Tuesday

The cable access shoot went well enough. Didn't do that much. Performed an eight handed poker deal, placing the 4 aces in any hand named. Did a little second dealing demonstration and that was about it. Dan the guy whose show I was on, "Major Pixel" has expressed some interest in being my agent. It would be nice if he could get me some gigs. But, after over two decades in the biz. . . I never hold my breath.

After the shoot I came home and hosted the Tuesday night session. Randy was back from his honeymoon in Croatia, Steve was back from his rock n roll wedding anniversary in Columbus, OH and Jose was back from working on an investment home he's fixing up. Tim showed up sporting the nice table he built. He didn't want to admit it, but he's a tall guy and the table is too short for him. We had a couple new guys show up. Edward, some freak I met at the market and his psychic healer buddy who looked like he'd just come from a Grateful Dead Show. Edward showed the gang a handful of rusty split fans. It's obvious he worked on this stuff a lot at some point, and he seems interested in getting his chops back. Jose, Steve and Randy also worked on some fanning, back palming and other card manipulations. Steve has this pretty production where he squeezes out cards. Pretty stuff.
We covered forces, spending a bit of time of the psychology and method behind the classic force. Edward asked about the Misers Dream, I demonstrated the Sol Stone version from Tarbell 7 and he showed the gang a bit of stuff he has been working on.

Tim did his Cups and Balls routine. We talked about the Faro Shuffle and it's applications in poker deals. We wrapped up around midnight. I tied off, shot some heroin and passed out in a puddle of my own puke.
