I am now well underway with my classes at the amazing Magic Castle right here in Hollywood, California. Have you ever been to the Magic Castle? It is actually rather hard to get into, unless you are a member, or are invited by a member, or perhaps invited by some of the non-magician staff that work there as well. One thing for sure is, if you ever have a chance to go to the Castle, TAKE IT!

To become a lifetime "Magician Member", and to be able to perform along with the other legendary and incredible magicians at the Castle, you must first pass the "audition". From every person I have spoken with, this audition is no joking matter. The Castle is very selective in who passes the audition, and for good reason. Being a magician member at the Magic Castle is a lot more than just being able to go there to have fun and see great shows. It means you are part of an elite group of magicians, almost like being part of a secret society.

So before I go forward with the audition, I am sharpening my skills by taking some advanced classes at the Castle. So far, the classes have been amazing. The teacher is fantastic, the fellow students are serious and dedicated magicians, and it allows  you to a limited membership at the Castle so you can spend plenty of time watching and getting to know the phenomenal talents they have performing there.

So far, two people there have been so incredibly nice and helpful to me, it just blows me away. I won't say their names because I certainly do not have permission to do so, but one is an employee that works at the Castle (who happens to be an incredible magician as well) and the other is perhaps my favorite close-up magician frequenting the Castle these days. Their kindness and willingness to share their knowledge with me has been more than I could have ever asked for. Thank you guys. You have reminded me how important it is to always give back to the community and mentor and help others that look up to you or need the help.

More to come in the future. That is all for now. Ciao!

Well much like losing my other virginity, this is going to be a bit anti-climactic. I am actually out the door to get a new camera (I hope) to film better quality Videos for you all and for the YouTube Channel which I know you are all subscribed to (unless you truly just plain hate me).  You should be able to get there by using this link: bit.ly/MagicMatthew, but if you can't, I'm sure you can figure out on your own. It is called "Magicians' Code" and stars yours truly. Much like this site it is just getting started. But pay attention, because this shit is all about to blow up like Hiroshi...... shitake I need to watch those not-so-politically- correct-although-damn-funny-type-of-jokes don't I?  Eh, fuck it. Fuck anyone who can't take a joke I say.

To quote the late, great John Lennon, oops, my bad... the Gay Great John Travolta (allegedly), from the movie "Michael", "You gotta learn to laugh... it is the only way to true love." And since you asked, one more amazing quote from that movie which I often pretend I made up on my own (because it is fun to do sometimes, big deal....).... "I invented the line... before that everyone used to just kinda stand around."

So, I do have to get going, but hopefully the incoherrent, non-sequitur-riddled blog gave you a taste of the flavor of insanity to come on this site. If you have been offended, I am sorry. I am sorry you wasted your time and more importantly, mine. Please know I have a heart of gold, possibly platinum even, and I love to laugh and make others laugh. I am the most accepting, caring, protective, loyal and dead sexy guy you will ever know. So even if you don't find what I say funny or amusing, know it comes from my effort to put smiles on peoples faces, and not from a place of hate or even a mild disgust.

I shall return. Consider yourselves warned. And there shall be new videos, and I am referring to ones about magic, not the X rated ones (perverts), going up on the Youtube channel and here today. So for all two of you out there paying attention, come back and check on this all in a bit.

Have a fan-fucking-tastic day and always remember, you are the creator of your own destiny. So go out and make some magic!

Cheers,
Matthew
