I released my first 'ebook' in January and, spurred on by the very positive feedback I received, I have decided to write up some of my other routines.
Right now, my big 'thing' is to try and get my 'Royal Oil' routine written up (performance video
here if your interested). I made a post on Facebook stating it would be released in February, the reasoning being that if I put the 'deadline' out there in public, it would encourage me to just get on with it rather than procrastinating like I normally do! First draft is done (3000 words!) but this one is definitely going to need some pictures and perhaps some additional 'linked videos' to breakdown a few elements, so much more of a project than my first modest offering!
If there is one thing I've learned from all of this, it is that the guys like Lorayne, Bannon, Guastaferro etc who put out books on a regular basis deserve a lot more credit that they get. Writing magic is much harder than those guys make it look!
Great fun though!
On another note, I've also been working on an idea for a miniaturised 'card through window' type effect using the cellophane of the card box. Yes, I know there have been a few of these over the years, but this comes at the plot from a bit of an unusual angle in that it's not strictly the card which penetrates the cellophane. It's also pretty much self-working.... I don't really want to give too much away until I've worked out the kinks, but I'm just excited to share it!
Other than that, just the usual reading, learning, mucking about with cards and trying not to spend too much money on magic books!
