Hello,
I was thinking the other day (hmm that's what the smell was) that we're all busy professionals and it would be a great help to have a bit of extra time. Since we often go over the same points and arguments ad naseum I thought I would help out by creating a magic Café shorthand. What I have done for you all, because I do love you, is type out all the things we are likely to say and assign them each a number. Now all you have to do in any new exchange is check out the code and type the relevant numbers rather than reregurgitating another splodge of your soul. Some are general stand-alone Little darling mantras some can be combined with others to cover all situations; (1) It's not the destination it's the journey. (2) It's not the prop it's the entertainer (3) Silly Billy is a genius (4) Blackpool,mutter, mutter, mutter, (5) Don't do sucker tricks (6) Do do sucker tricks but empower the child (7) Empower? Isn't that the ruler of a country. (8) I do sucker tricks and I don't give a gnats gonad (9) I'm right and you're wrong (subtext and therefore I'm a better entertainer than you) because... (10) I've been full-time since before I was born (11) I charge 3 grand a show and often get tipped my own bodyweight in caviar (12) All my props can fit in a matchbox (13) I use enough props to sink a battleship (14) My mum said so. (15) What props should I buy to be fantastic? (16) Um (2) but here's a list of what I use.. (17) Word of mouth is the best form of advertising (18) There's a halitosis epidemic in my area (19) Childrens shows should be amazing (20) Chidren's shows should be entertaining (21) Isn't there a middle ground? (22) Yes, that's where the hobbits live. (23) What's your USP (24) A bunny (25) A distinct lack of bunny (26) I make the birthday child the star of the show. (27) I'm the star, sod the brat. (28) Are you Jolly Roger? (29) Try searching the forum (30) How do you dress? (31) You should have one show that is so brilliant that the same bunch of children will watch it 50 times in one year. (32) You should have 50 shows so that the same bunch of children will watch you 50 times in one year. (33) Children's entertainment is a gift from 'insert deity here' (34) Children's entertainment can only be learnt from the approved list of dvds (35) Entertain the children ignore the adults (36) Entertain the adults ignore the children (37) Be creative! (38) Is there a dvd on that? (39) Don't do fire tricks. (40) You can but be cautious, spray the audience with a protective coat of petroleum before attempting one. (41) Yes, you're right, George, and a fine looking specimen of a man to boot (42) I agree with the above Feel free to add additional time savers to the list. Hopefully by 2009 we'll be like those people in the joke about shouting numbers out instead of jokes in a pub. I hope this will be of great use to us all in the future, George |

(39) Don't do fire tricks. That is, ofcourse, unless your name is James Munton. I understand he does lots of fire tricks for children. Where is he by the way? Is he still a member here?

(41) Gee, Magic George, if we use your number system, the Magic Café is in danger of becoming redundant. (21)?
I have one more to add, though I doubt we will ever see it used: (43) Here is a new topic that has never been discussed on this forum before. Oh, well, as we all know (1). |

Ha ha, your 43 doesn't match Dougs!
I miss Peter(29) over here and while I agree with him I don't disagree with it so ardently. Everyone has their pet hates and that's great, we're all people(14). (37) George |

I got tired of scrolling, so I made a PDF cheat-sheet. I figure it would be too hard to refer back to this thread all the time.

Ha, that's unwarranted. My head's got so big every time I look at the pdf I break my neck.
And a very pretty neck it was at that. George |
