efforts others have used to come up with something maybe just a little unique or personal for themselves. As in your stage name, why on earth would someone choose to alter one or two letters to create a name that phonetically sounds the same? And you perform in the same area! I scratch my head at the lack of integrity. Why would you want to? My name is Thomson. I live 1500 miles from Las Vegas. But I'm still wouldn't call myself The Great Tomsini. What happened to respect or even common sense? I created my stage name over 20 years ago. It came honestly through a client I performed for at a Trade Show. It utilized the name of the manufacturers product. But I see so many instances of copy, copy, copy. What ever happened to using your own creative juices. Don't try to be witty or clever. Be original, be thoughtful and most of all show just a bit respect for your fellow performer. Alan Thomson (The Great Marrdini) |

I knew the confusion was inevitable.
At my School show yesterday, there was was a sign up with this other "characters" name and picture advertising the event. When I advised the principal that that was not me. She pasted her picture over his! |
