I actually used be quite performer up until about age 22 and then I fell off. I acted in many Shakespeare plays, I performed in several school bands, and used to choreography dances to do at parties with a buddy in college. And then I did a little bit of card magic as well.

I guess in some ways it's still there. I'm notorious for tapping people on the wrong shoulder.

I'm particular about tricks. I'm usually not a fan of pranks. They're not fair. There's nothing to learn (random statements I know, but flows with thoughts occurring on the sidelines).

And yes, guiding is what I'd call an authentic performative event, in that I'm not just trying to fit a role or play a part, but actually elicit and summon the ineffable into the space. I suppose I've just not recognized this too much.

I find the balance as there's often space for play for journeyers in the space as well.

One love
