Hello!

Postby fretmeister » Sun Apr 22, 2012 3:34 pm

Err, I've sort of been here for ages but haven't really posted. I was on RDF but again spent most of my time reading rather than joining in.

But anyway, I've decided to contribute a bit more with my inane shite, so here I am! It's all Bella's fault really.

My description bit over there ---> is accurate, don't know what else to say really! I have a blog that I hardly update (couple of the pieces have been published in The Freethinker mag in the UK) and I like to get up the noses of fundis on facebook and twitter.

I have the body of Charles Atlas, the stamina of a marathon runner and shag like a greek god. As a magician and a lawyer you might want to wonder if I tell lies for a living... :twisted: Or perhaps 2 jobs like that cause a double negative...

Anyway, hello!

Paul.

Welcome (back)!

And don't worry about faulting Bella - we blame her for lots of stuff here anyway. :tup:

I did a magic show at Xmas 2010... I thought it was just a kids party in a church hall, but it turned out that it was a fund raiser for the church roof repair. I don't have a problem with building maintenance and I understand that the organisers managed to make a fair bit of profit from my show, as well as from the usual stalls of second hand books and cakes etc. I was just going to do the show and not offend the 80 year olds.

But when I saw a couple of audience members and their young kids wearing T-shirts from "The Modern Jesus Army" (fundi creotards) and I got a bit carried away...

So to end the show I did a water into wine trick, got applause and then I told everyone "It's not difficult, anyone can do it"

The applause died out a bit then, so I then dedicated the show to the greatest illusionist the world has ever known - and gave a jaunty little nod towards the crucifix.

I had already been paid - but I've never been invited back!!


As part of my show I always teach the kids a trick they can do at home - but I make them work for the explanation - guide them into asking the right questions about it so they question what they've just seen.

Welcome back! I've been enjoying your posts already. :td:
"The internet is made of people. People matter. This includes you. Stop trying to sell everything about yourself to everyone. Don’t just hammer away and repeat and talk at people—talk TO people. It’s organic. Make stuff for the internet that matters to you, even if it seems stupid. Do it because it’s good and feels important. Put up more cat pictures. Make more songs. Show your doodles. Give things away and take things that are free." - Maureen J

"...anyone who says it’s “just the Internet” can :pawiz: . And then when they come back, they can :pawiz: again." - Tigger
