Now that the residency interview season is over, all there is to do is wait...and do magic!
I've begun cataloging all my books and tricks with a little more detail than the post-it suggestion by Darwin Ortiz in "Strong Magic" (I'm also adding impromptu/not, a brief description, and my own personal changes in handling if I have any at the time). It's really coming along great and even though it's a super slow process because I'm doing all the tricks as I pass along them (not well at all but to see what it feels like), it's helping me organize what I really want or hadn't considered before when putting a set together, and issues with certain tricks I didn't think about.
Also, about Osterlind's version of bank night...I'm sure it's been suggested before, but I never realized (despite the fact that I am Chinese) what a ridiculously good presentation it was to use Chinese money envelopes instead of key envelopes. I give a short spiel about why we give money to each other and why the holiday is important to us. Culturally cool and fun!
I also want to reiterate how awesome the Miguel Angel Gea DVD's are. Complex, but fantastic. That coin stuff's gonna take me years to do.
