Sometimes, if I find myself in the company of someone who I will never meet again, I will just flat out lie to them about myself the whole time I’m talking to them. I figure, why not give them a good story to take with them?
So I’ll tell them stuff like, “Yeah, I was the baby in Three Men and a Baby.”

Or, “What do I do for a living? I’m in Slipknot.”

Or, “I played the oboe on the Final Jeopardy theme.”
In the May Newsletter (coming tomorrow) I’ll be discussing a subset of tricks I’ve been aggregating for similar situations that I call One Night Stand effects. I’ll give you my rationale for why I perform these tricks the way I do (which is sort of the inverse to the way I perform for people I’ll see again), I’ll review an effect I use in this situation and give you my scripting for it.
In addition there will be a long-ish review of Marc Kerstein’s new app and the way I will be using or have used the four effects that come with that.
Supporters should find it in their email boxes between Thursday evening or Friday morning at the latest.
