Certifiably Insane?

I've been working on improving my magic lately. Although I won't put David Copperfield out of business anytime soon, I am getting better. I now consider myself an amateur magician, rather than a beginning magician. I owe many thanks to Susie. She asked me to perform a show on her birthday, which gave me the motivation to start practicing again after an absence of several months. She also came up with another idea to keep me going. She suggested I make my services available for Esther's kindergarten.

I initially dismissed the idea, but the more I thought about it, the more I couldn't get it out of my head. I do enjoy performing magic, and I have always thought it would be fun to perform for children. My own interest in magic came through seeing magicians in my youth. So I sent off an email to Esther's teacher. No response. I dismissed the idea and thought nothing of it.

Well on Friday, I went to an activity at Esther's school involving the fathers of the kindergartners ("Guys and Games", which was enjoyable in its own right). I asked Esther's teacher if she had gotten my email, and she said that she hadn't. I then mentioned that I am an amateur magician, and Esther's teacher got excited. She mentioned it to the other kindergarten teacher, who said, "Why are we just now finding this out?" :)

So that's how I volunteered myself to do a 20-30 minute magic show for 40 kindergartners a week from Tuesday. I'll either have a lot of fun, or I'm insane. Perhaps a mixture of both. :D
