"Anyone living in the Munster region of Ireland and is Interesting in Learning more about magic, or becoming a magician... I am holding a meeting in the old 1/4 pub, Limerick on the 29th of March 2010. If you or you know someone who would like to come along I would love to see you there. The Future of Magic Needs You.."

The meeting is also for existing magicians, professional or amateur. We're hoping to discuss existing societies and what can be done to improve the contact between magicians in the area.

From personal Experience, I've tried to contact my local ring on several occasions to enquire about membership and have never recieved a reply. Last years convention was, IMO, quite poor, and would not attact younger Magicians to the art. Something needs to change, and I hope that with this meeting we can start getting the ball rolling towards better communication and a forward thinking society.

Monday 29th March, 7pm, if anyone wants to go and needs to travel, let me know, I may have a spare bed if needed.

Great idea lads, I know I am not the only one disillusioned by traditional magicians societies and the politics that they bring with them. I would make it up if I could but I can't take the time of work at the moment.

For anyone thinking of going, I know both zuroph and Leon quite well, and they are both top lads who know their stuff.

If there's anything you'd like voiced at the meeting Ian, by all means send me a PM or email and we can bring it up, would be delighted to have you on board.

Let me see if I can finish up a bit early on Monday and I'll take you up on that if you don't mind. I'm out in Douglas, I'll cover the petrol money in exchange for you driving (Don't fancy driving up myself)

Hi all intersted in this topic ...

I have retired from doing Magic Shows for kids parties and am looking for anyone in Cork who does Kids shows specifically.

My number is still in the golden pages and I get a few calls a week still. I only have a name of one other magician that does kids shows and he is quite often booked up.

So if you do kids magic shows please send me a message and I can pass your number on.

The type of agegroup would be 5-8 year olds typically. Also not sure what the going rate for a show is now but I used to charge 150 for two hours. 40 min sit down magic show and 1hr + facepainting.

Kind Regards
Sharon

Hey Sharon,
There are a good few here and I would in particular recommend Anthony Galvin (Tony Baloney)

Stephen from Action Entertainments also preforms in the area.

You can find both their contact details here:
