Hey guys it's me again!
Well today is here the show is tonight and it's going to be a huge turnout of people for the birthday party it is a friends sisters birthday so its not a real serious professional gig but because of the large amount of people going I feel like I am probably going to be a little nervous. I have my routine Down I have rehearsed it many times and I like how all the tricks work there way into each other! I know a little bit of nerves are a good thing! But if anybody has tips on how to stop your hands from shaking or how to overcome the nervousness fast? Thanks for all who is reading and responding hope to hear from you guys soon!!

If you are like most, the more confidence you gain, the less you will shake. This is something you have to experience on your own. You can do it! Go out there and do a good job!

After you set up your show and you know that everything is ready. STOP thinking about it!! If you do, you will worry yourself into a frazzle. Go to a private place, find a mirror and make funny faces at yourself. Shake your hands, jump up and down, and turn that nervous energy into positive show energy. Don't bottle it up. Let it bust out of you when you hit the stage. Give it to the audience.

You know your material. Now prove it to yourself!

Hello Mr.Baker
Just as a follow up just wanted to let you know the show went fantastic I was nervous but once I got going I had to much fun to become nervous thanks for the advice!

Congratulations!

See! Michael would never steer a fellow Illinoisian (sp?) wrong!
