Many thanks to Gerard, George and Chrissy from the Business Referral Exchange (BRX) for inviting me to perform at their business networking event last night.

It took place at the lovely One Alfred Place in the Bloomsbury area of London and was very well attended. I was fortunate to meet a host of business people from a variety of backgrounds, all of whom enjoyed the magic I performed (judging from the e-mails I received this morning!).

BRX is a long-standing networking organisation for small to medium size business owners, providing a forum for them to work together and share their experiences and expertise. I’ve attended a couple of their breakfast meetings and have been very impressed by the way in which the members network for each other in order to bring more business to the group. For more information, check out http://www.brxnet.co.uk/.

They also host special evenings where they invite guest speakers. Last night, it was the turn of internet and social media guru, Ian McKendrick. He spoke for about an hour on social media and by the end, everyone in the room had at least one piece of information to gain more connections and possible business from the likes of Twitter and Facebook.

Speaking of Twitter, you can follow Ian at http://twitter.com/ianmckendrick and me at http://twitter.com/MagicMattDuggan.
