Hello everyone!
Its has been a while since i last wrote. It is a number of things that has effected this outcome, but the bigger part of it is that I have had alot at work and I have been on vacation.
2 weeks ago i was in Val Thorens to vist one of my dearest frinds Jonas, who has been there for 5 months working as a waitor. The sun was shining on us for most parts but for 1 and a half day is snowed witch acually was in our favor. I had a great time and met some relly nice people and of course I did some magic aswell.
To make a short breif on where I am magic wise. I can say with ease that the passion has not deminished one bit. If anything it has grown in to kinda an obsession. All spare time I have alone I spend with cards and for some time now even coins. I went to Blackpool and visited the biggest magic convention on earth and I had a great time and go so much material that I can practise till then end of my life.
Also one of my friends is putitng up a magic show on Teater 3 ( www.teatertre.se ) this sunday. I will ofcourse be attending to support him. I encurage everyone that reads this and have time to visit this show. Its called “Dont do this at home Magic”. Im sure that its going to be a great show.
Well i have some things I need to attend now so il update soon again. And this time I will

About 1 week ago i got my magic books I ordered. Ever since i started in magic i have bought dvds. I have always thought of me as more of an visual learner then a reading one. So the idea for me to buy book was just absured in the beginning. But with some presure from some of my magic friends i decided that i would get some of the classic ones. I went online and got Expert at the Card Table, Expert Card Tecniques and Royla Road to Card Magic. All great book acording to everyone i have talked to. I got the shippment and picked up Royal Road to start with. After reading about 25 pages i though, “WOW thees books really are great for learning”. I would have never thought of that books can become such a great resource to learning slights and tecniques. I have yet to finish the entire book all because of work and other stuff. But i really cant wait for getting in to Expert at the Card Table. It is suppouse to really good.
This new found fountain of knowledge will be a solid foundation in my search to become a great card magican.

David Stone. November 8, 2007

I had the great plesure of seeing David Stone live at Magicweekend in Lund. He has become one of my absolute favorite magican. His way of performing magic is just brilliant. He is the kind of magican I am struggeling to be. I just his DVD Vol.1 and I just have to say. BRILLIANT. He give really good tips for when you are starting out in magic. What you should and should not do when you are doing restaurant magic / close-up magic. And the magic that you learn is just fantastic. I cant wait to start useing his magic.
The DVD gets a 5/5 from me. I encurage everyone that is in to magic to get David Stones DVD. You will learn so much.

Cruse with the boys. November 4, 2007
Posted by johansundvall in Random Talk.add a comment
This weekend I was away on a cruse with some of my friends. We had a really good time. Alot of alcohol, maybe alittle to much, and alot of laughters. We parted from Stockholm Värtahamnen at around 18:45 and where not going to see land for about 24 hours later. We started with just instaling ourselfs in out cabbins and after that we went to the Taxfree shop to get some beer just to start the night out. After a pair of beers me and my friend Mike went to check the place out. Took 2 or 3 beers at the bar and watched the live band. A really good show.
The rest of the night is all kind of a blur. Note to self…. dont mix Beer and Spirits.
We had a good time overall… On the way home we took a cab and I must say, he was the worst driver that i ever seen. He really should not have a license to drive people. Other than that a really good weekend. I will post some pictures soon.

Shipment of new decks!:D November 1, 2007
Posted by johansundvall in Random Talk.add a comment
Got my shipment of new decks today. YAY! www.cards4magic.com best site ever if you want cards cheep and fast. Thank you Jonas Haglund for the tip. The only problem with the shipment was that i bought the wrong Alladin cards. Got the 1002 instead of the 1001. They are abit thicker and does not fan very well. Oh well can be cool to do magic with for some special event or something.
Tomorrow is just a halfday at work. Fantastic. Im thinking of taking it easy tomrrow night because like I said in my last post… im going on a cruise this weekend. And that is going to be tough enough.

The only regret i have is not taking the chance when it was there.

Today was a really ruff day. I was tired the whole day and i did not feel like working at all. Dont get me wrong, I love my job. But today was just really ruff. The only upside is that this weekend im going on a cruse with some friends. That will be really fun!
I will probably do some magic on the cruse, because im brinning like 3 decks:D I will write an post on the curse after the weekend and tell you all how it went.
