Audience! I tried "Magic Words: A show of magical poetry" for the first time on a gig audience tonight, and it worked. I'm so happy- you have no idea how happy I am. I've been wanting to cast this spell on an audience for so long, and it worked. They dug it. It was just me, and them, in close-up sit down show setting, and they dug it! They felt it. I felt it. It clicked, as if the marriage between my poems and my magic was supposed to happen this whole time. I just never had the courage to put them together like this. And they melded! It was a crazy fusion- just the feeling of the entire room zooming in on me like a vaccum as I spoke in strange, imaginative dialogue and whimsical rhyming patterns while flowing through my normal sleight of hand sequences was amazing, and so much more artistically fulfilling then performing magic in the traditional fashion. I always knew this kind of expression through the art of magic could be achieved, I just didn't have the courage to try it. The poems in my show are poems straight out of my chapbooks, and have little to nothing to do with the routines in my existing magic repretoire. But I discovered a shred of relevance in each one. For example, "Cafe Awesome", a poem I wrote about a beggar in a cafe eating bread, was paired with a routine where I produce a cheeseburger from a flaming napkin. It's good, audience- it's good to finally see my artistic visions finally come to fruition. It's "Magic Words: A show of magical poetry". Hit me up at antinoart@yahoo.com to bring it to your next event! And check out the rest of the House at events near you- http://www.hofc.webs.com/ for our full performance schedule. Looking forward to all of it
