I am fairly new to magic. I love performing and never realized that I would until a party. During the holidays a friend invited me to a party at a salon. After a few hours being there, I said to myself "what the hell lets go to work" my 1st performance in magic. I did 1 then 2 then I looked up and saw about 20 beautiful women asking me to please do another. At one point a woman approached me and asked me please and I responded ok. But at the same time my mind drew blank! I lost all my magic tricks in my mind I'm starring at her with a smile and thinking "What am I gonna do?" About a minute everything came back to me and hit me like a bus! And mind you all I do is cards for now. There were people there that did not enjoy magic when I met them and after it was done I was hearing that people that hated magic were all into what I was doing. I really think it is personality more then anything. The more I advance in this art the more I want to make people smile. I got asked by the owners if they could hire me for there next party. I now work for them not only as a hairdresser but in house magician. I have to say that this beautiful art has been a beautiful journey and I can not wait to get better and better!

I'm sure it wasn't the first time she experenced a man's mind going blank.

Sounds like you did a good job. If you keep doing more tricks for pepole your get to the point were you can do anything at any time. Also if you link 3 tricks in a strong routine. And go over it a lot and do it every time your out. this becomes the trick you could do in any condition. If you like cards that's fine. You migth want to add a few other bits and if you want to win the ladies over check out sponge bunnies and stargazer.

Keep going have fun.

What a story. Your first performance and you get hired! I love that. Keep up the good work. Tell us, what was the first effect that came to your mind after the awkward pause? What trick got the biggest reaction?

A good story and good luck.

Terrific story, funky! This is the kind of stuff that starts a lifetime love affair with an old and grand art form!
