Ok I'd love to find this out. For those who have a non magic performing partners, how interested are they in your magic? Do you tend to keep your home life magic free as possible? Or do you do it practically all the time (not just regular practising)? Do you practice in front of your partner? Do they get bored when they are asked to "pick a card" all the time?
I've met some girlfriends and they do vary from ones totally inspired by magic to those that don't want anything to do with it. I wonder if Derren Brown's boyfriend always asks for him to do something "mental" or do they settle in front of EastEnders? I say it in jest. But I do wonder. Obviously you can't do magic 24/7 and you may have other hobbies plus you may practice on your partner new ideas. But away from the usual practice does your "muggle" partner get to see tricks all lot at home or do you more or less pass off of as any other couple??? MJ |

No its not a rumour. I am a friend of a friend of his boyfriend. Also it was in the press a couple of months back (Google it):
U.K. magic man, Derren Brown, has announced he is gay. The heartthrob magician says he has been out for about a year and is currently in the "perfect relationship" with a man. "I've been with my partner for about a year and it's perfect," The Mind Control star told the Daily Mail. |

It is not rumours Derren came out in one of the UK nationals about a month ago.There were threads on it here in the Café.

Since you brought Derren Brown up, in an interview he mentioned that his boyfriend wasn't all that interested in magic when they met. (Maybe things have changed?)

If anything, I was disappointed to learn that it wasn't much of a surprise. Possibly my penchant for interior decor had given the game away." :)

I try all my new tricks out on her. She has seen my act so often that she is sick of it, but as long as she doesn't make me get a day job I am a happy boy, and she is my one and only hoochy coochy mamma.

My wife tolerates the magic but she's not a big fan. Her only request is that I practice an effect before showing it to her. Too many times I get something new and want to show her right away without practicing. I used to be able to do that with my seven year old but even she's catching me now.

My wife does not love magic. If I ask to try something out on her, she will agree and then burn the hell out of my hands. I seldom ask.
Her sister is much better and appreciates it much more.
Magic is like Science,
Both are fun if you do it right! |

My wife hates me and my magic but she is deeply in love with Max Maven.
As for Darren Brown I couldn't pick him out of a line up. |

My bride of just over 26 years totally enjoys magic (especially done by others )
She is very supportive and has no problem being my second set of eyes when learning something new! Mick |

Hates it.
Considers it her "competition." One of them has to go.
Will you walk into my parlour? said the Spider to the Fly,
Tis the prettiest little parlour that ever you did spy; The way into my parlour is up a winding stair, And I've a many curious things to show when you are there. Oh no, no, said the little Fly, to ask me is in vain, For who goes up your winding stair -can ne'er come down again. |

My wife likes my mentalism stuff - the other stuff she has seen A LOT and just likes to watch audience reactions. She rarely watches my shows as she is working when I'm performing at libraries and schools.
She still loves the losander table though! Chad |
