One Last Fuck For Fucks Sake
Did I say fuck you to Tim Ellis and James L. Clark?
Your fuck all moral crusades deserve a rocket ship up both your asses.
Serious
okay, let me be serious for a minute. you may have noticed some of your favorite sites are down today, in protest of the SOPA/PIPA bills being proposed this november. they are under the guise of ending piracy, but by turning regulatory power over to corporations, which means new net businesses could be choked and forced out of business, or information flow could be blocked or prohibited or you...

Amazing how the majority by far seems to be dick slapping the ignorant fools that try to pass X to stop piracy.
PS. Fuck you too James Clark.
A Blog About Card Magic: Blogospherical →
Ha! I’ll be talking some magic here and there. It’s assured. Actually I made a post a couple of days ago and added a few magic bits to the “psychology”. I found my first wordpress app bug! All gone! They patched it at least.
I’m just out of juice brother. I have so much inside me about these other topics, which I assure you apply to magic. I’ve done...
Not Dead
Hey all. I decided to start a new blog for a few reasons.
-The WordPress app is really great on a tablet.
-A more refined and polished blog, different than in the past. The first was my Mr. Hyde, the second here was more of a random and fun communal.
-Starting fresh just feels good! Shifting gears!
This blog will not be about magic at it’s core, but i assure that most magicians can get...

Ps
Thanks you for dealing with my horrid grammer and spelling. I’m aware this makes you look illiterate and or foolish. I dislike reading what I’ve written twice.
Ping Pong
You know that silly saying that some people will seek attention….be positive or negative, it’s still attention? There may be truth in that idea in changing it to “implanting” some kind of emotional value…positive or negative.
There was a girl a couple of weeks ago, who by far is the lady as that is the kind of girl you’d think “not many of her kind go...
I Think We're Alone Now
I just watched a strange documentary about a 50 year old man with Aspergers and a “intersexual” (hermaphrodite) that are obsessed with that crappy pop star from th 80’s called Tiffany.
At first glance it is very easy to to point these guys out as utter freaks. By the end of this rather boring movie, I found that in reality they are just open about things most people...
Nutty Nuts
Jerry Lewis fucking sucks.

I've Been Pondering
I’ve been pondering something new. I’m still the card guy on the weekends, just a little less than years previous.
Anyway….I decided I’m going to try something new…I think Origami. The idea is less about “what I’m doing vs magic” and more about how people react. Obviously origami isn’t as exciting but it has merits magic can’t...
Just In Case
There may be one guy out there that analyses my posts a bit too far and says “Ah ha! Your a douche hippopotami” (that’s a double face big beasted bastard). After all like 4 people still read my stuff.
Emotions are MOSTLY worthless in my opinion. Over rated and confusing in modern society shall we say. When I say things like “be angry” this is just the nature...
Be Mad, But Smile!
So I caught up on the post below about Shin whatever the fuck a the Cafe.
Why do so many magicians insist on always being “nice”. It drives me berzerk.
“Shin is an asshole because he lied about his product more than once”
Then you an always bet.
“Come on now guys. He’s new, and blah blah rainbows, puppy dogs and popcorn”.
I may only be a...

Hats off to Andrew for writing such a complete article. Very thorough!
Hats off also to Josh Jay.
You too Roland!
This is why I love blogging. When an important topic comes up, sometimes the circle comes around complete from the watchers and the publishers.
Emotion Control
I’ve always pondered if emotion truly has any value. Granted, in our society oddly people preach the virtues of “following your heart”, and other terms that really make no sense.
I’ve lived in the same area roughly a decade now. This is the first time in my life I haven’t moved within about 5 years. It may go without saying being I go out so much I know shall we...
YSM Bro
Roland’s YSM had a message I think. Sure we poked fun a little bit, but what is it we were all really laughing at?
Here’s a deep dark secret I’ve held for at least a decade. Most all of us are about the same when it comes to so called “talent or skills” in magic. Magic in it’s form really doesn’t have that much of a variant to me when we all go...
Pretty Much
Her Diary: Tonight, I thought my husband was acting weird. We had made plans to meet at a nice restaurant for dinner. I was shopping with my friends all day long, so I thought he was upset at the fact that I was a bit late, but he made no comment on it. Conversation wasn’t flowing, so I suggested that we go somewhere quiet so we could talk. He agreed, but he didn’t say much. ...
Not So Hardcore
I’ve been magishing less and less anymore. A handful here and there during the week is about it. Lately my pursuits have been fairly greedy for lack of a better term. Reading many hours everyday, working out…that kind of thing. I must say I feel really good!
The hard part will be getting back in the swing like I use to. Which also brought about the question…will I? 20 some...
Clip
This is just more rough draft stuff. Please do not copy. This is copyrighted by myself and backed by Mr.T, Chuck Norris, and the saintly knowledge of placing the blame where it will do the most good. DON’T DO IT!
We all see ourselves as a distinct persona. When we were born we had no concept of ourselves being any certain handle such as shy or naive. Later we formed a picture of...
PS
I wouldn’t doubt those two shit wits would totally miss the point. They missed the whole point in the past anyway on what constitutes stealing, crime and punishment.

