I have several Internet Businesses that include Coaching and Mentoring entertainers in the whole business of self Branding, Promotion, Marketing and filling their diaries with bookings.
Question Dear Sir
Is it possible to sign up for Magic Circle summer school? How do I find the courses? (it is quite hard to Google when searching for magic, as so many sites use it in all kinds of meaning)
Answer Aase
I am not sure what you are asking so let me answer three questions:
1) If you mean 'The Magic Circle' in London, you'd need to ask them. however, many Summer School events are open only to members. I know as I ran these events for about 12 years! I presume you are notr a member or you'd know where to find details and you'd receive them with your membership.
If you are not a member you may wish to join via www.themagiccircle.co.uk
You'll need to be 18 years old (minimum) and be of an excellent magic standard across several disciplines. If you are, find two members to propose you, then you'll be asked for an interview and need to perform as part of the examination process. You'll need a balanced act of around 8 minutes that displays knowledge and skill.
2) I am holding training for 4 weeks this Summer (as I do each year). If you can be in West London and are aged 10 years - 14 years then you qualify and I'll gladly send you more information. It runs 4 weeks from end of July through most of August, Monday - Thursday each week. Students attend for one week (4 days) and we present a show at the end of each Thursday's session.
3) I also hold private tuition and workshops in the West Midlands (UK), and can organise these at any time by arrangement. Contact me about these too.

As far as Google is concerned, you'll get out what you put in, so be more selective with your KeyWords and Search Terms. Clearly 'magic' won't get you anything specific so then search 'within' those results and use words like 'tricks, workshops, how to' etc
