What, I'm more dashingly handsome than last year?

Ok,
That was a magic convention. I think I'll probably sleep for a week. KG |

Great seeing everyone and making new friends along the way - now it's time to actually get some sleep.

Sleep? That is for the weak! Hotdog anyone ? Howabout some fudge? Last night was the first night I got more than 4 hours sleep in the last 5 days. Wow, that was serious fun!
If you ever get to a point where words have no meaning, you're probably talking to a dog.

Bob White, who's a working pro from Dallas came out to the Golden Gate Gathering this year.
I knew him only by his reputation and I'd seen his DVDs. They are all simply awesome. Bob's take on the laundry ticket, egg bag and cups/balls is world-class stuff. If you want to work on these effects or card magic!!! You need to see his stuff. When I started to communicate with him, via the phone, about ten months ago, it was a very different man than I'd seen on the DVDs. He's had a stroke and it took a toll. Initially Bob was reluctant to come out, very reluctant. I don't know all the details, but Bob did agree to lecture for us and made it out to the convention. Throughout the convention he was charming and entertained the throngs that sprung up around him. Bob's lecture was . . . heavenly. He did a fantastic job. Every attendee who spoke of it, to me, was blown away. He continued to fool people as he tried to explain one of his false counts. He was explaining them just fine. The moves were simply too deceptive in his hands. I think he wanted to include the Cups in his lecture. I believe with the number of sequences in the routine he thought he could no longer do the effect justice. He left it out of the lecture. End of the last night of the convention I busted out my table to do the cups for him. Just a few of us were outside; Jared Kopf, Bob, Mike Feldman and me. I did my routine and then . . . He got Jared to bring out his P&L cups and explained to us how he'd given them to Jared. There was something in the San Francisco air that night though, I swear it. In the middle of his discussion of the cups he borrowed a coat from Mike Feldman and . . . He busted out the finest performance of that trick I've even been allowed to see. Nary a slip, not an awkward moment. That night Bob White and sleight-of-hand magic kicked heart disease square in the ass! Most magical moment of my life. |

Kent's right, Bob White was a real highlight but there were many more. Each of the lecturers did a phenomenal job and brought something special to our little convention. Also, for those that missed it, themagicbroadcast.com, launched during our opening night and did a live show from our convention on saturday night which was a ton of fun. Between the lectures and sessioning in the hotel, I can honestly say, I saw more good magic during this last weekend than I've seen in years and I'm inspired to be better.

GGG was one amazing convention. Paul Vigil hurt my brain so badly that I can no longer remember my address. Bob White proved that nothing short of a nuclear bomb is going to prevent him from doing the most mind-boggling sleight-of-hand imaginable. Kent Gunn still has me wondering where those ***ed final loads came from. And Lee Asher gave me eye-burn. His weapon? Pulp Friction on
'roids. The only parts of San Francisco I saw were the hotel, the diner, a Mexican food joint, and the airport. (Screw you Golden Gate Bridge: you can't find my card). Kent and company should be proud. I was so lucky to have been there. Thanks guys. Jared |
