TAM Session Anyone?

To be a good magic performer takes pain and dedication. The reason JIS's book talked me out of it, is because I realized, through read it, that I probably won't have the time to put in all the dedication necessary. I am better off spending more of my time as a software developer and filmmaker.

As for place and time: I can't think of any particular place, other than one of our hotel rooms. But, as for time: Thursday before any TAM activities is good for me.

I still think its sad that Swiss can talk people out of magic as a hobby. Yes dedication is necessary but if you put a small amount of time into it, you will do more than a satisfactory job. You do not need to know everything on the entire subject of magic. Not even Swiis knows everything although he probably thinks he does.

Actually, there is also the fact that I tend to suck at the tricks I would like to do. It doesn't take Swiss to tell me that.

As a hobby, I might still attempt doing them, every now and then. But, presenting myself as a magic entertainer is not a wise idea.

Well, this doesn't really fall into the spirit of a *session*. A session is generally for those who perform some magic and want to do or see a few tricks, share ideas, technique, etc. I'd be glad to show you some tricks sometime during the meeting, though.

Woops, gotcha. I'll look for you at TAM though. Thanks.

I am pretty sure Jamy will have a problem with being called a "real" magician. better of with sleight of hand artist or sleight of handist for short.

He may prefer "conjuror". My comment was tongue in cheek, anyway. "Real magician" as opposed to those of us who don't do it full time.
 
Thursday late afternoon before the reception sounds good. Reception is at 5:00, so say 3:00? Anyone know the hotel well enough to suggest a place? (a quiet corner in a pub is usually a good spot)

I don't know what the bar is like at the hotel. There is a coffee shop at the hotel that might work. I'm sure we can find something there.

I've sent my cell number to Gulliamo. If anyone else needs it for the session, send me a PM.
 
Looks like aofl will also be joining us. We're tentatively scheduled for 3 PM, Thursday somewhere in the hotel.

We're leaving tomorrow AM, so I'll probably be offline at least until Wed. PM.

I guess it won't be too much of a problem to get in contact once we get to the hotel. See you all there.
 
By way of introduction, I am an amateur (non-performing) magician.

Coincidentally, there's a magic shop right next to the coffee shop. Just the thing if one of us has an urgent need for an over-priced Svengali deck. :D

take it up a notch and perform for someone. Do some easy stuff. Invisible deck is nice and strong and I would be willing to show you advanced stuff to get in and out of it and the next TAM. I am not coming to this TAM. Oh well.

Cartoon deck is easy and is stron also and you can tell them its a trick deck and they still won't care.
 
Thanks to Gulliamo, aofl and Wowbagger. It was great to meet you all and have our informal session. Maybe next time we can get a few more involved.

Unfortunately, Stir was unable to attend.

Special thanks to Betsy - Gulliamo's better half and D'Lite expert - for playing the role of the "victim".
