20

So the game is to write things about 20 people without naming them. . .

1. At first I really idolized you and your success with the series. But after you sucked out all of my ideas and screwed me I really dropped that idoling and now I get a huge fucking headache whenever someone asks me “Have you seen that magician guy on tv? He’s so amazing!”

2. You really are my idol and you’ve never let me down. You’ve always treated me well and you’ve really helped me grow as a magician and a person. I hope that I can one day become what you already are today.

3. Giving me these chances to perform in front of cold public audiences that don’t know a thing about me has really helped me improve myself and become much better at what I do. I’m very grateful for your choice… Read More

Taboo Festival

It really is a cool thing to have people go out of their way to come up to you and shake your hand and ask for a business card and tell you how amazed they were. I like that feeling; being affirmed that I really do have an amazingly marketable act. Almost as much as I like the feeling of fucking with people’s heads. :) So yeah, I’m on a happy high right now from how well I performed tonight. Yay!

Seriously, I don’t even recognize the difference if a black guy dressed in a business suit comes walking passed me as opposed to a white guy dressed in a business suit. But if a black guy dressed as a gang member comes walking passed me, I do have to admit that I become a lot more alert. I’m the same way if it’s a white guy dressed as a gang member. If you’re wearing cheap clothes, I’m gonna hold my hand over my wallet while I walk passed you; no matter what race you are.

If you talk in ebonics or spanish or any language that I can’t understand, then I become more apprehensive toward you. Humans are self-centered animals. So when you hear people talking in a language you can’t understand, you automatically assume they’re talking about you; just as if you see people around whispering. It’s nothing personal or racial, it’s… Read More
