I think he just said only when his wife isn't home. But that's ok.

Ha ha, fellas!

Glad that the contract was won Jim. So far this year I am 0/7 with four still outstanding. Good luck with the procedure, recovery and the new life that it all will bring. No shortage of weight being lost in this group I can tell ya.

Thanks, Walt! Honestly, I am really looking forward to some smaller clothes.

I too am no stranger to some card tricks and sleight of hand. I usually keep a deck of cards on me, for when I'm bored at work. And have a few card trick that I'm known for. I watch a few YT channels to try to learn some new stuff. I just wish I had the time to practice at home more and get better.

YT really opened my eyes to some new sutff, watching guys like Chris Ramsay and Alex Pandrea. But they also pointed me in the direction of some good books and the guys who are putting out some of the best content for sale.


Now I feel sick, KJ!
 
Jim! I will be thinking of you and saying a prayer for you for the whole kit and caboodle process. There are a lot of people that have great success with the sleeve and I hope and pray that you will have improved health because of it! Keep us updated and hone your magic trade...I see a Jim West Magic Show in Vegas in the future!
 
I've seen that. I actually made my own one time, found a DIY Recipe for it. Wasn't too bad, but that only lasted about a week. Funny, I posted about that stuff on "another forum" and the thread got deleted because a moderator thought I was actually talking about Soylent Green.... ???? I don't even think he actually read my post.

I've been watching a lot of Chris Ramsay! I haven't heard of Alex yet, but I'm subscribed now!

Thanks, Don! Don't think I will be shooting for Sin City, but you never know!

Ha ha! #RAMFAM

He's the one that really got me back into it. I found him too late to buy any of his 1ST playing cards, but I did end up buying his Voodoo trick. It's a pretty great effect and very workable. I only found Alex and also Xavior Spade by watching Ramsay's channel. Funny enough I has actually seen him and Spider together on Wizard Wars a few years ago. He's a lot of fun to watch.

That's what I read and videos was my immediate thought while reading about his tricks. A whole thread that he updates occasionally would work !!

Seriously hoping all goes according to plan for you !!!!!!!!
 
Great to hear from you Jim!

Praying for you on your upcoming procedure! Just remember my favorite movie quote, "Do. Or do not. There is no try." ~ Yoda
 
Thanks again for all the well wishes and prayers. Today is the last day before my surgery. I have survived 6 days of liquid diet without killing anyone, so that is a good start.

I did have a shave on Sunday morning, full on GTB with Doc Holliday doing the cutting. Used a generous splash followed by the EdP. Then I sat down and played Red Dead Redepmtion for about 2 hours, and the scent was perfect for immersing me in the virtual Wild West!

I may not post much here until Monday, but I will be keeping up with the Bingo calls. I need to make sure I get my first win, haha!
 
Definitely praying for you Jim! Let us know that everything came out okay! And don't worry...I'll try to slip that chimp of a bingo caller a couple sawbucks to get you the win!

Praying for ya brother. I need to sit down and play some Red Dead it has been too long. That is one of my favorite games!
 
Praying that all goes well Jim. I also hope for a speedy recovery, and that you are back on your feet and your computer posting about your shaves in no time.
 
Thanks so much everyone! About to hit the sack. I can't believe I am actually looking forward to this surgery. I know I am gonna kick ass at this new healthier lifestyle.
 
I am home. Procedure went great and I am all set for a great recovery. Thanks for the continued prayers and support.
