Hey everyone out there in computer land! I just wanted to share my night with ya!
After about 25 minutes of driving in circles (not to mention the original 30 minute drive) I finally found the meeting hall where all the Houston magicians were. I walked up, met a few guys, and then walked in and sat in the back. From there on, I had such a great time! I barely had time to sit in a back seat before someone came up and kindly suggested I move on up closer. I ended up second row right up close to the lecture! There were probably give or take 30 people at the meeting.
Mr. Scott Wells (along with a few others) lectured tonight about gaffed coin magic, and gaffed coins in general! After the lecture, they started talking business stuff, and asked if there were any new guests. I was the only one to raise my hand. They had me stand up and introduce myself (which for me was nerve racking). Before I could even get my rear end back into my seat I had 3 or 4 hands reaching my way to introduce themselves and meet me. I talked with a few guys, some of which were gawking over my 125s! We shared some coin magic ideas, and talked and then another man introduced himself.
He noticed rubber bands on my wrist and asked what I do with them. I showed him raw linkage and stairway! He said he LOVED the way I performed Stairway. Then came the last part. They passed out a sign up sheet for whoever wanted to perform to sign up. They wanted me to, but I declined. All the performances went thru, and they asked if anyone else wanted to perform. About six eyes looked at me. I declined again as I was nervous. I'm not sure how they did it, but they talked me into doing stairway. I did it, and they loved it. The strange thing is that I wasn't shaking at all. Everything went great!
I ended up chatting with a few guys afterward. From what they were saying, they all hang with Danny Garcia and Marcus Eddie all the time! I found out that Danny was supposed to be there tonight, but got sick. I also found out that Michael Ammar is going to be at our meeting in February!
I just wanted to share this! I met some great people, all of which were very kind, and encouraging people. The magic community is small, but very strong! I cannot wait until the next meeting!
