Oh Oh Oh... It's magic... you know...

So this Saturday I was asked to perform some magic at my friend Nancy's 20th Birthday party (she's the girlfriend of my good friend Eric). I came in expecting to do some strolling magic while people did other things... bada bing... 45 minutes later take off (did I mention that I was really sick that day and could barely talk without coughing my head off), but the party was quite dull when I got there.

So three beers and an two hours later I finish (barely any coughing and with only one mistake), and everyone's up and chatting and doing party things. I mean I really held their attention for a LONG time. And when I get some of the tricks I had REALLY have been wanting to perform, it'll be a stellar show.

I did a lot of mentalism and a few card tricks... but it was (as is per usual) the small tricks that "killed em". I did a bubble trick, and they really liked that one, and the mentalism book trick was a real winner too.

Afterwards, Eric took me aside and told me that he was really happy with the performance and that I did a great job. Nancy was talking all night about my illusions.

She also requested that next year I do a fire/money trick. She told me I have a year to practice.

Oy.

On another note, I got ANIMAL CROSSING: CITY FOLK on Sunday and Jen played a bit after I did... and she's interested in playing it some more. That's cool. I also asked if she would be interested in doing a review with me this week and she agreed to that too. That's cool.

I'm still sick and STILL COUGHING but I am taking medication. And the medication makes my head not feel so stuffed up, but I am still hacking and coughing.

Sucks.

But I have my Animal Crossing.

Joy.
