Time you enjoy wasting, is not wasted time

ok, this is two days in a row

(which is one more than yesterday)

for the most part, these pages will be filled with things that I find interesting 

hopefully, my discoveries will be useful to (some of) you

occasionally, I'll go off on a theory / theoretical rant
... that day is not today

today... is just the act of getting out two blog posts in a row

ok, so anyway... thought of the day:

Silicone Thimbles

wow, these things are great
you can find them at your local "hobby lobby" (and I suppose most big fabric stores)

I like the "Dill Buttons" brand. They come in diff sizes... google is your friend

I just ran across these (haven't tried them yet)

they look fun (and inexpensive)

While I'm on the subject:

If you're interested in thimble magic,

I highly recommend Steve Beam / Joe Mogar's "Digital Effects"
http://www.stevebeam.com/digital-effects-the-magic-of-joe-mogar/
(I LOVE this book. It's so so good on so many levels. You'll learn, laugh and enjoy some of the great sleight of hand magic, some great theory and thoughts on presentation and as usual, Steve's entertaining writing will keep you on the page to absorb each nuance.)

In other news:

Over 15 years of practicing and playing with thimbles...
I Still haven't put them into a show

what's that quote?
"time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time"

:)

which reminds me:

cardistry thought:

specifcally:

2:42 (that thought is for me)

I really do like"The Virts"
IMO, they are one of the few "acts" that have placed cardistry on a public platform that can be enjoyed by laymen and card geeks
all their stuff is worth checking a look
I hope they're selling lots of decks

ok, so that's our post for the day
bonsoir
