Spinning Magazine - would you buy one?

thanks OWD very good idea

I like the idea of a spinning magazine. you could list organised troupes etc and it could be used as a way for performers to be found by venues.

the capital for production could be offset by "Some advetisements" (not too many as that gets annoying) either by troupes, venues or producers of juggling equipment. it could pay for itself if marketed correctly

I would buy the first one, and then judge if it would be worthwhile to subscribe. I hope such magazine would not be bias against staff spinners and have articles relating to all fire toys.

Well i have been researching the idea. The legal legwork behind this sort of thing is kinda crazy. So i have come up with an idea. Would people still buy it if it wasnt just a magazine by itself? What if it was part of another magazine? Like an insert in....a lifestyle magazine? That way it would be easier to organise. It would be a start.

Would YOU buy it? No pre-pay, where u dont know if u will ever actually see ur money or the magazine again. It would be available at your local newsagency.

I am currently talking to one magazine who seem interested. I cant say what magazine because i have told them i wouldnt mention anything just as yet, but its possible. As more incentive, can people give ideas on why they think this is a good/bad idea so i can take it to them. The hardest part is convincing them that there is a big enough audience.

Now i recently bought Marie Claire. I was told that they have a fire spinning section. But i couldnt find it. Is it true or is it just gossip?

Jai.

it would be good to start off with, however i would like to see a spinning magazine in its self later on though

Yes, it is the ultimate goal i would have to say. But since i didnt win lotto last night i have decided to start off small with a more stable source. I will let everyone know if this goes through. There will be a trial issue and everyone will have to go out and buy it! Or else there will be no point in publishing it.

I will let everyone know when i know more.

If anyone has some skills they would like to share please let me know.

Peace.

Hi Everyone! I have been perusing this thread, and it seems as though there is some interest in a magazine for fire spinners - how about if it included something else to go along with fire spinners? Here is an online magazine I have started as a test subject.

Please check it out and offer any suggestions, etc. I would like a lot more content so if you have ideas or would like to submit articles, interviews, etc, please let me know! Thanks!!

Wow, that's Anah on the cover!

Been away from HOP for a while... magazine idea is dormant for now for me, but am certainly willing to contribute in any way to someone else's pursuit of it.
