Have you ever heard someone say “my hands are too small to do card or coin sleights”?  How about “I am too old to learn new effects”; my voice is not strong enough; I have no stage presence and I am too awkward.  I don’t look like a magician or entertainer.  I cannot learn from reading books, I am too short, too tall, too fat, or too skinny.

Sydney Slater was a penniless writer and magician. He eked out a meager existence in a tiny one bedroom hovel on the outskirts of Pacoima, California. By night, he would perform 49 of the 50 Tricks With a Thumb Tip at the local Taco Bell. By day, he would stare at the keyboard of his outdated Dell computer, a gift from his sex surrogate, searching for inspiration. But he was bereft of any original thoughts or ideas. After all, his signature magic trick was still the Zombie Ball. And he kept dropping the ball into the pot of refried beams.
