I am heading out to Lima, Peru with my buddy Joshua Jay for what I hear is the biggest magic convention in Latin America. It’s called FLASOMA. So my blog is going to be kind of on the low upkeep for a week or so. Don’t worry though, I am going to be shooting a shit-load while I am there. By a shit-load I mean if I could put loads of shit in a jar and somehow that is equivalent of having cool magic, then I would have a shit-load of jars. Literally.
Stay tuned, I will try to get a video of something up this weekend before I head out Tuesday, but it will be worth the wait.
But if you can’t wait, I suggest you learn the Snap Change from this kid. He is really good at it. I am not making fun of it, I want people to learn magic in the best way possible. Many of you will think after watching this that I am very sarcastic, but I am truely not. Really. I’m not. This kid is great. Really.

The kid is more of a victim of the situation he has found himself in. The absence of a guide/mentor is obvious and the lack of negative criticism in his learning phase ( if any ) is glaring. Most of the comments at youtube page are useless except a few who have bothered to point out the mistakes. I hope he can see the point of it all because at this rate he obviously won't get a kick out of performing magic. I think he set out to not perform magic but to imitate the acts of some individuals he saw others finding supercool. Kind of why we started in the first place.

I agree that having a mentor helps out so much, but many don't have one. I didn't. What is missing with many kids doing magic now a days is the force to make them perform for real people. That is the main thing that will make you quit or make your magic better. Youtube makes you feel you are showing everyone how “cool” you are but you still have the wall being behind your computer that no one can really hurt your ego. Go out and show people what that kid showed and they will laugh at you. The point is, does it make you stronger and prove to them you can fool them? Many kids don't have the guts to go through with it.

I hope you have a fun time, and remember to post your shit load of stuff!
