Okay. I spent the majority of last year on a cardistry bender. Made a video and everything; though not very well liked.
This year, it's 90% magic. I REALLY want to perform at the children's hospital this year. Even if it is all prop magic. Chomping at the bit. That and I want to say I made an 'all Tenyo childrens show'.
Thing is, we are purchasing our first (and last) house and should be moved in by the summer. I'm not sure what my magic budget will look like, as well as time to make it to the hospital to volunteer; with all of my hospital appointments, appointments with the housing company, the twins being in school. It's going to be real hit-and-miss until we move.
So I spoke with the missus that I wouldn't touch the subject until we are finally settled in and when the kids are back in school. Gives me some more time to practice and MAYBE acquire some more Tenyo by that time. I really only need two-three more Tenyo for the show, some specialized fabric and some tailoring to turn them into handkerchiefs of various sizes. But I'm REALLY shooting for about 6 Tenyo by the time I start
What can you do, I like my performance Tenyo.
I received some magic books in Christmas by a great magician friend and I want to learn the basics of coin magic, and start gravitating towards card magic eventually (since cards CANNOT be sanitized in a hospital, so no card work there...yet).
I have a few more ideas I want to publish on the Wire. I'm working on one as we speak called 'Shovel'. Maybe publish a coin flourish or two for free. I would like to publish a sort of card flourish 'bundle' at the end of the year called 'DIG!' (I'm using the end of the year more of as a non-stressful goal for myself; not as much a marketing gimmick. But it helps.)
I would also like to look healthier and less...Gollum-like. I was trying to do that during Christmas by REALLY messed my back up doing crunches and have to see the doctor on Tuesday. Either my back gets fixed or I get a Bane mask. Either way, I win. That would be great performing magic in the voice of Bane.
'Tell everyone...who signed this card.'
'...Only me.'
'Only you...Thank you. Good spectator.'

'...This deck is armed! This card is mobile! And the identity of the chosen card...is at the top of the deck! This is the Ambitious Card of your liberation!'
