Yet to be experienced

Felix

Hello Peter...

First, thank you so much for taking out time to be here.

My questions are:

Now that you have achieved a measurable amount of accomplishment and success do you feel that there is something still on the horizon yet to be experienced for you in magic?

Do you have a dream unattained that carries you forward?

How would you like to see yourself in the future and also how would you like to be remembered?

Respectfully Felix.

Peter Eggink

Felix,

Thanks for your time to post your questions.

There are definitely some things on the horizon. I would love to perform in Las Vegas someday and it would be awesome to do a world lecture tour (which will probably start next year.)

My dream is to maintain my happiness and healthiness.
I'm also looking forward to marry my girlfriend and to have a baby child
with her. (A little Peter of course so I can give him a magic set when he's four years old. Lol.)

I truly think that our goal in our lives is to "find" ourselves and to become happy as a human being.

I would like to see myself in the future as a happy and healthy human being and a successful magician, who keeps contributing to our community and trying to raise the bar in magic.

How I would like to be remembered? I hope that I will have a lot of time left to work on that

But my wife and I have just come back from Las Vegas. Do go there Peter, you'll love it and the people as well. They are very laid back.

Peter Eggink

I've been in Vegas three times but not for actual performances.
It indeed is a great place to be. I'm planning to go back in July next year.

So are we. We have only done half the strip but go to the Paris Hilton and check out the Star Trek Interactive rides - they are ace!

We hope to go back next year but will need to save. It could mean cutting down on spending for magic but I do have a lot of DVDs to go through and learn from (and our local magic club) so it’s not so bad.

Felix

Thank you, Peter, for the great answers.

As, for being remembered, I know you still have a lifetime to work on it but I am sure it will be for your integrity as a human being as well as your contribution to the art of magic.

I was in Vegas in July. It was 46 degrees C. Great fun just the same. I stayed at the Mirage. Sig and Roy’s white tigers are in the lobby - not running loose of course. Good luck with all of your upcoming plan.

Please keep us posted on your lecture schedule.

Kindest Regards, Felix.

Peter Eggink

Well, Thank you Felix

I'll sure keep you all posted!

All the best,

Peter

Since I suggested you being here!!!!

Alan Rorrison

What is the music that inspires you and makes you create? Just now for me it is heavy metal; Orbital but don’t ask. Since I was the one who got you here with out any credit I feel I should ask!

Hi Alan, Nice to hear from you

I love music from the 80s and, since I'm a huge Phil Collins fan, I play his records most of the time. For me, his "sound" creates the perfect atmosphere, and it gives me inspiration.

Cheers,

Peter

Chabang

Actually Peter was tempted to the boards by member Lee Alex, who is fast becoming a sort of on-line Ali-Bongo

LeeAlex

Is that good or bad?

Chabang

Well, if you find yourself wearing crazy stage costumes and increasingly outrageous woolly jumpers in real life and attending every convention on the planet then it's a bad thing If however it's because you seem to know everyone then take it as a good thing.

Nigel Shelton

I am very grateful to Lee who started the ball rolling by contacting Peter privately to see whether he would be receptive for me to email him with more details about this “Special Guest” project. Lee has been very active behind the scenes with his vast directory of relevant contacts and he established several new and exciting future contacts for Magic Bunny. Some of these will be visiting these boards over the next six months or so in the form of our next "Special Guests."

Thank you Lee.

Peter Eggink

Hi Alan,

Yes, I remember that you contacted me a while back, with the question if I would be willing to "guest speak" on a magic board. However I didn't knew you where talking about Magic Bunny as you didn't mentioned which board. LOL! Well, I guess Lee was simply ahead of you.

Cheers,

Peter

LeeAlex

Thank you Nigel for Magic Bunny and thank you Tom (Chabang) but outside I don't wear strange jumpers - so I guess it is a good thing!

Last Orders Please

Nigel Shelton

This is just to remind you that Peter's time will be coming to an end very soon. If you have any burning questions, please get them posted by Saturday evening (GMT) so that Peter may have an opportunity to respond before the end of the week.

This has been a thoroughly interesting week. It has been a delightful insight, investigating how the world of magic and the creation of effects work together and I have certainly enjoyed reading the questions and replies of all the posts in this forum - I hope that you have too.

A very warm thank you to Peter for his input so far, to what has been a remarkable week of thoroughly enjoyable discussions.

Peter Eggink

I also would like to take the opportunity to thank the Magic Bunny team and all Magic Bunny members for making the last week a great week.

It was really a very enjoyable experience and I absolutely will return to this great board sometimes.

Thanks again everyone!

All the best,

Peter Eggink

"Thank you!"

LeeAlex

Peter.

Don't know when your week will end, but in advance a big thank you for all the time you put into the forum this week.

I am sure it has made interesting reading for all, and I for one have certainly enjoyed having you here.

Here's to a bright future and wishing you continued success.

I shall be contacting you privately very soon.

Michael Jay

I would also like to thank you for taking your time on these forums Peter. It's been a pleasure having you here and I've thoroughly enjoyed reading your well thought answers to the questions that have been posed. I hope that your road is always smooth for you Peter and wish you great success in all that you do.

Take care.

Mike.

Peter Eggink

Thanks, Guys.

I'm glad to hear that it was as enjoyable for you, as it was for me!
Thanks for making it work.

All the best,

Peter Eggink

Normally, at this stage at the end of a week, I start a thread called “Thank you” in order to publicly thank the guest speaker for their time and input. This “Thank you” thread is left open for a few days in an otherwise locked forum so that other members may add their thanks as well. The other threads in the forum are then locked so that the “Special Guest” is not embarrassed by having further submitted questions or comments that need replying – at a time when their busy schedule dictates that it is time for them to move onto their own work. This week, I see that Lee (and Mike) have beaten me to this chore. What a kind gesture for Peter – it is so very rare that other members are so grateful for a guest’s input that they beat me to the construction of a “Thank you” thread. This just goes to show how receptive and appreciative Magic Bunny members have been of Peter’s input to these boards.

No thread in this forum has gathered less than 40 views, members have been very quick to thank Peter for his time and I have witnessed a great deal of positive feedback regarding this project – what a great complement for Peter.

May I add my own voice of thanks to Peter for his time spent at these boards and the input that he has provided. This has been a thoroughly enjoyable week and I have learnt a great deal in the process. Thank you Peter for your input I am very grateful.

LeeAlex

And today history was made - I had both a topic made "sticky" and another one locked!
