I believe most of us would have come to a stage in our youth when we'd want to learn to be a magician or pick up a few magic tricks to impress others. And because tricks can be improved with practice after practice, it is not difficult for someone to put their heart into it and be able to pull off any trick.
However, not everyone gets to be a good magician. One needs to have a pleasant, charismatic and engaging character in order to draw people into the trick and to pull off a trick with aplomb. Magic is, after all, an interactive sport.
Unfortunately, for my launch yesterday, our "magician" had neither of these characteristics. In fact, he had a sour demeanor about him and although his credentials were that he had performed in Vegas, we should have checked what he actually did in Vegas or when. His magic tricks were deplorable and old. In my old company, we got a clown who did clowning and the same magic tricks this magician did.
Anyways, it's over and now I'm finally sick with an official MC for the day. Had a fever and sore throat since Saturday night.
