Am I Losing My Love For Magic?

Not quite, but I am being pulled in other directions…

I do love what I do, and I genuinely feel so lucky to be able to make people react the way I do. I love magic. I love almost everything about it.

But I also love other things. I love playing my guitar (so far in private only), I love writing, and I really, really love Ventriloquism!

I feel like, at this point in time, if I was offered the choice of my own daily TV show, which ran for twelve weeks, and it could be show A, which is magic only, or show B, which is Ventriloquism only, I might go for B.

It would be harder, or rather, it would be more of a challenge. Coming up with brand new, full length scripts and routines with different puppets and new characters… I struggle with that now!

But right now, I think I like being a Ventriloquist, as much as, if not a tiny bit more than being a magician… Is that true? I'm not even sure! I love both arts, and I hope I'll never have to pick between them… I'll tell you what. I'll just keep doing them both and we'll see where I am in five years.

Right, I'm off for a gottle of geer.
