Well, it's been a fun week. I have practiced a TON in the past 6 days. My practice week usually includes Monday thru Saturday, since I'm very busy on Sundays with Church and my girlfriend. Anyway, here is my practice log for this past week. Tuesday was my best day. I worked on knuckle rolls for 4 of those hours. I'm not even kidding. I improved a lot in that one day, as well. I also worked very hard on my butterfly that day, like I did on Monday, and I work forever on my pressure fans Friday.

So, I've been very busy with practice this past week. I am including all practice for those times, not just times when I am sitting at my card table working on tricks. These times include school hours and down time. For example, I got probably 4 hours of practice on Tuesday at school. I worked very hard to get my knuckle roll down. I timed myself countless times to see how many I could do per minute, and right now I am up to 23 complete rolls a minute. I average about 20. However, two weeks ago, I could not do 10 a minute. So I have improved exponentially in as little as 14 days. That just goes to show what practice can do for you. My pressure fans are really coming along as well. You wouldn't believe some of the fans I made yesterday. I just watched "Bones Pressure Fan Vid" before I went to bed Thursday night, and it's like it just clicked for me on Friday. Here are some pressure fan pics I took:
Pressure Fans
Keep in mind that I have only been doing pressure fans for a day. I hadn't attempted one before that.
So, I've had a very rewarding week! Week two has come and gone...For week three, I am going to try to start a daily journal, instead of just updating as I go. That way, if I slack off for a day, or if something really cool happens one day, then you will know then. I am also working very hard to attain a video camera. Hopefully by the end of march I will have been able to buy one, what with my birthday coming up and all. My girlfriend's brother works at the local Best Buy, and I expect that he can get me one hell of a deal on a really nice video camera. If any of you have a suggestion as to a certain brand or model camera that I should buy please PM me or post in my comment page on the forums. For instance, if you use a certain camera, and have made several nice card vids, please enlighten me as to what camera you use! Also, I'm going to be needing a good video editing program. I have Windows Movie Maker, but I don't have any good effects with it. If there is a package I can download for extra video effect, I will, but if not then I want a better program. Thanks for stopping by!
