Tarantulas anyone?

Possibly the best way to propose when presenting your ring?!? Maybe.

I must get this!!

Gloomy days….could do with a bit of magic

Somehow, gloomy days tend to carry their atmosphere over to my personal activities on that day. It’s not exaclty the fact that it’s “gloomy” that makes me depressed, it’s how it finds it way into some normal or even happy activity I’m doing and somehow messes it up slightly. Buying my computer parts on a cold and rainy day is no fun.

And not to mention that the financial world is also facing some rather gloomy days, with the AIG bailout and the aftermath effects of subprime. The Australian dollar has also fell so much, making it harder for me to want to purchase some material from the US online, namely my magic supplies. Speaking of which, for those of you who don’t know, I have been into magic tricks for probably around 9-10 years now. And yet I bet a lot of you who do know are wondering why I don’t seem to perform for you at all. Some might think that I only buy and research this stuff just to know how it’s done, but I assure you this is not really the case, I enjoy performing magic, it makes me happy and brings entertainment to others. It’s a long story how I took interest at the start though, but in short it’s because of an Uncle who showed these tricks to me, and I felt so happy and entertained seeing them, and felt magic was a really cool thing . I wished I could do the same and entertain others, letting them know such cool things can be done!

As a magician, I will honestly say I have probably lost some of my skill due to lack of practice, and probably even confidence as well, greatly thanks to the busyness of uni.  Because of this, I would hate to expose a trick due to my lack of practice, and so I have somewhat stopped performing for quite some time. But as with the case for me, from time to time I do some purchases of magic material I find worthwhile. Whilst I pray for the Aussie dollar to somewhat go back up to at least a somewhat equilibrium state, here are the effects I’m interested in!

Tattoo Joe:

Apparently make ANY tattoo image appear on your arm, then magically vanish once again with your arm clean. Imagine the possibilities!

Flow:

Defy the laws of gravity using water as a demonstration…see for yourself.

Extreme Burn:

A superb visual bill switch trick. No more dodgy moves and bill folding! (I believe Cyril Takayama, a famous magician, did this trick on his latest magic revolution special.)

And yes, I do own tonnes more effects just as equally amazing, I know I will find the time to practice and show you all some time. And now as for my magic to this gloomy and cold day….gonna go take a nice long shower.
