My
little obsession with cardistry seems to have been sidelined in favour of a
brief flirtation with magic. This is, of course, what happens to me with my
weird little whatever-neurodiversity-it-might-be-controlled-by brain - I get
completely fixated on something and think I'll never stop thinking about it,
and then that morphs into a concentrated focus on something else. So at least
this one has a bit of a link to the previous one, it's not as if I've swapped
learning French for studying aboriginal pottery from Tasmania. But it's still
the same old behaviour. But that's just the way I am.
So
having spent a while trying to perfect moves like the Boomerang Toss and the
Waterwheel, I am now spending my spare moments trying sleight of hand and card
forcing. With a much better degree of success, I must say. Thanks to a vast
array on online tutorials where magicians are happy to throw out the old belief
that 'we never reveal our tricks to anyone' I am now able to perform three
different card tricks that are all quite startling for people to see. They
weren't too hard to learn, but they are actually really impressive when you
pull them off in front of people.
Well... Mathew and Philippa were both impressed, anyway...
By the end of next year, I might not need to hire entertainers for our
clubrooms, I can just pay myself to do magic!
