Thanks for doing this Ian, a few more;

15, How do you book yourself?

85% of my work now is 'word of mouth' - I have three venues that hand out my card as a 'preferred supplier' and I'm never shy about dishing my card out or putting a card on venue notice boards, I also have a loose arrangement with a couple of other people who do similar stuff to pass on jobs if we can't cover them ourselves. I do have a mentalism show which I do occasionally I don't actively promote it I leave bookings for that to an agent.

16, What’s the biggest thing you’ve ever made?

I haven't made anything really big but I'm working on a Yellow Submarine for a particular event - if I pull it off I'll post pictures

17, What has been your proudest achievement in our wonderful world of twisted latex?

Actually remembering some of the models I've learnt off CDs etc whilst twisting  'live' - my repertoire isn't huge  :roll:  but it's growing

18, What advice would you give to someone starting out, or wanting to increase their business?

Practice, Practice and Practice  - the more you know the mechanics of what you're doing, whether it's magic, twisting or whatever the more you can put into the ENTERTAINMENT factor. Business will only come to you if you chase it in the first place - never be shy about talking to potential bookers - don't put unnecessary limitations on yourself such as type of function, venue etc always be as flexible as you can.


19, What road in latex do you see yourself taking in the future

I really need to work hard over the next few months and get a more consistent standard and grow my repertoire then I'd like to concentrate on twisting and run the disco business down

20, What is your personal goal when you set off to work? Is it money or to entertain etc?

Definitely to entertain - if you can do that the money will follow - it is a matter of great pride to me that the venues who give my card out only do mine because I actually work at making the evening special by entertaining the audience (and staff) and not just turning up to play loud music - they tell me that I'm the only disco that gets a big round of applause at the end of the evening (mind you that could be relief that it's all over) I'm not the cheapest show out there - far from it - but I'm one of the busiest

21, What are your balloon goals for the future?

To be the best that I can be - there will always be better twisters than me out there  - so long as I'm happy that I've produced my best work I'll be happy banking the money

Who would you most like to make a model for and why? What would you make them ?

Kylie Minogue (the real one this time) - I'd make her an itsy bitsy teeny weeny bikini with free fitting    8-)
