My brain keeps replaying what Vernon said. \u201cI don\u2019t care how fine the brief is. When you deal like that, I know you\u2019re up to something. It\u2019s unnatural looking!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was only one line, but it came from The Master<\/em> himself. So, I begin to analyze every movement of my different deals, and I don\u2019t practice them two hours a day, nor three, nor four, but right around fourteen to eighteen hours every day. I work on the moves in slow motion. I keep working on them until the moves are embedded into my neural network creating the muscle-memory necessary for the moves to become a subconscious habit. Now I\u2019m unconsciously practicing as I go about my daily activities. But that\u2019s not enough. In between LP shows, I shadow Vernon everywhere. I meet up with him at the Castle, confab with him at the Las Vegas Desert Magic Seminars, and I confer with him at other magic conventions and fraternal gatherings. Wherever Vernon makes an appearance, I am like his relentless, pestering shadow; \u201cSurprise, Professor, here I am!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
