I performed the basic sub trunk a few decades ago and now my daughter performs it. It's basic but entertaining. If we want to be the best at something it won't be the sub trunk. Can't top the best!! You are the best.

These stories are so interesting!

I am not a fan of the cold at all so I don’t know what’s worse, the cold of the lake or actually having to escape the chains 😂

What I also enjoy about your writing is how your love of magic and performance just shines through in your words :)

Thank you! Success I think comes from conquering those demons that sneak their way within. Through God all things are possible! 🥰

I remember Pema Chodron saying that in sitting (meditating) with our inner demons, over time they become puppies. Thanks for your comment.

Absolutely! 💯 they go from being a big bad growling wolf - without a bite to becoming little puppies that you chase away from you when they are annoying. 😂

First, it is a testament to your enjoyable flair for story-telling combined with very nice writing skills that I actually read this whole delightful memoir! I say this because I am about the last person ever to care about magic tricks, magic acts….although now having read this I admire the dedication and discipline and love behind the performance!

Wow…the world you write so well about here is like a foreign, even alien world to me.

Here’s the line that took me on a thought journey: “ the metaphysical aspect of performing the illusion”

I wondered off on ‘the metaphysical aspect of performing/living life’ much of which is an illusion, a dream, lived by the part of my mind which wondered off eons ago to explore a separation that happened from Source, Oneness, God and how to pay more disciplined attention to the part of my mind always companioned by the Holy Spirit Voice for God, for Home….and there’s me, the observer between them ;)

I enjoyed reading your post, your story!

Thank you ❤️
