Day 1

I'm starting this blog to track my progress in learning magic tricks and talk about the difficulties I have along the way. Today I'm watching Clench by Calen Morelli, along with Five by Daniel Garcia and Eddie Marcus. I tried adding Daniel and Eddie on facebook. It seems funny to me that Eddie only has like two hundred followers on twitter. Why do I even care about adding these guys? I guess I'd better start networking now even though I'm not too sure about pursuing a career in professional magic. Maybe.

I apparently suck at card flourishes and watched a video about dribbling from some guys in Singapore. I got all nerve wracked about my wrist strength since I couldn't put enough pressure on the cards with my thumbs so I grabbed a couple of three pound weights from downstairs and did some wrist curls, which are probably sorely needed for me. I swear to god, I'm going to fucking get some pretty decently sized biceps and triceps and my wrists are going to be as frail as a 7 year old girl's. Goddamn. I like "fresh scent" so far, which is basically putting a penny inside of a tic tac case. More later as I'm watching this DVD.
