Resolution #78: I'm Going To Learn A Signature Magic Trick...

Resolution: I have mixed feelings about magicians. I'm often amazed by the tricks that they are able to pull off but I find that most of them are very annoying. They rank up there with that guy at the party who claims to be a collector of jokes. These people are all about filling any silence with mediocrity. They don't care whether or not you are interested, they just plow forward unaware that you have zoned out and are just going through the motions of supporting their hobby.
I will not become that guy. I just want to learn one trick and become an expert at it to potentially incorporate it into my busking resolution.
Result #78: I Might Not Be The Best Magician… It May Not Be The Best Trick… It's Definitely Not The Best Camera Work… But… I Now Have A Signature Magic Trick!!!
Update #1: The Conclusion…
Date: 3-19-2015
As I was studying magic trick to perform I discovered that it's not magic that I don't like. I actually love magic. I just hate most of the presentation.
It's the same way that I LOVE stand-up comedy but can't stand set up/delivery jokes. I'm willing to settle in for a story but I don't want to hear the small talk of a dump question with a horrible answer that's supposed to be funny.
With magic… I just want to see the trick minus the false small talk that leads the volunteer into the experience.
That said I will stop with the rambling as I present my new signature magic trick where I can now magically pull a rubber band through my thumb.
If you are under-whelmed by the video just wait until you see how under-whelming it is live!!!
