    How many people have used these products in the past week?

    This week I performed Factory Sealed about a million times, Distortion once, and I might of used the fan control from Joel Paschall's 1 on 1, but I'm not really sure since I use it so often. Oh I also performed Stigmata and Bullet once each.

    I'm taking acting classes at school right now. I highly reccommend that every magician takes them. David Blaine took them, look where he is now.

    Comedy and Why You Suck At It

    Is this a good excuse for NOT palming?

    I only palm a card when it's absolutely necessary. If you're not good at palming you should check out Joel Paschall's one on one about the fan control. It's great.

    What is magic? The threshold between trickery and artistry.

    I agree, but I'm going to say it anyway, because I think it's true. Whether you do tricks, or your an artist, I think priority number one is connecting to your audience, and entertaining them. If I'm doing a penetration I always say something like, "It's impossible to make solid pass through...
