First Post.

So yeah 'm trying out this whole Blog thing. As a magician in Chicago and Detroit I am willing to do any type of new promotion to get work. Comedy magic is fun, marketing is not. Currently I go to Second City Chicago. I think I might post it on my website sometime: www.magicofnick.com . Magic shows and improv comedy are alike in many ways. Most of all, anything can happen: A trick can be set up and mess up. A audience member may not like the show and verbally tell you during the performance. And if it seems to be working, you can make stuff up as your going along. 

As a michigan magician I've been toying with the idea of writing each time I do a show. Steve Martin was wonderful at this. After every show ( he did comedy and goofy magic during his stand up days) he would journal about what worked and what didn't. I keep saying I will do this- but i figure if I make a magic blog, I will take the time to analyze my shows and hopefully improv weak parts of it. If your around May 2 come to Quenn of Angels Parish Hall: The Voss Center

4412 North Western Avenue, Chicago, IL, 60625 . ( Montrose and Western) The show is at 7:00. Lots of comedy, lots of fun! Come out and support a good cause! Cheers. -nP
