I Got Magicked On

Another wild and crazy day at World Domination Summit!

The first thing that happened is that I followed through on my dare from Michael Guillebeau.

I’ll tell the truth. I went to the event where David Fugate the literary agent was speaking, and took a ton of notes, and then at the end I had about a 50/50 mental split between DO IT NOW and WEASEL OUT THE DOOR CONVINCING MYSELF I’LL DO IT LATER.

Then Guillebeau popped out and caught me!

I stood in line and waited, and what they say about “my heart was hammering in my chest” is physically true. By the time I got my chance to speak, my legs were shaking and my stomach was rolling.

I did it, though. I made my pitch. 

David Fugate said, “Tell Mike Guillebeau it was a success.”

SO THAT HAPPENED

Then I went to another book-related event, followed by

FREE HUGS

and then we went to the picnic.

Somehow or other, I wound up hornswoggled into participating in some street magic. My friend guided me across the park, and who should be there? None other than Nate Staniforth!

I completely wigged out, telling him how much I loved his book Here is Real Magic.

He pulled an ink stamp off his arm, threw it at me through thin air, and suddenly an ink stamp appeared on my arm.

COME ON, I said, as one does. If it had happened to someone else I wouldn’t have believed it.

I got magicked on.

This is more or less routine WDS.

We’re about to go in for the main stage event, so that’s it for today. As for you?

Go out there and look for some magic!
