2 years ago I attended the 40 year reunion of my old high school. A few people did little acts, music mainly, and as I had just come back from Palestine where I did my juggling show, I kind of wished I'd shown them a few tricks.
And tonight, when an old friend persuades me to come to another on 20th October, I rashly offered to put on a 3 minute demonstration of prestidigitation.
Wah! No, I'm going to be gentle with myself and only show skills that are withing my comfort zone, but I should be able to do a bit with balls, 1,2,3 and finally 4 for a brief period. Then I'll top it off with some ball spinning. I'll use my big yellow one, which is quite easy to use and looks beautiful in the air.
I have resolved to do 20 hours of practice between now and the date in hand- which is precisely six weeks away tomorrow. So I'll have to keep up a steady half-hour minimum every day, giving myself one day off per week. That's quite gentle really, and will, I think, be easily enough for purpose.
I'm getting excited already!
