In my last blog entry, I totally spaced on something awesome. I performed magic on the radio a couple weeks ago! The Tom and Emily Morning Show on 95.1 WIIL Rock plays daily, and every month or so they bring on an "expert" in some field and do "Ask the Expert." I was brought on as the expert magician!
I performed two tricks while there. The first one was moving cards from Tom (the main personality's) pocket to Duco's pocket (the comic relief). Oh, and I did it without touching anybody. It's a classic magic plot called Cards Across.
The second trick was the one that was filmed. I gave Tom a deck of cards, and told him that before I entered the studio, I turned one card backwards. It would be the only one face down. Tom then had a caller call in and name ANY card they wanted. It was a perfect match. Here's the link to the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSQIqBK9rl0
This week has been a challenge for me because I decided to try the Dr. Oz Three-Day Detox. Woof. Yay for my blender. I had four drinks a day: breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a snack shake (repeating one of the other drinks) consisting of things like kale, spinach, cucumber, raspberry, blueberry, crushed pepper, coconut water, almond milk, etc... They weren't that bad tasting. I'm a texture guy though. *shivers* 'nuff said.
Last night, my friend Joe Diamond performed his first EVER magic lecture for my club, the ACEs Magic Club. If I may say, it absolutely rocked. I was thrilled as a booker, impressed as a magician, and proud as a friend. Great Job Joe!
I feel as though this entry on my blog is a bit scattered, but that is where my brain is at the moment. I have a lot of things in the works, and a lot on my mind.
On that note, I will leave you with a quote from my friend Bizzaro the Optical Illusionist: Normal is just a setting on the dryer.
Until next time
