Anxious Without Anxiety
Anxious about what you ask? I'll tell you.
Anxious about performing this new routine developed by myself and Mr. Jeetendra Lalchandani (try committing that one to memory). I really just want to see how it plays. See, a routine never really starts to grow until after its been performed, and by George, I want to give birth to this one. It's really the first thing I've ever done that's completley original (though inspired by others, namely Derren Brown, but then again, who isn't?). Methodology, performance, it's all me (and G). And that feels good. Really good. Once you break down that wall and are able to create on your own, you've finally opened the door onto everything. Especially in a realm like magic, where anything is possible to begin with. God I love this hobby.
And we have one confirmed show - another program in Seneca. But this time, with a decidedly more mentalist feel. It's gonna be good. I just have a feeling that it will be good. Especially because anyone who remembers from last semester (and apparently there's a lot of them, ask they asked for me by name), is expecting card tricks and coin tricks, etc. But now we're coming from a completely different angle, a new theory, a new way of operating. And I am pumped...PUMPED I tell you...to get started on it. I really haven't felt this excited about something in magic for a long time. Card tricks have lately been leaving me cold. Coin tricks were never particularly exciting. So...this is good. Really good. Will I get into all the theories and ideas that go into this new-school kind of mentalism that I'm so excited about? I could, but I won't. Putting you to sleep isn't entertaining unless there's other people around to witness and its intentional.
Now, on a more practical level, I need three things from you faithful readers. I've done nothing but give to you people. You owe me.

Needs For The Advancement Of Psychological Illusion, Magical Artistry, And Independent Student Cinema
- Demonfish Studios and A Memory Of Dan Productions both need websites. Anyone willing to do this for us, to our satisfaction as "The greatest website a couple of Binghamton students can afford" will be awarded a free lunch at Moe's, or $5, whichever comes first.
- Related, but not exactly the same, I need a website touting my expertise in the first two areas listed in the title of this list. The same offer stands as for #1. If you do both, I'll throw in, oh I don't know, something worthwhile.
- I need a place for the performance and filming of stuff for the next special. Contact me for details.
I could also use a lot of other stuff. But I don't want to burden you people. Get crackin -- you've got a lot to work on.
...please?
...please?
