Halfway Done...

...there is still a Cashetta show tonight. In case you've never heard of Cashetta...he is a man dressed up like a woman who does a Q and A act. Or maybe...ummm...she does. Cashetta made a huge impact here last year when they (cause the term 'they' is easier than having to decide whether to say "he" or "she")popped by Jack's.

Cashetta is followed by the Bob Cassidy roast. and then down to the pub.

This afternoon Allison Campbell talked about picking up work on trade show work. She advocated a meat-eating strategy...tracking down clients in every possible place -- even going to trade shows you're not even interested in so you can meet corporate marketing directors. It was a great seminar on the business side of mentalism.

Paul Vigil, a Vegas magician talked about a clipline routine with serious passion. You've heard of a clipline, right? He did the word reveal using an Ouiji board. Very clever.

Bob Cassidy and Jheff took the stage next in a largely unstructured but absolutely fascinating discussion on "stuff." If you're  a member of Bob's Master Mindreader Workshop, you've heard their 'chats.' This is what it was -- a rambling discussion on many different topics from cards in mentalism to alternate ways to switch slates or cards.

Man...sleep deprivation is part of MindVention. I'm feeling it. Here's the real issue: I KNOW I should be sleeping early tonight. And I know I won't.
