TEWSDAY.....
Yet again another day has passed, and the Penguinmagic.com forums are still owned. SpookClub.org, fortunately has not been touched, but someone in the magic community is not a happy camper. Oh, well, maybe in some odd way this will help SpookClub grow, not only in forum members, but also in sales and customers, for Wayno. He's a good guy and deserves this shop to be a success, and I have no doubt it will be.
Today I had some lunch guests, my wife, little girl, mother-in-law and Maria ( a friend I haven't seen in a while.). I broke away from surfing the web, and trying to beat my high score at curve ball to eat lunch and visit with all of them. Took a whole hour, I usually don’t take a lunch, but hey, it’s Christmas time. I felt a little guilty about wanting to get back to the web surfing, I guess I do it to much.
While at work I had a thought on a website intro I mught try and use, it is in Flash;
A spaceship (like from my favorite martian) stops from light speed, and you see there is a monkey in the spaceship, the spaceship lands in a field, climbs out of the ship and starts hopping up and down screaming (as monkeys do), then craps in his hand an throws it at the screen (as monkeys do), as the poop slides down the screen it reveals the menu for the site.
I know this is childish and weird, but hey, show me a site that has this as an intro
I found out that Gigi is staying the night at my mother-in-laws tonite, so we have the house all to ourself, and as you would guess Shell is on the couch watching season 2 of Alias, and I am reading magic books, watching dvd’s for routine material, and typing this blog out. Truly after you’ve been married a while, 7 years for me, things just aren’t like the honeymoon. I think it is actually better, but that’s after you get over the rough parts, which everyone has, it just comes in different forms. For some it’s infidelity, for others it’s lack of respect, for some it’s drinking from the milk carton but ultimately you have to get used to each other, and comfortable. It has taken us a while, but we found our rut, and were stuck! J So I guess, I will try and get through a few levels, on my console game, while keeping an eye on the forum occasionally.
Lately I have really been into the cups and balls, when done right they are absolutely beautiful, of course when done wrong, they just look like crap. That is why I love them, why they appeal to me, it is all hero or zero with them. Once you learn the mechanics, and a few other moves, you can create an absolutely stunning performance that will stand out by itself. Should you be interested in cup routines, check out an Indian cup routine, not only hard, but man you will respect the fire out of the performer if done right. I have been studying a routine by a magi named Les Greenhalgh, he issued this particular routine in 1974, one year and four months after I was born, but it is still relevant today. If you can use a set of Indian cups, you can perform about any cup routine with regular cups. Also Kirk Stiles, had some loading techniques that help out on the Indian Cups.
That's about it for today guys, hopefully, I can start giving more info on some tricks, tips, and maybe even advice. Magic wise of course, not on life, God knows you don't want life advice from me. Hell I am an unmedicated manic depressive, who just hopes to stay manic more often than not........that's actually sad but true. I can't stand anti-depressants, but isn't that what a clown is supposed to be? ;)
Happiness is an IT that doesn't snap!
