The Magic Cafe Forums

I made my living doing card manipulations and billiard balls and a rope trick, a few silks, for about 16 years straight. Then off and on with magic for the rest of the time. Never performing for magicians. With bands, in between sets, private clubs, banquets, etc. No magic conventions, no lectures after doing 1, no magic contests. I just happen to not enjoy performing for magicians.

Anyway, one night way out in the Hamptons, a beautiful women dressed in black leather came back after my show and told me she was a Blackjack dealer in Vegas and never saw anyone handle cards the way I did. Then she gave me a $200.00 tip. She was with some guy who looked really rich, so it ended there but it is still a great memory.

Practice hard guys.
