Hey, wow, love the poster. Yeah, this is a -- this, I found an old guy
who actually hand painted signs, and he was only -- literally -- 3 minutes away from where
I lived, and just got [?] to have a window in the signage place where you have the old
gold leaf signage you know, it's the [?] on the inside when you know it's a -- and I just
got [?] I'd see this anymore and I got chatting[?], and he found out that I did magic, and I said,
"will do you me up a poster, just with what you've got with you, just [?] what you can
find here today", and he hand painted this beautiful sign for me.
And so I use now just -- that's actually, that's actually a door --
Okay. But like in there, and that just becomes my
automatic background when I'm doing my videos for my magician school, so it's really handy.
Very cool. Let's talk about your magician school. I logged to that for the first time
the other day. We were talking about it on the Facebook group, and I was blown away -- that
is impressive. You know, well, it's really interesting how
it started off because it was -- when I made my original website just for doing children's
entertaining, I just saw it as a little bit of an added value I would put 5 videos on
there of some easy tricks the kids could do with things from around the house. Made them
up, and put them on YouTube, put them on my site, and didn't think anymore about it.
About a year later I thought, "Aww, look, I've got an extra couple of days here, why
don't I add an extra 5 videos". So I actually hadn't gone into the YouTube account in that
time. Now when I went back, I put the new videos on, these messages started coming through,
"oh great, he's making videos again", and I'm thinking, "what, me? Somebody's interested
in what I'm doing." And so I started to add a few more, and a
few more, and a following started, and I thought, "Oh, that's interesting", because what I was
doing was everything on YouTube with my videos -- the magic videos -- is all a set of hands
talking about technique. Or what I was talking about [?] something easy and actually presenting
it, and so I was always giving a little [?] angle, and telling people just my [?] tips, and I
found out [?] because no one else was talking about this -- it was all [?].
And so I started building it, and building it, and it grew all the way from 1,000 to
4,000, and that just got the ball rolling. And then it just stays growing, and growing,
and growing. And so in the last -- I've got 1,000 subscribers in about the last 24 days.
It's just -- it's real, and that's what I'm saying don't give up early, and it's amazing
what happens after a period of time. I'm just getting all these odd things coming
in because you start to become a presence. Where there was a [?] you are now a [?], so
maybe just start to [?]. So don't give up because [?] you've got, I think it's fantastic.
Thank you. Who else is doing it?
Nobody. And this is not even a [?], what are we going
to do in 6 months? I know. I've only been doing -- we started
January 7, so yeah. You've definitely got to be looking a few
years ahead to where this is going to -- you just have it and it just all of a sudden reaches
that tipping point -- have you ever read that book, Tipping Point, by Malcolm Gladwell?
No I haven't, but I'll write that down. You'll want to [?] by Malcolm Gladwell, and
it talks about tipping points. I'm writing. Excellent. Excellent.
