I find this fascinating too.
That you continue to attack, this site, the PCO's who are members and your fellow performers and then you wonder why you don't get much work? I'm amazed that Brad hasn't banned you.
Unlike TD I have never seen you perform, so I will take his word that you are competent, but I would never book you. Not worth the agravation.
In fact I booked a large Cirque styled show last month with two magic stage performers and some (3) roving preshow and asked them about you. Most politely tried to change the conversation. Do you want me to repeat what they said?
You state you hate dishonesty in other peoples websites and promotional material. But you seem to have a " if they do it I will do it too" attitude from what I hear. That your own website is full of dubious claims.
Anyway,as TD posted, every post you make here is a fascinating read, like a train wreck in slow mo.

I've been viewing this form from time to time for a while and been watching your posts sydney_magician with some... 'facsination.' I would personally say that a forum where everyone is known to everyone else could potentially be quite damaging.
This is by no means an attack on you personally David, but I watch your posts and can't help but think, you are posting on a forum supposedly filled with people responsible for booking and organising events and yet I see you just damaging your own reputation. I think it's great that you take an interest and contribute, but your comments often appear to be quite bitter and take aim your competitors who I really can't see doing anything wrong and even mice.net, who host this forum and obviously publish a widely recognised magazine as well.
I have actually seen your magic first hand and in all honesty, I found it incredible. You did some tricks I have not seen done before and they were very entertaining. But I really think people would be put off using your services by the comments you make here, and because you are one of the few people who actually says who they are, everyone knows that it is you making these comments and if you perhaps say something that doesn't go down too well, then they will remember it was you that said it.
Me on the otherhand, I can post my thoughts and opinions that people may not agree with, but because I remain anonymous, it won't affect me outside of this forum.
Like I said David, this is not an attack on you personally, I don't know you, but it can sometimes be beneficial to hear such opinions.

Thanks sydney_magician for your advice and comments. The majority of people in the business events sector are extremely busy, and hence, having the time to blog regularly is not something that they can do. We have seen a spike in comments from time to time when we have posted topics that are obviously of interest, and will continue to do this throughout 2010. If the levels of response are not there then we may review what we are doing at a later date.
Having said that, the number of people reading the blogs is considerably high. From a zero base less than six months ago we have had in excess of 18,000 unique views reading posts including yours. Forget that they are not making a comment at this stage, but they are aware of the site and are taking notice. And, I feel, if there is a topic of relevance to them, and they do have the time to make a comment, then they will do so in the future.
As for our friendly spammer, he has been contacted nicely. Obviously he has not taken the hint and our IT professional (yes, we have an IT professional at micespace.net) will be taking additional steps.
As for your comments generally, if you are unhappy with this blog then please feel free to go away - again - and find yourself another one. Best regards,
bfoster (adminstrator).
