I just saw that it has been since 2015 that I last posted in the Café'.
Just wanted to let you all know that I am still around, still performing regularly, and still sharing with anyone who needs my knowledge and experience... - John Pyka |

A King does not come blowing his own trumpet, old boy, but still, it is very nice to hear from your magnificence again.

To impress with your intelligence? Nothing else to do with your life? I am sure this poster had no intention of making himself important, and doubt that anyone else thought that except you. Me - I have a different standard, I guess. With the declining participation on the Café', I am pleased with any post that is not nasty or filled with grammatical errors. If the post happens to relate to performing magic I am overjoyed. Post away, friend -- if only once a year.

President Trump is not a King old boy but still thank you kindly for making my point by way of his example.
Incidentally, are “Too win friends?” and “but I am curious as to why you post such drivel?” grammatical errors?

His Majesty Big Daddy Cool is Nashville's undisputed King of magic, a master at blowing his own trumpet and proud of it. Shameless self-promotion; His Majesty wrote the book. President Trump - he sleeps with a copy under his pillow. We were merely pulling His Majesty leg. Now kindly stop irritating His Majesty and me with your grammatical mistakes and be off with you to bed as we are sure a fellow like you must be up at the quack of dawn.

And who then decides who is a king and who is not?
I post here only that you can portray who/what you really are, tommy. a "fellow like me" takes note of how one such as thee treats others. Your phrase "shameless self-promotion" must have fallen easily from your mind.

A fella like you knows everything and understands nothing.
The phrase "shameless self-promotion" is also an idea: one we learned from Nashville's undisputed King of magic, who is one who knows and understands the art and science of promotion in Our Magic. It is business not personal. Many if not all the Great Magicians used "shameless self-promotion" in one way or another. We can think of no better man to go to for advice if one wanted to promote a show etcetera. Who then decides who is a King and who is not? Mr John Pyka is one knows and understands. It is Show "Business".

We have interests in a number of commercial businesses. We spend a great deal of our take on shameless self-promotion, in marketing, advertising, etcetera. Marketing and advertising, successfully, involves promoting oneself, one’s business. A magician, as they say, must never be self-conceited but self-conceit and self-promotion are not the same things. Many magicians amusingly call themselves Great and the like; it is merely for promotion, show business. Look at any business, any magicians website, any sort of promotion and we see how we make ourselves look big on the bills. Marketing, adverts, etcetera, in all of its forms, are unlikely to be very effective, if they simply tell the plain unvarnished truth. It is all an illusion, which is a distortion of truth, come to think of it.

Once a year check in...
Tommy, I've mellowed quite a bit in the last decade... If someone wants to learn how to promote relentlessly, yes I know how and am happy to teach someone else how. |