Not To Me
I’ve ponderd near my whole life why so few people tend to say anything against so called “This is sacred to me” talk. As if it’s rude to speak ones mind in any situation.
All these years I’ve offended few, at least that I know of. And fuck ‘em if they are offended. That aside 95 perecent of the time I’ll receive in kind “Your...

Looking Good
I’ve been taking a lot of time blue printing my book. I must say I’m getting excited about it. On many levels it’s a pain in the ass as an understatment. On the other hand it’s a good chance to be creative. I’ve given myself no time limit, and the good news on time is I am self employed which leaves me a bit more freedom to work.
Also I don’t care if I...
We Don't Got No Stinkin Teens
This is a little old now, but this kid is just stating what the magic world has thought.
In my case I was in a private forum a little before, but mainly right at Justin’s peak in popularity. To the point….Justin has been a grade A douche even when he was accepted by the masses (or so it appeared). I assure you he hasn’t “changed” it just came out more. ...
Whisk Tisk
Hey T11. From blurs to not mentioning angles. OK. You let the reviewers state this. That’s just a little wonky to me though. This Whisk thing is VERY angle sensitive.
Do we need to say this stuff? That we’d rather you were open on the problems just as much as the “This is the BEST color change you’ll ever use”.
Come on. Your a scum company still. Why not...
Lie Speller
No biggie. I just wanted to say that another simple idea that has been done many times is to mentally spell the card without any words. This is high impact and in essence was the simple idea that made “Mr. Fantasy” all the rage or so it seems from the Cafe years ago. Is a fair idea…but what a pain in the ass to set up…much less memorize.
List
As per a question raised today. Only rule was names we “should” know.

Inoculation Theory →
I’ve always thought this to be important on all levels, but with magic it’s one reason I stick with the non-show off, noob persona…at first.
Calm The Fuck Down
Aragon’s book.
Is it good? Sure
Is it great? No
Is it worth buying? Yes
Do the Cafe nut jobs go overboard with their new toys? As if you don’t know.
I mean fuck people. It’s not even close to the hype these guys are giving. The whole “destined to be legend” bullshit wears thin. It doesn’t hold even close to classic Kaufman books or a collected...
Goof Ball
Quick story.
Guy was sitting with me next to his wife. It was pretty obvious this guy thought he was a player while she was away for awhile. All this talk about “back in my day”….and I never asked or cared.
Fast forward. I move to the other side of the guy because of traffic and leave the ritual “I’m not gay” empty bar stool. That’s just something...
One Reason
Quick note on writing tonight.
As I’ve stated before most of those “PUA” books and products are incorrect.
Tonight I’ve been putting down some thoughts about evolution and sexual attaction. Rarely to never have I seen any of these guys talk much about a few realities.
The basis of one part is about looking at the mind as “sexy”. These PUA assholes...
Huh
I just found out one of the guys I hung out with last night played in that old band “Loverboy”.
So yeah. Neat-O.
Drunkards
Just a quick preachy post.
Watch that alcohol consumption in public. There is no way my night could have happened the way it did if I had been drinking “too much”. The two drinks I did have were bought by others. People buying others drinks is just a typical and obvious friendly thing to do. A little to relax on.
Just my honest opionion. Drinking makes you stupid. Big...
