F.A.Q’s
Here are the most frequently asked questions about Brian Daly and his magic skills…
- Are you in the magic Circle? I am in the Society of Irish Magicians which is the Irish version of the magic circle and have been a member for over a decade.
- How often do you practice? At least a little bit every day, and some days I practice all day.
- How often do you learn new magic tricks? Constantly. I’m always putting new numbers into my act and updating my repertoire.
- Do you invent your own tricks? Yes, more and more frequently I create my own minor miracles.
- Do the tricks ever go wrong? Ha ha yes, a few times yes, I’ve been caught while I was learning to steal peoples watches, but I don’t take it too seriously and I just got on with the show and making sure everyone had a good time.
- Where did you learn magic? In prison. Not really, it started in kindergarten, then I got magic sets and books and joined the Society of Irish Magicians and it turned into my full time job from there.
- Where are you based and where do you work? I’m based in Dublin but I cover the entire island of Ireland and regularly travel to perform at festivals around the country.
- Do you have a rabbit? Actually no, but I do have a mind-reading ferret, yes you read that correctly. His name is Rocky and he’s a bit of a lunatic, does impressions and circus tricks and for the grand finale he reads peoples minds for real, it has to be seen to be believed really.
- Do you have a real job? Ha, no not really. If by “real” job you mean working 9-5 in some faceless corporation to make some fat cat in a suit rich, no I don’t have a “real job”. Magic is how I make my living. I am a professional messer.
- What’s your best trick? Tricks are like songs, each person has their favourites but it’s hard to say which is best. Personally I like taking people’s watches without them seeing, because if they act up or heckle, I could just keep their watch.
- How did you do that? That one will have to go unanswered for now…
