More Magic

Today was a great day, with a magic show as a finale. I left my Email with the Master of Ceremonies for the show so that he could get in contact with me about going to a magic store in Denver with his S.A.M. chapter. I am definitely thinking about joining, despite my reservations due to knowing so little magic anymore. I'm not sure I would feel like I was being fair with so little to offer. It has been stressed that anyone with any interest and of any skill level is welcome, but I still think that way.
Earlier today, Ashley, Peter and I went to Horsetooth Reservoir for a hike, and to check out what kind of activities there are to do there. The trail was a bit muddy for us to go very far, but it was still enjoyable and beautiful. Knowing that I won't post any pictures of the hike if I say I will do it later, I will just mention that I did take some.
After our hike, we went to a hibachi restaurant. It was delicious and the performance was very impressive. Ashley and I both caught food in our mouths. I took some video of some of the action, which again I won't promise to post anytime soon.

Magic

I recently rediscovered an interest in magic and have been learning a few tricks to amuse myself. If you are interested in seeing my attempt at a levitation illusion, you can click on to my podcast for a video of it. On Sunday, there will be a live magic show and magic-related movie at my favorite theater so I am really excited for that. It all started when I just happened to see a sign for a magic/juggling store that was tucked behind some other stores in Albuquerque. The guy running the store was performing back to back tricks and chatting us up, eventually asking me what type of magic I perform. I told him about the magic set I had when I was younger with multiple tricks in it. I don't know what ever happened to that thing, but it would be cool to find again. Anyways, I think it might be cool to pursue an old interest. Let me know what you think if you have an opinion.

Tumbling (flip and branny)

Here is video of me doing a flip over a block on the floor, then doing a branny on the trampoline. Both are filmed at 420 frames per second. They are played back at 30 FPS, so this is 14 times slower than reality.
