It looks GREAT! My wife and I don't have TV - we have a set but we just never watched much television so we just turned off the connection. When this comes out we may have to reconsider that. :-) Or visit some friends once a week!

Stories

The forum went quite well. It was outdoors - I just entertained folks as they went by. I had one lesson to learn - I planned to do about ten minutes for folks. In my mind, I figured they'd be moving on and I'd get a new crowd and do about ten minutes for them. I was limited to stuff that could be done surrounded and had no reset time so that I could just keep performing without having to stop, so I could only bring certain tricks with me but that fit with my plan.

So I gathered some folks, did my ten minute set and I discovered the flaw in my plan. No one left. :-) I suppose that's a GREAT problem to have, they liked what I was doing, but ... I ran through all the routines I brought with me, ran through some I brought that I hadn't planned on doing, and then just just warned them I was going to start repeating and went for it. Fortunately that went pretty well!

Another public show!

The library show went wonderfully - there are even pictures of it on my site now, under the Star Wars section. Everyone was in a great mood and laughed and was really responsive - so I was very pleased with how everything went.

I'm doing another public show on Saturday May 19th at the Forum, on 5155 Peachtree Parkway in Norcross. That will not by my regular show, it'll be closeup magic. As folks walk past I'll gather a small crowd, do some effects, and repeat. I'll be there from 1 to 4.

If you're in the area ...

Library Show

Want to see my show for free?

I am doing a library show Saturday at the Fayette County Public Library at 1821 Heritage Parkway, Fayetteville, GA (maps.google.com will tell you how to get there - http://tinyurl.com/2s9eng ) at 2:00 on Saturday. They are doing a Star Wars day and called me up and asked if I would do the Star Wars show, so … I recently found out there would be more Star Wars stuff after my show, but I have another show afterwards and can’t stay to see it. I’m a bit disappointed about that, I wish I’d known about it before I booked something else!

Card Trick

This was a very interesting card trick ...

Someone sent me the link. I watched the first half and thought "Cheesiest trick EVER!" But then the second half ... well, that part made it worth sending the link about.
