Anyone remember the old Ragu tag line “it’s in there”? A good effect for the most part speaks for itself, and thus will a good performer. There is little in life worse than a try hard. For those that enjoy clubs and bars like me, we see try hards all around. Magically speakng we can say the same. Trying to impress, and impressing without trying, the latter wins the race every time.

The best magicians around have one thing in common in that magical things “just happen”. I feel sorry in many ways for some that never get over the “lord of time and space” aura. It’s like Ragu in the end though. We all know your a hip, cool dad, or a lady killing stud piece, because you told us so. The coolest fuckers out there just do what they do without any type of predetermined verbal or physical “hints”.

It’s rather fun to experiment with, amature or advanced. The world is our lab, and our eviroment at the time our holodeck. I’ve found it useful in the past to imagine this rather nerdy analogy. It’s just a training machine from time to time for experimenting. Not only in technique but aura, social tactics and the like. How do people respond when I touch thier arm in rapport? Can I begin to tell somewhat who would want that kind of rapport and those that don’t? Is that 5 packet cut just showing off or is it worthy? Is a pass false cut more practicle? Do I make proper eye contact? Is it creepy, calming, too bed room eyes?

Sooner or later whatever answers we find become part of us for the better. It becomes Ragu. Can you spot the ones that perform without it “being in there?”. Personally I see oil and water still not mixing……Gumps will think it’s peas and carrots. Since we are on the analogy bit, a little like a fist full of pussy beta try hard vs. the end.
