I did use planned humor but I don't think I was very clear when I said "forced humor". When I said this I meant trying to sound funny or make jokes when they're not. There are people who are funny and those who are not (although they think they are) when they think they're funny, they try to make jokes... these fail. I (think) I'm funny and the jokes went down well. For those who are wondering on how to make their show funnier, script well ahead of time, read Pcwells' post if you already haven't and he's right, script it well ahead of time and as you get more familiar with the script you ad-lib and you'll find things that are funny to say or do.

Thanks again for the help,

Pete: Holy Bible?
Barton: Yeah.
Pete: Yeah, I think so. Anyway, I've heard about it.

Thats understandable Ian,but i cant help thinking that you may have short changed yourself not buying this DVD as it contains many routines and the thinking behind these routines will lead your inquisitive magican mind to many more ideas and paths to travel down than the whole DVD combined if you understand what i mean.

Im going to do something to help you along the way on your path within magic,i will send you in the post my original copy of " Get Nyman " :shock: yours to keep,cherish,enjoy and perform. I am a great beliver in karma and karma has been good to me recently so i would like to give karma something back if you will accept?

I have had it for years,watched it hundreds of times and have learnt what i can from - it mostly sits on my shelf collecting dust these days,yes i will miss watching Andys performance as it is very entertaining to watch but i think it has served its purpose for me and i wish for you to get as much out of it as i did.There is one stipulation to me sending you this - YOU must practise then post a performance of at least one routine on the DVD.....Deal???

I'd like to openly thank Caffa for the DVD this is a fantastic dvd and you were right when you said I cheated myself out of this. This is a great dvd and I love the mystery clip. I wanted to fit the entire show into my show but, I couldn't. I picked out a couple of the routines and it will be in my next show which I will post a video of soon as the show is over, (July). Thank you so much again Caffa!
