You're Not You When You're Hungry

I’m done biting my tongue and being the bigger man. For too long, I’ve been pissing in the wind, soaking my own legs, and convincing myself it was just a refreshing rainstorm.

The magic community?

It's bonkers.

It has an inherent culture of too many superficially inflated egos inflated by overly hyped products and outdated reputations. Sure, perhaps you've been performing magic for four decades. But just because a dog pats his own head for four decades doesn't mean it's a better dog. Perhaps you're just another "same ole" dog that everyone sees sniffing his own ass?

Something else -

Back in May or June, I posted a review of a PDF that teaches a verbal technique to force a word starting with a vowel. People mostly shrugged it off as mediocre—and that’s fine, I wasn’t expecting a parade.

Fast forward to December 2nd. Vanishing Inc drops their Cyber Monday Convention featuring Carisa Hendrix. I haven’t had the time to watch it yet, but apparently, she taught the exact same technique in a different context. And suddenly, FOUR people hit me up about it like it’s revolutionary.

I know, I know - I'm far from celebrity status. I'm barely a social factor. But two of those people? The same ones who brushed it off when I brought it up in April.

Maybe I need the "VI" logo tattooed on my forehead so my thoughts are validated with a for-profit sponsor. I'm done mingling with the magic community. It’s time to embrace the insanity and have fun with the Dirty Deck Club, better known as the DDC.   

At this point, everything’s fair game. Heck, if the first two letters of the acronym arrived two letters sooner, the DDC would be a lot larger. Right?

So here I am.

Rated-R. Not being PC. Cruising down a one-way road with no intentions of pulling over for double-parked egos and two way traffic. I'm telling you now: This group's exclusive content isn't worth your $3/mo. You'd be better off buying a Snickers: You're not you when you're hungry.

And I'm always hungry.
