I need a smart looking "next show" sign, with a clock dial or similar, for a series of shows this summer.
Does anyone know of a good source, preferably in the UK? |

Know nothing about UK, but here in the states Roy Stone at Jamstone Magic has great signs. Good guy to work with. Check them here:

I bought mine Two Years ago and it still looks TERRIFIC!!! =Frank=

Hey, Potty The Pirate.
If you want to make your own then they are very easy and cheap to make. Here's mine. https://www.facebook.com/DerbyChildrensE......&theater

I believe Alec Powell at Albion Magic was selling them at the Blackpool convention. Its not listed on the website though so might want to give him an email.

Here's mine on my new strolling Magic A La Carte, for which construction will be appearing shortly in The Wizards' Journal #36.
The idea is that as I approach a group of people with my walking Magic Carte, the arrow points to "Later" or even "Never", but as soon as they walk up, the arrow jumps to "RIGHT NOW!" Now is always the best time for a magic show!

I made my own previously, and it looked OK. But I've seen some really classy ones, and that's what I'm after.
These little touches make all the difference to the overall impression to the audience..... I might just go ahead and cut the wood, make the clock, paint the design, etc. The more I look at printed signs, the less I like them. |

If you do make one yourself would you mind posting a pic. It would be interesting to see what you come up with. Mark

You might want to think about a digital clock. Kids today don't know how to read a dial.
