This weekend was the “Michigan Magic Day” magic convention, in Grand Rapids, MI. At the last minute, I decided to sign up for the Close-Up competition. For my first competition, I did pretty good. I ended up placing 2nd!!!
FYI, I performed a color changing card routine and the “Lazy Man’s handcuffs”.
I’m still tickled about this…Yay for me!
Congrats!
Could you do me a favor, though? Teach me how those tricks are done, maybe?
I swear I’ll never tell!!! 
Sure. It’s easy. All you do is learn the secret to the trick and you are all set. It’s just that simple.
BTW, by winning 2nd place, I now can say that I’m an “Award winning” magician.
Thanks for a whole lot of nothing! 
It was worth a try, anyway.
