Doing the Leicester Shuffle

Things have gone a bit hectic again and I am in the middle of six bookings in five days. Have done three already and all have been enjoyable. I will be honest, I have primarily enjoyed them as they have all been for one hour duration each so less hard work than other events. In the olden days when I would work for a lot of entertainment agencies, close up magic jobs would always be arrive by 6pm, set up by 6.30, work 7-10pm regardless of whether there were 10 or 1000 people there and then finally receive the payment cheque three months later. Dealing direct with clients means I am able to work out exactly what they want and be there for an amount of time proportionate to the number of people there. Plus I get paid on the night, boom!

Last night I was in Leicestershire for a company night out. The event was held in a restaurant in a village called Battram which Multimap.com, my GPS unit and my AA road map all claimed absolutely no knowledge of at all. So, for the first time ever I got to the general vicinity a couple of hours before I was meant to start and just drove around a bit hoping to find it. A method that fortunately proved successful. The company was Admiral Cleaning Supplies and they were all very pleasant and receptive to the magic! In fact I have already received an email from the organiser. I will copy and paste it below.
