Day 11 - 18. 6. 2015

[Ondřej Pšenička]

Got to school 5 minutes after 8. Stefan was already there.

I found a plastic bag that I put over my head and couldn’t breath so I put holes in it and then kept adding more. I mostly worked on the script and instructions so the trick works. And the rest of the time devoted to memorization and chilling. No stress again.

The presentation started at 13:00. I went as the last one. My favorites were Stefan and David S. and then it was my turn. I got into the position, everything went ok until the bag started entering my mouth which was unpleasant. Then Carl who was chosen to assist me has found his card in the deck. Then I realized that the deck was upside down so I fixed it and went on in a faster pace. The rest went good.

Feedback was just me describing the process of the work and Johan didn’t say a word about it. It is very funny presentation (even though people were not laughing that much) and I won’t do it again any time soon.

Later I sent feedback to Linda about new versions of the logo that she sent me, so she is going to work further on it. Simon showed me some very cool stuff he has for his FISM act. It is not a future FISM winning act, but it has some really nice ideas and craftsmanship.

I had another long conversation with David S. in the night. We talked Our Magic documentary that he didn’t know about, Mahdi G., Karel and Petr Ocelík/Absolon, Derren Brown, Hans Klok’s gayness and David’s crush on one of his dancers when he was 19. Then we talked about Luis de Matos and commerce and creativity. We also talked about Rob Zabrecky and the Magic Castle. And yes of course, he was a little bit drunk.
