Hi Santa,
I have a big wish list this year…here are my top 10 wishes for magicians in 2010.
1) Santa, I wish magicians would stop asking what tricks are good for girls. That is like asking what music is good for girls, or what food? Entertainment is entertainment…what is good for men, is good for women. If you are designing “pick up” tricks…well, you are a dirt bag…I bet you didn’t score Mrs. Clause by doing “Pressure”.
2) I want magicians to realize that good magic looks like magic…not like flourishes, flourishing is another art form that uses the same prop…but it is NOT magic.
3) I wish North American magicians would stop using the Hindu shuffle…it is a foreign shuffle, and using it just to force a card on the bottom is just poor technique!
4) I wish magicians would stop asking what cards we use, or what my favourite is, or what deck is best for flourishes, shuffling, or faros! The tool is only as good as the tool that uses it.
5) I wish magicians realize how unnatural many coin magic moves are…Santa…hand washing looks like karate!
6) I wish young magicians that taped their magic, actually WATCHED their videos with a critical eye before they posted them for feedback? Then when they get negative feedback because it is so sloppy…THEY get angry…when really, they should be sorry for wasting people’s time.
7) I wish that we had a rating approval system on T11, because sometimes I don’t want to waste my words, or get into a verbal joust, but still tell people how stupid their comments are.
8) I would want everyone to own a deck of Jerry's Nuggets...so they can stop harassing me for mine.
9) I would like

10) Santa, my last wish is to go to Magic-con – it is all I want this year…and perhaps some wicked tricks to pick up girls!
