I love John Archer. I grew up watching him, and he’s the best at what he does. He’s the only performer I always look forward to seeing perform at Blackpool. I genuinely believe his Fool Us performance is the best there’s ever been. I always know I’ll enjoy watching him perform, even if it’s magic I’ve seen before.
I will, however, be sharing his recent advice for younger magicians to set up my overly passionate argument for learning to (and making mistakes along the way) sell yourselves. I’m doing so because his advice is just too flawlessly perfect for a topic I’ve wanted to write about for a long while.
Archer’s words are given out in good conscience, and I can assure you that I am undoubtedly over-enthusiastic about what we should be telling young magicians.
