Making a profit only seems like magic... -- News Story On Me

[Close-Up Expert]

Hey guys....a few weeks ago a reporter from the Calvert Recorder (local paper in Calvert County) came to interview Reggie and I at Jasper's after I sent her a press release. She was interested in doing a story on us, and here is the end result.

Thoughts/comments very much appreciated!

Making a profit only seems like magic....

always good to see good magicians covered by the media.

"Both magicians consider themselves professionals (when you get paid for it, that's how you know), but say it's difficult to distinguish themselves to the public from wannabe magicians who really aren't well-trained."

good on you mate!

Yea, neither one of us said that. Not really sure if I like how that sounds, makes me come off as a tad arrogant. Oh well, not too bad. The only thing I didn't like is being described as a guy that does 'card tricks'....

Thanks for the comment!

I enjoyed reading it! It really is a great way to get your name around even more. Great quote by the way...

"Building credibility and respect is one of the hardest parts of the job," Simmons said. "Being only 19 years old, young for a performer in my industry, I find that I have to perform over and above the expected for people to take me seriously and I enjoy tackling that challenge."

Hey Steve, have you contacted them about the quote regarding being a professional means being paid. That's not okay for them to say. Especially if they totally added that and you never even made a reference like that to the pay. Just something you may want to do.

Oh...and yes....your side burns are...well....they are lustrous, amazing, stupendous, fabulous, tantalizing, inviting, fantabulicious, and everything inbetween. As if you didn't know that already.

Technically true though. The difference between an amateur and a professional is an invoice.

It's not just about the money, it's about how you conduct yourself.

Nice going Steve. Good to see things going good.

That's professionalism.

The textbook definition of a professional is one who is paid for his services.

steerpike is right they are two different things profesionals get paid for doing what they do.
