Hi JD. These are solid tips ... I particularly liked the note card trick and also work to have a strong opening and closing to my talks. I think it was Tyrone Guthrie who said that "if you have a strong opening and closing to the first and second acts, people will love the play." Plus, if you blank out as you walk out on stage and look at the audience, it is good to have the first few minutes memorized and on automatic. Once you are walking it all comes back. Good stuff!
