Magic, Magic & More Magic

Really enjoyed working the Fenix last weekend. I am always challenging myself to do routines that I used to perform, but may not be in my current working repertoire. Next thing you know they're back on the A list. . . . if only for a night, a week or a month. Last weekend I performed a few oldies but goodies. I did Slydini's Cigarette Fantasy (standing up). I also did his 3 piece torn and restored cigarette. The revolve vanish into the pouch was da shit. Dim lighting and fucked up audiences didn't hurt either.

Saturday night the main stage headliner was a band called the Misfits. Kind of puck rock I guess. Brought in an interesting clientele. Smoking my cigar and drinking my Crown Royal I also performed the multiplying golf balls, the serpent silk and silk and silver. Broke out the glow sticks and did borrowed ring on glow stick. It was a variation of the ring on chopstick that Sol Stone taught all those many years ago at Reuben's Deli . I then did some ring on cord stuff using the glow bracelets.

I just finished up an IM conversation with Mike Gallo. He remembers those great days in New York City. We were both there in 1983. I'm bummed to not be going to the "52" Get-Together this year in Buffalo. But I guess it's better to make money than spend it. It's the same weekend that I'll be doing my lecture. Oh well, C'est la vie. It's all good.
