I'm back writing again!!
I had hit a bit of a wall with magic and it's taken a while to get back into it. I felt like I wasn't making much progress. I was struggling with certain technical aspects and just finding performing difficult in general .
Advice from places like magicbunny.co.uk has been invaluable and the breakthrough came from a number of avenues.
I needed to start performing! I now do at least one effect a week for guys at work. I've been using either very simple effects or effects I know really well. This leads onto the second thing which has inspired me.
I attended my first magical society meeting.I was a bit timid at first but I was welcomed in. I learned so much from listening to Ted Lumby. Much about my choice of effects rather than the techinical aspects themselves.
The next three weeks were spent scouring my arsenal for simple, easy to follow effects then practicing and most importantly making sure I performed them. Mark Masons Workers Diary and Lawrence Turners ILC are 2 which i love performing as they are baffling, and in the case of ILC hilarious and perfectly suit my character.
My short term goal is get a tight close up set of 5 effects ( not all cards!) and I feel like I'm getting close.
This has been a bit wordy so here is a Halloween effect I have recorded. Hope you enjoy it
