10/20/2011: Wrestling in Turkey; London's Magic Circle visit
Last weekend I visited Turkey for the first time. I had a match with current World Muy Thai Kickboxing champion Soldier and managed to escape with the win and only a black eye! Istanbul is a beautiful city and the Arena Park was jam packed that night for Turkish Power Wrestling's TV taping. I believe this company has great potential. The Turkish Pro Wrestlers show promise once they get the right experience and proper training. I would like to thank Murat Bosporos, Joe Legend, and Bilgehan Demin Sunar for helping me get the opportunity to perform in Istanbul.
The past 5 months here in England have been very valuable for me in that it has allowed me to get plenty of ring time that I definitely lacked while at home in the USA. There has been an abundance of free time as well since we have not been working during the week which has allowed me to practice many new magic tricks. I discovered this new hobby a year ago and I have grown very passionately towards it since. I was hoping to film many of my tricks while on the road during this tour but unfortunately I left my power cord to my video camera at home. I did manage to film a few tricks on my Android phone but I do not like the video quality. When I return to the USA I would like to concentrate more of my time in getting magician gigs with restaurants, private and corporate parties, hospitality suites, etc.
On June 6, Nigel McGuinness and I visited London's Magic Circle for the first time and received much inspiration from the magicians that belonged there. We both discovered how much we DON'T know about the magic art and know now how much practice and dedication is involved. Unlike the pro wrestling business these days, Magic is still very secretive and the secrets are very closed up to those involved in the inner circles. Anybody can be a pro wrestler/sports entertainer these days, unfortunately. I am happy to say that I will be returning for another visit to the Magic Circle on Halloween night to find more inspiration before my return to the USA.
This week begins half-term week here in England so I will be busy on the road for the next 10 days. I have updated the schedule with all my dates so please take a look and see if I will be in your area soon. Thanks for checking out the website and I hope to have more Magic videos and wrestling updates up soon.
