HI everyone- I started posting here about 4 months ago- developed a genuine interest in magic, started going through MW's CCIM, then bought RRTCM, and eventually moving up the ladder. I just wanted to say, in 4 months- I have started to see the fruits of my efforts. I'm one of those guys, who even after they learned it, would not perform until it's flawless, (so that however nervous I get during the performance, the tricks are muscle memory by then).
Well I performed for my mom's birthday- and needless to say, by the end of my set, I had the whole restaurant drawn in. Kicked it off with: Ambitious card (x3 - I did a set of 3 consecutive tricks) Then went into Extractor + card UNDERNEATH the birthday cake- that was incredible. Never thought I could get away with something like that, but it was so easy. Once the cake was finished, they saw it) Extractor to Brainwave Scotch & Soda And ended with Paperclipped. I know- I use a few gimmicks- but the effects are just that much more impossible. I want to thank many of the people who gave me advice during my posts- particularly when I had not the slightest clue where to start. I'm far from a star magician, but I'm getting there now. Special Thanks to Pharoh - my teacher - if he reads this! Jeff |

Absolutely nothing wrong with gimmicks, dude. It's the final product that counts.
Way to go!
I am getting so tired of slitting the throats of people who say that I am a violent psychopath.
