I was very moved by this email to me and wanted to share it, this is perhaps the darkest but most urgent piece in the book. I’ve left the name out for privacy:
Dear Walt, Wanted you to know the considerable impact that performing my adaptation of The Shadow Death had at last weekend's Pride Houston Festival: http://pridehouston.org/ . I learned the presentation from your extraordinary book, Tales of Enchantment. I initially seized the participants' attention with Jeff McBride's Magic Wishing Rainbow & followed with The Shadow Death. At the least, participants told me with wonder, "I don't know what just happened". The strongest reaction was tears. We've all shed them due to the HIV/AIDS plague. Was pleased that not a soul asked, 'How did you do that?". Thanks for all you do to by sharing of the art of magic. Look forward to seeing you perform in person someday. Happy & safe 4th of July to you & yours. Regards, “A Reader” ---------------------- Dear Reader! I was so happy you took the time to learn The Shadow Death, and then your kindness to share your experience with me. Magic authors and dealers tend to hear the negative things and rarely the wonderful ones. You are the reason I wrote the book. The one in probably more than a thousand that have the interest and courage to perform an edgy (but effective) piece like this one! It means a lot. The July issue of Genii has a long review by Jamy Ian Swiss, I am flattered he took time to read the book, think about the book, and write his thoughts up for Genii. Jamy and I sometimes look at magic from different angles, but that is why I wrote the book to. I hope you’ll continue to perform the piece. Magically, Walt |

I like the idea that your "Reader" had in combining that effect with Magic Wishing Rainbow from Jeff. I will have to work on that because I have performed both of those effects, getting the same types of reactions from audiences. Very powerful and very unique. I can see where they would work very well together in a presentation.
Thanks for sharing that e-mail, and again, thanks for writing that book - one of the favorites on my bookshelf! |

Can't do better than tears.
Only a blank signed cheque ("Check" to my American friends ) trumps tears. David
