After much thought, I think I'm going to be boxing up The Steampunk Illusionist act. I was very fond of the concept initially, but it never quite got to the place I wanted. I'm still keeping all my steampunked props and will use them as they are aesthetically pleasing to people. But the rest of it, I'm letting go. The top hat with goggles, has become something that too many magicians have adopted, with no understanding of steampunk.
I am keeping the Victorian show, so many of those props will find their place in that show. But the days of The Steampunk Illusionist have come to an end.
No need to be sad. There are so many projects on my plate and new markets to enjoy. Im living in Nashville now and expect my shows here to explode soon (in a good way).
