The Game:

It's can't be done" you exclaim. This is sure to get your marks attention. "There is no way it can be done." after saying this a few times the question of what the heck you are talking about is sure to come up. You can't pick up a shot of whiskey without spilling a drop. Your mark is sure to think he can, and the challenge starts. The whiskey is poured, and you go over the rules. You can't spill a drop, I won't push you or anything like that. They will of course say okay. Well why don't you put your money where your mouth is, a bet is made. Who could say no, it sounds so easy.

Surprise surprise... :)

Well okay theres no big surprise or something just I haven't blogged in a while. Been doing lots since my last blog! Lets see, I had my first gig which was totally awesome! Great experience! I have purchased much more haha and most of those have been reviewed. Getting really hooked on Tarbells lately! I has sooo much stuff it isn't funny, everything from sleight of hand to mentalism to stage illusions and everything in between and not only that has a tonne of good advice on all types of theory ect! For something so old its seems very modern to me when reading it! Single greatest purchase ever! I don't know how I could ever review them... all I could say is BUY NOW! Such a great investment. Some more things... well I am doing the club stage show which is totally wicked! will be great experience as I've never done a stage routine before! I have also come up with a genius idea for a silent to music stage routine for myself (a short one, like 10mins or so) which i only need to figure out a WOW ending for it and get some good royalty free music! I hope to get this done by the end of the year to enter it into the local talent contest. :) 

Another cool thing that has happened is I went to the Michael Finney Lecture! now this was A MA ZING! Super awesome, super funny and super nice guy! :) He didn't teach any tricks really in his lecture as it was all about performance, comedy ect, though he taught us how to make a couple nifty card gimmicks. He is touring New Zealand doing a show at the moment, hopefully I can go see one of the shows! Having raised almost $1 000 000 for kids with disadvantages since 1996 he has done a LOT of giving back! Which is really cool to hear about.

Hello Tmn,

We'll It's been awhile and I have been working hard on a lot of things. One thing I've been working on is a little kit about half the size of a vhs tape. It contains everything I need to make all my effects, even to create. Now this came to me in preparation for the Nomad trip.

The way women are viewed

Something I've been noticing a lot since I got into magic is the way men view females in the world of magic.

Proposition Bets?

I know loads of proposition bets, maybe too many. I was wondering if it was something TMN might be interested in. I was thinking a new prop bet every week. What is everyone's thoughts on this?

I'm excited. Today we have our first performance of our new show. We've worked on it for more than a year! Friday we had our try-out and everybody was full of good words on it.

Today the weather isn't that good and the show will be in open air. So let us hope that I will not rain!

Wow! Its been a while since I last blogged. kinda going through withdrawal.  So here is what I've gone through so far this month...where to begin?

Well let me first start my saying a HUGH THANK YOU To V and all the staff at TMN for having selected me as member of the month for July.  I had the opportunity to purchase some great magic from ExoMagic thanks to the helpful guidance of Alex from ExoMagic.  I received Audio and Liquid Metal.  I will be doing reviews on them both soon.

My first full month as an active TMN memeber (UK version :P)

Posted by andrewjspeirs in Untagged

I had joined the month before, but with only a few days left of the month. So July was the first full month. And what a month it was!

I have been warmly welcomed by all the members here at TMN. It's a great site, with even better people.

My first full month as an active TMN memeber

Posted by TheMystifyer in Untagged 

TheMystifyer

Today is the close of the first full month of me actively using my TMN membership.  I had opened the account here several months ago and didn't do much with it.  Last month I decided to see what I can do here and how it can help me.  I have to say Ive been blown away!

What took me so long to really embrace this experience I will never understand.  This last month has been monumental for me.  I have had so many people share their wisdom, encouragement, and wit.  I enjoy reading replys to my blogs, comments, pics, & Videos.  I have used the momentum to go ahead and advertise my site here, create and edit 2 new videos thanks to everyones input, and take several other steps towards taking my career to the next level.
