Hey, Matt!
How are you? Sounds like you're doing well. That's cool you get to spend so much time playing tennis now. I'm living in Boynton Beach right now but I think this is going to be my last year in Florida. My girlfriend and I are planning on moving to Portland so I can pursue magic full-time and get a change of scenery. Nice videos, man. Very smooth. You've gotten really good. Lately I've been working on using the cop in real performances. It's my favorite move to play with right now. It feels a bit gutsy at first, but once you get used to doing it in front of a real audience you can do miracles with it. Daniel Madison uses it in an effect called Bad Influence that I'm just in love with right now. I also just started performing Lit by Dan Hauss and Dan White. This little effect gets insane reactions. Much bigger an impact than I could have imagined. Departure Ring Flight is the other piece I'm playing with. So practical, and so strong. I'm trying not to put too much on my plate at the moment so that it's cleared when True Astonishments comes out. I love Paul Harris's work. Sounds like you're quite the card man--those aren't easy sleights you're working with.
Happy to hear from you, Matt. Write anytime. If you're on myspace my url is myspace.com/matlavore.
