Mo Magic Weekly — Issue #23: What I didn't lose

I realized something this weekend.

I don’t have much of what I used to.

Most of my props… gone.
Books… gone. Even my Slydini books… gone.
Even my wardrobe isn’t where it used to be.

When I went away… I lost a lot.

But I didn’t lose who I am.

I’ve been doing magic on the streets…
on my breaks…
wherever I can.

No big setup.
No fancy props.

Just experience… and connecting with people.

This past weekend, I did my grandkids’ birthday party at the Roxbury, CT town park.

Not my usual setup.
Not a full show.

But I showed up anyway.

And the crazy part?

People are responding.

I’ve even had people ask to hire me…
and I’ll be honest—I’m a little limited right now in what I can offer.

But the fundamentals never left.

I ended up taking the train from New Haven to Danbury for the party.

And honestly… it was a good trip. No issues. Just a smooth ride.

It also reminded me of something I talked about in an earlier issue—
getting around without a car.

This was another real example of that.

Not just getting to work…
but getting to a magic show.

Now, I’ll be honest—
bringing a full kids show setup on the train would’ve been tough 😄

No big props. No packed cases.

But that’s where I’m at right now.

And I’m still moving.

Still showing up… just in a different way than before.

And this is exactly why I’ve said before—
New Haven is an asset.

Being here makes it possible to move… even without a car.

And honestly… I still see a car as a liability right now.

That’s something I picked up from Rich Dad Poor Dad—
focus on assets first.

And for me, right now…
this works.

I’m not making big moves right now.

With my hours getting cut… and everything getting more expensive…
this isn’t the season to be aggressive.

It’s the season to hold.

I’ve built my positions over time—Bitcoin, XRP, HBAR, GME, and others—
and right now, I’m focused on holding what I've built.

Not reacting. Not chasing. Not panicking.

Just holding.

And I’ll be honest… that’s not always easy.

When money gets tight, the temptation is there to start selling pieces off
just to create breathing room.

But I’ve learned something:

If you keep breaking your position every time things get uncomfortable…
you never actually build one.

So right now, I’m staying steady.

Cutting back where I can.
Being more disciplined.
And trusting the long-term plan.

I’ve been amping up the marketing for CodeBreeze Solutions LLC lately.

Not out of panic—
but because I know I need to move.

So I’ve been putting myself out there more.
Sharing content.
Showing what I do in real time.

And that’s actually how I picked up the recent magic gig—
someone found me online.

That’s the whole idea behind CodeBreeze.

Not just building websites…
but helping people get found.

Because a lot of people right now are in the same position—
trying to figure things out… trying to get more eyes on what they do.

If I can help with that… I will.

And I’m seeing it start to work.

Not perfect.
Not huge yet.

But real.

If you’re trying to get more eyes on what you do and don’t know where to start — that’s exactly what I help with at CodeBreeze.

“Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things.” — Matthew 25:23

That hits me right now.

Because I don’t have much…
but I’m being faithful with what I do have.

Showing up.
Staying consistent.
Keeping the right mindset.

And trusting that God can build something bigger from it.

💡 The lesson:

You can lose the props. You can lose the books. You can lose the setup. But you can't lose the reps.

Whatever you've put in the work on — that part's yours. Nobody can take it.

And God doesn't need your full setup to use you. He just needs you to show up with what you've got.

A few things, faithfully — that's how the bigger things get built.

This week meant a lot.

I got my first tip through Buy Me a Coffee… and honestly, it wasn’t about the $10.

It was this message:

“Yessir I got a lot from the last issue!!!!!”

That right there is why I do this.

Appreciate you. More coming every week 🪄

If this message hit you this week…
share it with someone who needs it. 🙏

That’s how this grows.
