Starpower, a friend of mine was given a similar offer - from two gorgeous Russian working girls. But they had approached the wrong guy. He is gay!
I did a gig for the daughter of a hooker last year, but was paid in cash. No story there.

I was hired as a DJ/Magician for a private party in some guys mansion in Great Falls, VA. Cool group of partying adults, but no kids attended.
I arrived before all the guests to set up, so my car ended up blocked behind several other cars in the driveway. Once I packed up the car to leave, it was time to collect payment and request folks to move there vehicles. Only one problem. All the guests were now in this guys backyard completely nude in a huge hot tub popping the champagne! Talk about awkward. They asked me to join in, but I wasn't about to whip out my magic wand for anyone so I patiently waited while they eventually obliged and "barely" moved their cars for me. - Gary |

This was a midnight show in Laguna Beach which has a lot of artistic and free-thinking residents.
I walked in the house where all the women were sitting in the living room and chatting (drunk). I was wearing a tuxedo and all the props were in my pockets. A few ladies asked if I was the stripper. Then they insisted I was the stripper. Then they wouldn't believe me that I wasn't the stripper. When I finally convinced them that my job was to amaze but not amuse, they booed me and got up an boogied out the back door. They told the men I was there. The men (even more drunk) came in and sat down. I did the show and never saw the women again. Laguna Beach has steep hills. Charley the train guy loaded-up his train with 25 people. This was a gas powered tractor with 5 tag-along cars. None of the cars had brakes. So he started down the hill and couldn't stop. He drove through 2 stop signs and a red light, almost half a mile down hill. They stopped in the sand at the beach. No one was hurt but he kicked everyone off the train and they all had to walk back up the hill half a mile. The train guy loaded his train back in the truck and left without payment. So everyone was not in a good mood and the hostess asked if I could start the show early. Start the show with exhausted people who were upset and trying to calm down from the adhrenalyn rush of almost being killed. Needless to say it took them half the show to calm down.

I've had some strange ones, but the most unusual was probably being booked for a large party of hookers, pimps, and drug dealers ... plus all their children! What made it even more unusual was that I was the only white person in attendance.

Good guess! They were cheap little buggers who refused to pay my full mileage rate.

I once got a birthday party for a small group of 6 fourteen-year-old girls. The mother was a high priced local lawyer. Her daughter was interested learning magic, or so she said, so she didn't want my usual birthday party show which is really for a younger audience anyway. Instead, she wanted me to do s little close up and then teach some magic. I agreed since I already did a "How to Learn magic" show anyway. When I started it was obvious that the girls weren't interested in watching magic. They were stereotypical, rude, "born with a silver spoon in the mouth" girls. I could hardly get through a routine without them interrupting with comments like, "That's dumb!" and "BORING!" Then, when I got into the magi lesson part the guest of "honor" made it clear that she wasn't interested in learning in magic, but that she wanted a live version of "The Masked Magician Breaks the magician's Code." I cut it short, collected my fee and swore never to do anything similar without a high fee and a signed contract in advance.

After attending a party for an alleged real princess (of some unheard-of Regal figure from the Middle-East), which was held in a suburban area of London, for an outrageous fee. At which , the birthday child arrived by chauffeured limousine more than an hour late for her own party (because Daddy had taken her shopping in Harrod's. And the traffic had been heavy.) A couple of months later, her dad was on TV, shot and killed as an international terrorist.

Other memories.
Kansas oldest bed and breakfast. Aka Ks state penitentiary - maximum security cell block. Got special permission to bring in my strait jacket. It was a graduation from a year long drug treatment program. Side note the concrete made it a great place to play the harmonica. I was the show as in show and tell years ago at a kindergarten class. 40 year birthday party. Theme Kansas State University and Abba The latter was easy. Being a KU (Kansas University alum ) made for some fun bits. County fair where the stage was seperated from the audience bleachers by a used road. Yes, every once and awhile a car or cars would drive between us. Oh what fun is live theatre. Harris

Good one Jay.
...and if you walked on it we'd call it ______. Rim shot. But I digress. Another from a memory box filled with dust and: The Young Republicans National convention around 1980. The entertainer the night before, Uri Geller. The kids asked me if I could bend things. I restrained bending anything besides their minds and funny bones. Harris Still too old to know it all

A magician friend of mine told me he's scheduled to perform an evening show for a group of nudists in June. Then he just got a booking for a Methodists Church that same afternoon!
P.S. He can remain dressed for the nudist show. |

They probably hired you because they were intrigued by your name
