Sometimes You Just Gotta Go For It

I just booked that show I talked about a couple weeks ago. I debated with myself for a long time, trying to decided if me saying I wasn't ready was just another excuse or was a real feeling. I finally decided that if I could talk them into doing table hopping instead of all eyes on me for an hour, I'd do it.

I'm in the process of developing a parlor-ish show, but there's no way in hell I would feel comfortable doing it that quickly. Probably just another excuse, but it is what it is. For now, I'm sticking with the close-up that I'm comfortable with. Hell, I could probably just jazz an hour but I'm not going to try it.

Long story short, they said walkaround would be fine and they agreed to my price without even blinking, so I guess I've got a show to do. I'll let you know how it goes. I've actually got two performances lined up here, so I guess I'm finally getting back into the swing of things.

I'm almost ready to make an announcement. I'd say stay tuned, but my pageviews are showing that nobody's tuning in the first place. So tune in then stay tuned.

Magician Gets Punched

A few days ago, I went to a coffee shop to check out a magic show. One of the performers pulled this guy up from the audience to help with a trick who was absolutely hilarious. I wish I had thought to record more of the trick, but I only got the last bit after he failed to find the card.

I don't know if this is funny without the context of his whole interaction with the magician or not, but it was awesome at the time. It made me think that if I were going to do something like this myself, I'd try to come up with a way of scripting it to avoid getting such a wallop. Or maybe pick a kid or something, I dunno.
