The law has been changed to allow magicians and performers to pay for their rent, mortgage and groceries with ‘exposure’.
Under the new legislation, magicians will be able to purchase new equipment with sausage rolls from the buffet, and all performers will get a hefty discount on their mortgages and rent by working for ‘exposure’.
Mentalist Jon Randall from London said:
“I am very much looking forward to paying my council tax with the fact that somebody from the penultimate round of Britain’s Got Talent might be in the audience. This is fantastic news,”
Under the old law, it was impossible to pay for goods and services by mentioning that you did “a really great gig last week, no pay but it’s getting my name out there innit,”
Although not all exposure is good for magicians, and some types can get you thrown out of the Magic Circle, the public are nevertheless convinced that they can help a magician’s career by not paying them.
An illusionist from Plumstead said:
“I fooled Penn & Teller you know, but people still insist that they’re helping me out by asking me to work for them for nothing. But now I can accept all of those invitations to do gigs for ‘exposure’, and still be able to afford all of those knock off Chinese magic effects I’ve always wanted. And I’ll be able to swap the sausage rolls from the buffet for a Nandos meal. This is amazing,”
Thanks to a ‘Deep Throat’ in the Magic Circle for help with this post.
