WOW

Wow, what a difference a great show can make!!!

Haven't blogged lately mostly because there's not much positive to say about magic in general and magicians specifically.

A friend recently said "Magic would be great, if not for magicians" and he's spot on!!

Over 90% of self proclaimed magicians are terrible!! What's worse is they don't realize it, won't consider or seek constructive criticism or read the books and materials that could help them.
Now I've gotten that out of the way, well not really as I could go on but .......

Today at a private show in Virginia I had the pleasure of performing for a great audinece. Great people, well mannered, intelligent, interesting and everything you could ever want in an audinece.

All the newer pieces went over great and were well very received.
Case in point, a very short version of the new closing act

About 80% of the show is original materiel and it's the greatest feeling when the original pieces are the best received. Validates all the work, thought, effort and time put it.
