Neat little side effect of sobriety
I'm a card magician/manipulator. In the week-and-a-half that i've been on the wagon, i've noticed a significant increase in my ability to handle the pasteboards (cards). I can cut, shuffle, spring, fling, toss, spread, catch, and basically do sleights better than i have in literally years. What's the catch? As you can tell, my mind is in better contact with my hands and vice versa. It's like waking from a horrible nightmare to find the sun is shining. That sounds sappy, but i truly do love working with cards and had never seen the impact booze was having on that love. It was hidden behind the alcoholic haze.
The hell with the bottle! I've been blowing minds with magic all week long and my hands haven't felt this good in some time! Yowza!
...just thought i'd share ... next, i'm coming for you, guitars! You heard me!
