When Roz contacted me at 2am because she was wanting a magician for her post wedding party one might reasonably expect that I’d be asleep…

Which I would have been except I had recently returned from entertaining at another party.

She already had a DJ, caricaturist and a bucking bronco and last minute had decided she wanted a magician.

I was out of budget.  

However a bit of a chat revealed that an exchange of services and a reduced price was acceptable and the deal was made.

Take homes:  

• It’s always worth asking – I might be free
• Where there’s a will there’s a way.
