Be as giving as you can. If you are lucky enough to still have
work, share some of the gigs with your colleagues who will be
hurting. Buy a week’s worth of groceries for them. Or better yet,
if they have them, but their notes/tricks/routines to support them. -

Plan out a show that requires no assistant coming up onstage.
Many magicians use assistant volunteers way to liberally; are
there ways to perform the same routines without parading
back and forth continually. This will be a bad optic for a while to
come; plus it will probably really speed up your show in a
positive way. - NICK LEWIN

Reconnect with friends and clients. I’m calling people who have strange schedules
like me and while our homes may be a few miles apart, we’re never in the same city. -

PERSONAL: Spend time with family. Tackle household cleanups and/or repairs that you’ve
been putting off.
PROFESSIONAL: Take one or more on-line courses for education or self improvement.

DAILY EXERCISE PROGRAM.
This is very important to maintain health.
On line exercise programs are freely
available. Keep record of weight and general
health. Vitamin D vital and a certain amount of
exposure to natural sunlight is important. Get a
tan! - COLIN UNDERWOOD

Look ahead to when something like
this happens again, and
it will, and really think about the items/
moments in your act that would be cringeworthy at this moment in time.
Work out ways to avoid using saliva during the Gypsy Thread, or doing
the Card From Mouth. Maybe they always were a bit cringeworthy
and we didn’t fully realize it. - NICK LEWIN

STAY IN TOUCH
We might be in isolation but that doesn’t mean we
must be out of touch or alone. I feel community
spirit will get humanity through this. The sharing of
the human plight together is cathartic and vital.
I suggest creating What’s App groups with your
families first and foremost. Create Skype
accounts and communicate on regular
basis. Determine together how often
to be in touch. The family bond is the
strongest and if you are alone it is
the important to be in touch. -
