A new hobby?!?

With all of my various time-wasting things that I have on my “unnecessary” plate, I thought I was content without finding yet a new hobby. But it’s interesting. I was browsing around online and found Strip Generator, and for now I’m hooked. My cartoons aren’t’ necessarily funny, but hey, neither are my blog posts, usually!

This is some kind of new, almost thoughtless creative outlet that I now have at my disposal. I’m going to use it. I may get too involved, read up on comics creation, and try to get really “into it”, but for now, it’s just this fun little thing that I do. So now, I have: Music-Magic-Blogging-Comics Creation-Writing-Photography-Graphic Design-Martial Arts, plus all of my social networking applications to keep up with. It may be time consuming, but for now, I’m living life, putting myself out there, meeting people, and getting better all around. So for now, it’s just a little more fun to be had.

I promise, I’m trying to get funnier. Failing in that, I’m at least trying to make my comics make sense!

Houston, we have a problem.

Uh oh. A new hobby!

Decks, Lies, and Videotape?

So, where have I been, you ask? I have been working on the book harder than ever, and I’m finally beginning to see the fruits of my labor much, much earlier than expected. The first chapter of the book was published independently as a stand-alone magic effect, called “Torched and Restored Revisited: An introduction to a Miracle.”

The 24 page booklet contains detailed instructions on how to perform the effect, a plethora of pics, the history of the effect, and a section called “the work behind it all” which really gets into the down and dirty details of why the effect works so well, and how to make it better. All in all it’s a worthy project that I believe adds value to the magic community as a whole.

The effect is on sale for $20 at Decks, Lies, and Videotape, and it comes with three bonus items that I will discuss in future posts. They are all valuable items. I believe that in this case, twenty dollars buys you thousands worth in knowledge.
