These two guys that wrote this book are great magicians. I have all their books. Most importantly, I’m with you when it comes to hanging with friends. I enjoy Magifest so much, because of all the camaraderie. I hang around with friends that I’ve only seen on Facebook or friends that I’ve only met the year before at Magifest. We have several gatherings throughout the year just with my local Magic group. I also meet twice a month with my IBM and S.A.M. Magic clubs. This to me is what Magic is all about. I do not perform magic professionally, but I consider myself a super hobbyist. I just like to hang and have a great time with like-minded people. Enjoy your groups.

💯 Scott! It didn't used to be this way for me, but it is certainly become that way over the years

[@johngrahammagic]

Thank you, Scott, and I am with you. I love that aspect of magic.

Always a pleasure, John! Thanks for taking time to watch and comment

There a substitute teacher that's works at my school. He knows a little magic, I didn't realize how much I knew, we discussed so much magic and I introduced him to many books and magicians. We're a good audience to each other and still fool each other paul Wilson's bar bet type tricks.

[@EruditeMagic]

Love that - thanks for sharing!
