Good morning gang.
Often suggested that I send you a listing of the close up magic that I perform in the restaruant. I am looking forward to doing this, but before I begin this journey of sharing "Tricks of My Trade" ăDoug Conn http://www.dougconn.com . I wish to have those of you that are serious to start with me at the beginning.
When new students begin at my magic school/sessions they are under a huge misconception if they believe they are going to attend only to learn some neat party tricks. Now let me revise this statement, I do have two types of students and class sessions:
One is for those that only wish to learn a few nifty tricks for fun.. (tricks that are publicly sold at any dollar tree store...like the two card Monte' and a stripper deck).
And then those that are vowing to become serious students of this amazing art.
For those that want to become serious students, their first few classes are not devoted to learning 'magic tricks'.
Though some magicians may think this to be of small importance, I have seen need for this on several occasion, even by "seasoned" magicians. They begin by learning some basics that may be overlooked, but can become a huge factor in their future.
First we begin talking about proper hygiene (nails cleaned & clipped not bitten, hair neatly cut & groomed, deodorant worn and possibly taken with you to a show, fresh 'breth' ( pun intended), nose hairs clipped, face neatly shaven/groomed.
Second, we discuss proper attire. What to wear and not to wear. Clean starched/ironed shirts & pants, how to tie a tie/bowtie, how to care for your cloths and ties.
If you desire to be a true professional, whether you perform full or part-time you want to purchase the Denny & Lee lecture notes (I personally guarantee this will be one of the best investments you will make-$12.50)

Purchase these notes, read and re-read them and you will be on your way to an amazingly wonder-filled journey. If you are willing to be teachable and stay humble, this set of notes will
take you far.
Just to give you a bit of valued information there is one part in the notes that I now use and from the VERY FIRST time I used Denny's idea my fee and clientele increased dramatically!!!
P.S.
I am not paid to advertise any items that I list, but so that they know who sent them please mention "David Breth sent me and says hello".
Stay tuned for part two - next issue.
