This Song and its images that are in the Youtube link are so amazing. I have been watching/listening to this many times a day. I hope you can find some beauty in it as well!!

So I have been giving serious thought into creating a show. Looking to try my hand at the kid show market. Combine many things Magic and balloons, As well as some cigar boxes and hat manipulations (working on those atm) Ive found so much inspiration from many peoples work.

I wish I was a member. One day I plan to be. Being a member of the local Society Of American Magicians ring #136 I know some people who have been kind enough to get me passes this time as well as the other times I have gone. This will be my 4th time going and it is so much fun I hope to share it with some who might not otherwise have the chance!

Thanks everyone!~

Nice batch of balloons!
Do you cultivate cactus?
I've always wondered.
A build is not a guess, an estimation or a hunch, a feeling, or a foolish intuition. A build is a dependable, unwavering, unarguably accurate, portrayer of your ambition.

Cactus is everywhere. No need to cultivate. though you can get arrested for diggin up saguaros or even vandalizing them. (spray painting,shooting, cutting etc.)

edit:
There are nursery's though that do have many different kinds of cacti !

Depends I suppose on who you are. Now If I was an insecure lad who drank too much and was trying to get laid ..no this would not be my hang out. If however I was say trying to have some dinner, drinks, and see some amazing magic in a historic and exclusive club then yeah it rocks.

But to each his own no?

I just like to share rek. That is all no big deal if you do not want to go don't. I could care less, I am going regardless of who goes with me. I do not think many people get the chance to go to this place, and if I can be an inroad to such a place I am more than happy to help/share.

My trips to the castle are trips just as meaningful to me as any Gaming, or balloon gathering. And to hold it over someone because I was not being more exclusive holding it out for forum vets? then forum vets should sign up ... just a thought

I've heard of it, just a couple months ago in fact, and I heard it is pretty exclusive. Sounds like an opportunity to take if you can! Have fun guys.
