Thank you, Lenoir. I really appreciate it. I've got it so it's pretty good. Maybe it looks a bit wooden, but in general I'd rather do it with precision and have it look a bit laboured, than do it casually but do it wrong. I've read in some book on neurology that otherwise you're just practising doing it wrong, and your brain is creating the wrong neurological pathways, and it takes longer to learn.

So, it's better to practise a move slowly correctly and let it speed up naturally, than to force yourself to perform a move quickly...

A wonderful meeting and I may even have got a gig out of it!

Lenoir - your skill continues to amaze me.
TDT - your enthusiasm and creativity are inspirational.
Mitesh - You're just a great guy with a love of magic.

Should have been in bed a long time ago - can;t wait for next week!

It was a lovely day out :)

Just overwhelmed by what we discussed.

Cheers Ste for the comment.

BTW, I have a brilliant routine for the coins I got. Found it on Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agET33L7JBo and already perfected it. Although i still cant find the mental card trick online.

I think it would be a bit cheeky to offer lessons, imho.
