Dis-Spousal
You know what the most common question I get asked as a magician is?
Yup that’s the one…
“Can you make my wife* disappear”
*Sometimes husband. Sometimes annoying work colleague. Usually wife though.
Once, I was performing for a bride and groom. Less than 90 minutes after the “I do”, I got asked if I could make her disappear.
So, are you telling me they want their spouse put in a box and magically vanished before an appreciative crowd?
Nope. ‘fraid not.
Having done a little digging on this, it turns out that we are talking a slightly more sinister, roll of carpet, gaffer tape, zip ties and deep river kind of scenario. Hmmmm.
I’ll be honest, up until now, I hadn’t given it much thought. Close up magic is reasonably lucrative. And I feel my talents lie more in that direction than spouse disposal. The legalities were also a bit of a concern.
Anyhoo, I’ve had a change of heart. There is clearly a massive gap in the market and it’d be foolish not to try and grab a piece of that pie.
So, step 1: Web domain “Dis-spousal.co.uk” purchased, and packages carefully designed. Might do a bit of advertising (probably best on the dark side of the web) and we’re good to go.
