I am pleased the discussion continues. I have nothing to gain and nothing to argue here. This is the essence of my contribution. I am happy to help those that wish to learn.

Jake, my friend (if I may be so bold as to call you that), you do not have to concern yourself with lies (I choose not to use the capital letters since I am told it is frowned upon). If you wish to lie, cheat or abuse thought then that is your right. But I do not wish to do that or choose to do so. I choose to believe in what I do and what I have learned and experienced. Let me tell you a short story - you do not have to believe it. A few weeks ago on one of my many travels (a privilege of old age) I stood in a place where I heard voices from the past. To my frustration, I could not fully understand them. Now some may call me an old, mad fool and I do not care. Nobody lied to me or cheated me or tricked me. I have been known to be cynical in my youth. But I chose to believe and learn from that experience. Had I not, would it not have been squandered?

Would you, in your next performance state at the outset "I am now about to make you look a fool and cheat you?" If you do, I wish you well. I would ask you to consider a word that has already been so aptly used here "enchantment".

There is a great skill in performance and it must be learned over time and cannot be learned from books. There is a great deal to be learned from the past. There is a whole lifetime to be spent developing "character". Again my young friend, Matthius, speaks out with a wisdom beyond his years and will, I am sure, be a major force for the future should he choose to be so.

I wish only to help those that ask for my help and will learn, develop and pass on their own, extended version of that knowledge. That is the way of progress and the world. I see no arguement to be had here since I wish you all happiness, success and love in all that you do or seek to achieve. Iwill choose to continue to believe in true magic since after many decades I believe I have discovered what it is. Much love. Kryzal x
