I'm watching Penn & Teller Fool Us. I don't watch TV unless it's NASCAR or football. Sometimes I watch nothing just because. This is one of those nights. This is nothing. But it does elicit some questions.
It makes me think, "how honest is even the most honest of honest person?"
My hope is to be completely and totally forthright on this website. No tricks. No magic. No embellishing. No making myself look better. The word is fettered. The unfettered truth.
I think that the unfettered truth will be the only way to help anyone else go from pocket lint to pocket change. Change is important.
It also makes me think about how skilled they are. You and I could not do a show like this. It has to come from guys who have been doing something like this for a very, very long time. Who know the history. They know their magic. They bust people all the time. They bring up names in the magic world no one would ever know. Unless your in that world. That usually stops magicians in their tracks.
Then there is the old timers, who have been there and done that - But don't have their own show. They have the theatrics but don't have a lot of money. If any. But they are such heroes in the magic world they get a pass.
Sometimes when people are as good as they are at what they do, even if you know all their tricks, read their books, study their ideas, they should get a pass. It's not like giving a pass is going to harm you in any way. It might just help them. People need help.
If you've gotten to any point in life where you are able to lift someone else up - do good, pass it forward, stand behind, put your name in front of - then you should.
Be unfettered for other people. That might be a little more important than being unfettered about yourself. Other people need the lift. Give them the lift they need. Deserve. Worked for.
Magic is an illusion wrapped in a mystery. It's unicorns and bigfoot. Be Penn. Be Teller. Find out the truth. Let others know you know their secret. And when they fool you, admit you've got no clue.
And give a pass every once in a while. Just because.
