Plop sheer samey plop. Lol
Thanks for the tips lads though it's did out the old books !
I have considerable brain damage due to stupidity in my past and more recently, how my MS is slowly eating away at things and costing me my memory. . . in other words, my memory stinks a lot!
I literally have to sit down and practically re-learn material I've done for years, at least a three days to a week prior to doing a show. That includes my own material; it is something that's plagued me for decades but gotten worse in the past 5 or so years. BUT, if I am working the same material weekly or better yet, daily, I won't forget it during that time. So maybe you need to look at it from that point of view; sit down and create an actual presentation using Bobo and Royal Road and practice it daily for a week; then go out and start doing it. I'll bet you'll do exceptionally well and you may even surprise yourself when it comes to remembering things; our memory, if there's no genuine medical cause for complications, can be developed. Even people in my type of situation can work at retaining as well as recovering their memory; usually by way of repetition. So don't give up so easily and chase after the
easy way... that kind of habit will keep you from becoming a true magician.
