Gonna Try to Work on Some New Stuff

It's been a while since I have tried to learn any new magic effects, a couple of years to be exact. I have been VERY busy with the wife and Andrew. I am not upset, mind you, it's just seems that every time I try to go downstairs to my den and get busy on an effect, Darlene calls me up for something. This weekend, I will get up early Sunday, get my den organized (again), get the new ropes for the Professor's Nightmare prepared and work on some effects. I have learned Paul Gertner's "Unshuffled". I understand the concept of a faro shuffle, now I just have to perfect it. I have been practicing it while watching T.V. or while I have some down time at work. I'm driving my wife nuts. I am also trying to work on a Linking Ring routine, I would like to add it to my Busker's set. I just sent in my application to Meeker Days in Puyallup. I have been busking there for the last 2 years. The first year it rained all weekend and I didn't make very much, the following year, clear skies and warm weather. I made about 300.00 that weekend, all in ones!! I am looking to buy a small rechargable sound system so I don't have to yell the whole time. Last year after yelling 3 hours a day for 3 days, my voice was shot. I am looking into getting a Creat sound system, but we'll see how things go. My daughter, Margaret, will be turning 18 in April. I feel so old.
