I've just started a new blog, in which I will be writing about my UN-retirement -- getting back into performing a lot again. If this is something that you might find of interest, please stop by. It's BRAND new, so there is only one post so far, but I'll be adding quite a bit of content rather quickly.

Another post added, and I'm thinking I might start putting my old Pro-Files columns from Visions and my Blowing Smoke columns from Smoke and Mirrors up.

I've added a bunch of articles, including reports on shows, business advice, and rants and tirades. Stop by and have a look when you get a chance, and let me know if there is something you'd like me to write about.

Since you're the only one posting here, Scott, I thought I'd join you.

Nice blog.

I, for one, would like to hear your thoughts on bulletin boards.

Tell the story about when you met Karl Hein. That's hilarious.

Sorry? I don't know that I've ever met Karl Hein.

When can you do insult humor and not only get away with it but actually endear yourself to the audience? When you are the butt of your own jokes. I attribute a significant part of my success as a performer to self-deprecating humor. Read the article on my blog for my info.

Thank you, gaafman!

I just updated the blog...

The bulk of my work comes from corporate banquets and events. Very often, these clients conduct face-to-face interviews before booking an entertainer. The latest post on my blog explains key points for doing well in these interviews.

Another quality article, Scott. Thanks.

I like the way you've classified the different types of people you get on magic BBS. I can think of members of the Magic Café who would match each description.

You mention only one person posted more than you in the formative years. Can I have a guess? Chris K?

Keep them coming, Scott. It is the highlight of my week to read them.

Wow! Thanks very much, guys, for your kind words. "Highlight" is high praise!

Andi: Nope! Not even close. Chris was WAAAAAY behind me back then, as were Palmer and Townsend--not even close back in the day. It was Peter Marucci, and he only had like 100 more than me. However, I backed off on magic for several years and rarely posted--only popped in once in a while to check PMs--and I got passed by a bunch of guys. I don't think I'm even top 20 anymore.
