When I actually had the drive to perform and practice, I used to perform this. Taught by Michael himself. Such a great routine.

I'm so jealous! I still struggle to do the Charlier cut and Elmsley Count after months of practise with books and the odd video :wink:

Seriously though, it must be very satisfying to pull off a routine like that Lenoir, especially after learning it from someone so talented. If it's not too personal a question, why don't you feel like performing?

Not sure really! Just having a bit of a bad patch in my relationship with magic at the moment. Still interested in, reading lots etc but University has taken up so much of my time that I just lost the practice etc. I'm almost done for the year though so hopefully it'll spark back up!

Yes, it's easy to let life get in the way of things you'd normally enjoy doing. At least you can see light at the end of the tunnel if and when you feel the itch to get back to magic again though. Did you do any pro performing?

I know what you mean... I lost all motivation to do anythingat all and I didn't even know why I felt so crappy. Then I listened to Bob Marley and understand what he was saying. That seemed to cure me :D As Bill hicks used to say, Its just a ride. I hope whatever you want to do you enjoy it. What are you studying, btw?
Anyway, I couldn't hear what he was saying so I put 'transcribe audio' on... I have to tell you it is f.ing hilarious :lol:

If I'm right then the kid on the right of the screen is the guy from an elastic band video for magicbox.

Love watching Michael Vincent, excellent story teller.
