Book Cover & Preview Text
Excerpt from an interview with Bizarre Magician Brian Brushwood.
I also remember driving 2000 miles to a school in Maryland,
setting up a full stage, sound system, and lights, doing a full rehearsal,
getting pumped up for the show... and performing for exactly 9 people.
How do you stay motivated to keep performing?
Two years of previous experience in a 9 to 5 job, working for a
major computer company. I don't believe
I will ever lack motivation again.
Do you feel magic and magicians are respected by society?
Nope. Sorry. When people ask me out-of-context what I do
for a living, I tell them I perform in a show, doing weird stuff like eating
fire and hammering nails in my nose. I
don't really mention the magic.
Why are magicians considered second-rate entertainers?
