So… post one, where to begin? Suppose my name’s as good a place as any. It’s Harry. Location? Dublin (bit more civilised than oeb’s!). That’s the name and whereabouts done, now to the genuine stuff.

I’m currently in first year engineering in TCD.  Great college, grand course. As a stereotypical student I am, of course, bloody broke. In order to remedy this situation and feed my rampant alcohol and sex addictions, I have decided to take the big step, to sign a deal with the devil and admit I am utterly insane by turning into a professional magician. Given that my agent (yes I have an agent (www.kaboom.ie), thank you nepotism!), has said I can get €180 for a 50 minute Kiddies set I think it’s the perfect solution to my problems. Luckily, I love kids (as long as they’re well cooked). Actually I hate the little buggers but there’s not a lot I won’t do for 41 pints (there are limits Mr. Norton!) My set is well under construction and should be up and performing next year. Then my perverse habits can once again reign supreme!!!

That’s the money shot maker. The fun stuff is:

a. My TV debut. Okay it’s on TG4, the least watch channel ever but I at least get to stick ‘As Seen on National TV’ after all my promotional stuff! Beat that!!! The story of how I got the part is fucking hilarious, I’ll post it in full at a later date, but basically it was the most over-presented card force ever!!! Anyway I got the gig, I’m going to be on show four of the series in the new year. I’ll post an exact date. The effect I’ll be doing will be a design duplication using Banachek’s pad method of Psy Series Volume Two (Awesome DVD), should go down well!

b. Comedy club gigs. Got the number for two comedy clubs round town and am going to get a ten minute slot in one of their new performers nights. Should be a great way to get my name out!

I’m also gonna be busking on Grafton Street after Xmas and also handing my name into every hotel and restaurant offering to do a free demo set to see how their patrons take it! Hopefully might get something out of that!!!

Well good luck,

Harry
