MURRUGUN THE MYSTIC

well here's a magician of a different color, heh, his stuff is real.....he's a sword swallowing bed of nails kinda guy.


I met him some years back in san diego, he has been performing for many years but has only in the past few years brought his act to the streets.

i remember him starting out and taking on the streets and the san diego entertainment venue world. i also remember tellin him he was wasting his time in san diego and that he was wasting his talent on this town, i knew he was good, but i thought san diego wasn't.

.....WELP, now i'm eating my hat, because he found the equation to crack san diego's uptight and sterile tendancies. they actually love him there now, infact he's made the local paper front page and he dominates the venue market.

this should all be understood that it didn't come with out many years of hard work and nay sayers {myself included}.

fakir, jadoo wallah, mystic, dement. he has worked every venue in san diego and has done some travelling as you'll see if you check out his myspace;

his act is fire eating,blowing, exibition, sword swallowing and a bed of nails where a group of the audience stands on his chest at the end he lets them examine the holes in his back.

Fun show, all done with accompaniment, by the lovely miss Justine Bethel on her accordian, she looks like a doll.....a demented raggedy ann doll, making poses like a marrionette with mime smiles.

the show begs to be watched and the two of them deliver. they really are a striking couple doing some very interesting things.

his video clip of them working in sea port village;




murrugun's story is the story of EARNED success, this is a tuff town.

this is a great lesson to us all that, if you're stubborn enough, you can make it happen in the town you want it to happen in.

i have been working here in san diego now for a little bit and i have got to appreciate him more nad more.

murrugun you have my undying respect.
