I'm Still Here

Hey, it's only been about a month since I posted. That's actually not too bad for me!

It's just going to be a quick update before I head off to work.

Not too much news to report. I've got a lot that I need to do as far as magic goes, but I have actually done very little.

There's a monthly magic show that I've been part of for the past few months, so that's been a lot of fun. It's been forcing me to get up in front of people on a regular basis and perform. The people I've met are fantastic and even though it's a hell of a drive for me to get to (2 hours one way) I'm glad I've been going.

The next show is the beginning of May. I think I'm going to do my mail bag escape for the first time in a couple years. The last time I did it for my old boss's Masonic lodge the lock got stuck. I think I wrote about that before. Hopefully this time goes better.

I've been doing more with escapes recently. I think I've got a way to present them that I don't hate. It's going to take some work to pull off like I want to, but we'll see if I can follow through with it and make something happen.

The festival I performed at last summer is coming up again and I've got myself in. I have a different plan for this year. I'm going to try to actually do shows and have showtimes and see if I can pull a crowd that way as opposed to trying to build a crowd from the little trickle that was coming by. Hopefully it won't rain like hell this year and the crowds will be better.

Looking toward the future, I'm almost ready to make one of the two announcements I've been teasing for a while. One of them is more personal and one is more magic related, and I don't know if one is actually going to happen in a timely fashion. Stay tuned.

Eva can I see bees in a cave? Random, I know but I want to put something out there while I'm thinking of it. That's a palindrome, it reads the same forwards and backwards. Is there a term for a sentence where the words read the same backwards and forwards, but the letters don't? Something like "I am, am I?" or "Fuck you, you fuck!" Is that just a palindrome too? I know the chances of someone reading this and giving me an answer are so small they're nonexistent, but I wanted to get it out there in case.

So long for now, I've gotta get ready for the day job. I've got a couple things to talk about in the near future, hopefully I can get things up early next week. Thanks for sticking around.
