Today is my 2nd Anniversary here on TMC. I cannot believe all that I have learned in those two years. My show content and business pursuits have been strongly influenced by all of the helpful input from others here. I have been exposed to so much great information that has allowed me to develop and structure my business.

The people I would like to thank are too many to list. I am sure many do not even know that their posts were so influencial and helpful to me. I would like to mention Eric - The Great Zucchini, as he extended himself in a personal way and he is an awesome individual.

What I like most about TMC:
The exposure to ideas, concepts, new products, and challanges.
The words of wisdom from vetrans who remind us there are no short cuts (although I would argue that TMC is a giant short cut).
The access to the thoughts and words of those who develop and market magic effects and marketing materials is incredible. This has allowed me to spend wisely.
The reality checks that none of us are perfect and mistakes will be made along the way.
The advice on how to perform and get the strongest reactions from our audiences.
The interesting posts that keep me interested in magic.
The lively discussions that challange the way I think.
The fact that people who have achieved success are so willing to take time to share.

Thanks all...looking forward to year three.

I am just getting started as a registered member of TMC and I can already see what a valuable resource it has become. No matter what questions, problems or issues you may have... there are those who have the experience and knowledge to address them. Of course many of the responses involve conflicting opinions, but that too is valuable to be able to form a better educated opinion of your own. I am thankful for TMC and those of you that make it the priceless information source that it is.

Charlie, you are wise beyond your years, buddy. Great post

Happy 2nd Anniversary Charlie.

The Magic Café is a wonderful place!
