Knock em dead, Mr. Cooper.
And remember, every performer has bombed a few times. You learn A LOT from making mistakes, so either way you win. But I think you'll snap right into it and you'll wonder what you were scared of. Cheers, Matt

Have a j. arthur before hand...that'll calm you down...
wash your hands after though... may the moist be with you, young padawan... what would be more interesting is if you could record their chatter afterwards, so you can hear what they think of your performance...couldn't you ask the family who hired you if they'd record it? good luck...

Here is a good tip to remember. If by chance something goofs up on you,stay calm and remember the audience most likely has NO IDEA something went wrong. So do the best you can to correct it and stay on track. People will only know something went wrong if they see you react to it. And do not---I repeat DO NOT pick a pretty girl to assist you on stage. Pretty girls get GORGEOUS as they come closer and you will get distracted. Plus the men in the audience will not follow your effect as much as they are looking at her. And finally have fun. You will remember your first performance a lot longer than your audience. So make the best of it. I wish you all the best and I know you can do it.
Good magic to all, Eric |

He should keep that in reserve in case things go wrong.
They will certainly be talking about a finale like that for years!

I live in the same area as Eshla. I'll post if I see the police helicopter up, or hear any sirens.

FIRSTLY, I would like to point out that I am working on a routine to close shows where for the finale I remove my pants, jacket and shirt, in a grippingly sexual way. Once I had the appropriate prop, you'll see what I mean.
SECONDLY I just want to say *** YOU Michael MURRY! He sold me a second hand 'm*g co*n' for tonight's show and it's so old it's fallen apart. I am now stuck with using the massive and odd looking Eye 2 Eye co*n. I'm going to get you Michael. Either my money, my co*n or your testicals shall be mine! *angry face*
I call myself "Thomas Cooper" here because this stops the magic café appearing when people google my stage name.
Does anyone else find the term "Special User" to be a bit condescending? |

Less than an hour to go, and if even a SINGLE girl thinks it's a m@gnet*c co*n then I'm going to find Michael Murry, and that old beardy guy who made this *** massive co*n and I'll use them both to recreate that final scene from Hostel.

I'm sure the show will run like a well oiled machine.
I doubt if there will be any slip-ups. Your act will be slick You'll keep any slippery customers in their place. The time will pass like greased lightning. You'll be thinking, "I moist do this again, it was fun and oil enjoy myself even more next time" |

We now go over to a live audio feed of halfway through Thomas' performance....
"....Oh! Oh gosh!.... Oh Golly Gosh!.... No wait that's not meant to happen! Oh bloody coin!!!! - Sorry about that ladles and Jellyspoons, I am going to have to finish with something different... Now does anyone know the difference between water and lube? Well you are not alone as my Grannie doesn't either!..............." Oh dear we seem to have lost the feed.

We are so lucky that Thomas Copper chose mentalism as his hoby.
He could choose so many things ... We are lucky... a big step for the art. I am proud to be a member in this forum and learn so much about the young children in the UK

Boy there's a lot of smoke blowing up his ***. Offering support is great but do most of you not remember your actual first live performance gig? I'm sure it wasn't smooth or pretty. The reality is he w'll encounter problems, his, the spectator's or otherwise. Call a spade a spade. This isn't aimed at him specifically, but to all new entertainers. Between Mr. Murphy's law, your lack of performing and audience management experience, not to mnetion the props and effects you expect to come off one way when they actually come off different than expected.
The truth of the matter is good luck Thomas, rough parts will happen - expect it, not all will go as planned, but continue to progress forward and don't let it rattle you, this is part of being a good performer and is also part of the learning process. If it goes perfectly, you've lying or have done something wrong. Just offering some reality that many seem to forget. Encouragement is great, but also keep it based in reality. This is what will truly serve Thomas or any other new performers the best. |

I wonder if Thomas will talk to the like of us now that he is a superstar?
Will he remember us when we want tickets to see him at the O2 Arena? We can all do those "An Audience With Thomas" shows and tell of how we all knew him before his fame and fortune.
