If all the spaces fill up, can one still come & pay just to watch?

When all the spaces fill up, the door will have to close.
Mario

Hay Dan I should have said thanks.

I have just com back from the British Juggerling Convention where I did my talk demo/talk on street performing. I had geat response and more folk singed up to the School of Busking I only have three place left now. If your interested contact me ASP.
Mario

I saw Mario give his excellent talk/demo on Street performing at the British Juggling Convention.

I was so impressed I think I mentioned it to nearly everybody I met afterwards. Back home I spoke of it to Keith Bennett, a magic dealer. He would make a good lecturer for the magic societies.

Needless to say I've signed up for his course.

Kevin

Thanks Kevin

Omg. You should hold this in Canada !

Hi Folks
Last call with just three places left.
Mario

Wow! Not going to be in Europe and wouldn't have the money if I was but I wish you and your students the best!

Excellent course last weekend under the guidance of Mario. Great bunch of people who signed up for this.

Mario is the perfect person to lead such a course. He knows how to take pupil's initial ideas and transform them into something which works on the street.

After the Friday evening talk and demonstration, the participants were kept focussed on developing their own ideas and rehearsing for 'Sunday Showdown' on the streets of Cardiff.

He seems a popular Cardiff figure. On taking us a to a pub on Friday night we were all promptly invited upstairs to friend's party! On the Saturday we were all given a 20% discount at his favourite curry house!

Mario is very committed to the cause of delivering an excellent product. Very noble in this age of the 'fast buck'.

He has so many lines at his disposal. He could take any trick and mould it into a street presentation. This of course the product of many years as a craftsman of his trade.

I was on first on Sunday afternoon which was great! Got my show done and could relax and watch the others. Mario was on hand to offer odd tips and guidance throughout the afternoon. He finished with his own street show which was great to watch.

Marks out of ten? Definitely ten!

Thanks Mario.

Kevin

Thanks Kevin

It was a great weekend the group geld so well. I suspect your at the Europing Juggerling Convention, would go to much work on.

I had high expectations for the success of this cause this was succeeded by far it just went so well.

So another cause is on the horizon if you are interested contact me.

Mario

Thanks Guys

I am very pleased to hear that number of folk from the cause are now street performing.

I have had a number of enqwires since the cause I would like to put out my feelers for some dates of when to run the next one any suggestions.

This is a cause like no other, it's about you and your show.
