The Lady in the Western-style Restaurant

By Roman Cheng

The Line Of Interest
I used to go for a tea sometimes in weekend to relax, also it is my time of reading some magazines. This is my first time to see this lady in this restaurant, she looks young and charming. I approached her table for a short chat. I introduced myself and started to talk about my passion for helping others through my training experience. When I mentioned that I used magic as communication tools in my training program, I see that it got her attention. In fact, very often, when I mentioned the word "magic", people could instantly have some kind of correlation to famous magician David Copperfield or the magic that see on the Internet. Then they started to ask how this and that do, and said it is really unbelieveable

Common Thing starts off
Thanks to Internet, it opens ways for a new era of marketing, this provides more opportunities than the dark sides in magician's world. Personally speaking, the Internet may expose some secrets of magic, but it does more good than harm in general. In the old days, we can only have chance to watch magic shows on the television. Now, you can have magic entertainment readily available on the Internet. People somehow have watched one or two magic shows on the Internet, this can be a good points that we magicians have more common topics to start to talk about when we are making friends in different social situations.

Leaving, but it also means Next
After talking to my new friend for a while, I suddenly produce a deck of cards on the table in a dramatic way. And she also laugh and said why there is a deck on the table. Then I started to tell a joke or two, that this is a thing we use in our training classes. Subsequently, it is time for a "demonstration" of the magic that I taught in my Magic Training Program, that gives magicial experience to my new friend. Time flies though I really enjoyed the surprise that I got from her face. I did a few more magic and finally produced my magic business card to her. Then I will leave it in future to see what happens Next.
