I was talking to a good friend of mine a couple of weeks ago, and I mentioned that I don’t really like doing children’s magic shows. She bluntly suggested that I start doing magic for “cancer kids” and told me that I have a gift and it would be wrong not to use it for a good cause. No money, just free shows for sick kids, or disabled, or whatever. Now, she was 78% joking, and for whatever reason, I laughed it off and put it out of my mind. And even when she jokingly kept bringing it up, I still shoved the thought away.
But now, I honestly believe that the guilt has set in. I have come to the point where I must, absolutely must do a show for kids who need a free magic show. Because I realize now that everything I want to be, everything I say about myself, every facet of character I project to other people, is now dependant upon me actually doing this thing. Before the idea occurred to me, I was okay. But once it hit and I denied it, it wouldn’t leave my mind.
This is a good thing. I have a lot to give. Magic, music, why shouldn’t I use it to cheer people up, to inspire them? It’s not about the money, it’s about what I want to do with my life. Doing something like this, well, it could very well be my biggest achievement ever.
I’m completely open to ideas of where I can go near Elizabethtown, KY. Ladies and gentlemen, I am going for it!!!
