Glad it well for you!

Outstanding job! Now you know you can duke it out in the trenches. when I do strolling gigs, I bring an extra case with a few stage effects just in case. Some rope, a jumbo ID, celebrity smart ass (made with a blank jumbo deck), a large version of El Numero, and a 35 year old Magician's insurance policy. Packs flat and takes up almost no space. I keep it in the car until needed.

Thanks MixMan:

I'm stoked. 16 year old clients .. "I know how that's done" every 5 mins. I had "out's" coming out my ass for them. It was a chess game. I was 3 steps ahead every time. Now I see why DJ's hire magicians. When that fuse blew The whole party was surrounding me. I earned 5 gigs from last night.

I feel like that was a HUGE test. I was expecting tables, small groups, etc. I adapted. Darwin would have been proud.

I learned a lot along the course of the night though. Of course some things I will change and prep for next time.

Heck yeah! And you did great! Fun story, and inspirational too.
