Pep,

Change your trip plans and come out in Sept.! We'll get Barry Fernelius, Dean Dill, Vinny, Mr Youell and whom ever else we can get for a grand ol' time supporting Eric!

MMc

Hey guys,
I will be organizing the St.Louis lecture. If you have plans to come to the Midwest Magic Jubilee then why not come in a day earlier to see Eric Lecture. Or if you live in the surrounding area please come out and join us. If you have any question please do not hesitate to call. My number again is 314 452 5383, or feel free to pm me here on the Café. Our limit is 50 due to fire code so please contact me asap if you have any interest in attending.

Eric -

Is the workshop in Chesapeake on July 10 going to cover the same ground as the one in Baltimore on the 25th? I read Denny's description of the one on the 25th, and it looks phenomenal, but I can't make that date. From the descriptions, it sounds as though the Baltimore workshop is geared toward material that may be more accessible (ie, not quite as knuckle-busting) as the Chesapeake workshop. Either way, I'll rent a car and make it to one of your dates.

Have you considered doing a workshop/lecture date at Barry's Magic in the DC area while you're up here? I mentioned it to Barry, and he said he was planning on reaching out to you sometime soon anyway.

- Scott

Hey Eric,

I will see if I can get you out to AZ.

Scott,

The "It's not as hard as it looks" Workshop is geared to provide an intermediate to advanced sleight of hand session to get give you great reasons to try material you may have ruled out as difficult, or too ballsy. I will be presenting the same workshop in MD as in Chesapeake, VA. If you can make it, you'll be glad you did!!!!!

By the way Scott,

I just happened to see Barry in DC last night at Kozmo's awesome lecture. I think I may be able to hash out a date in the very near future.

Max,

I'd love to come out to Arizona, but I've heard enough Michael Finney jokes to know all about the weather in good ol' AZ. I don't need my flash paper spontaneously combusting in the middle of my Flash Coins routine because of "dry heat"....lol

Eric Ill see you in september with Mickey. by the way you are still Godhandz..
remember your roots LOL
vinny

Eric -

Are you planning on adding a workshop to the October 11 date at Barry's? As you probably surmised, I'm hoping the answer is yes.

Thanks,
- Scott

I don't think I'll be offering the workshop at Barry's. I will be holding a pretty late session that night though. It should be a pretty good time.

Eric I'll see you at Bob littles and Kutztown.

Congrats and wish you all the success my friend.

Todd

It's funny you say that Vinny. I have been working hard to shed that username, because I'm not as arrogant as a name like Godhandz would imply. For those who know the history behind why I chose that name, it wasn't for theological reasons or because I don't' think my $hit stinks, but rather it was the name of a video game character. I dug the name and decided to use it on an online forum, Cheaterscheater.com and ended up using it for years.

So, I rememer my roots, and how Vinny was nice enough to give me an opportunity to shine on his La Famiglia DVD. I'm just trying to professionally separate myself from a pretentious pseudonym.

That's fine as long as you do not forget la famiglia.
