April 2004

I am now 34 years old.  Some days I feel my age, but most days I feel like I’m still 18.  I think my job as a magician helps me to keep in touch with my youth.  I began performing professionally when I was just 16.  However, I can forsee my hair turning white very […]

The big news this month was Doc Eason’s lecture at our shop Magical Gadgets, Inc.  Doc drew in a great crowd and we received many compliments about his lecture and workshop.  Doc informed us that John Denver’s World Famous Tower Comedy Magic Bar and Restaurant, where he’s been the house magician for 27 years, will be closing.  However, […]

February 2004

This has been a fun month!  Magic classes are in session at the shop and have been well received.  My business partner and I were pleased with the turn-out and the nice feedback.  I have been working night and day by adding content to the company website magicalgadgets.com when I’m not manning the shop, performing, teaching, etc. […]

Happy New Year!  2004 promises to be a great year.  I have lots of projects to complete and many exciting things to look forward to.  This time of year is typically slow, and yet I’ve been blessed with plenty of work.  Recently I began working for two different Tony Roma’s restaurants.

December 2003

Ask any entertainer and they’ll tell you that December is always the busiest month of the year.  This month I did 25 shows while working the shop more than full-time.  The shop experienced a great month and really put us on the map in Frisco.  We are currently restocking our shelves with new goodies and […]

This month at MAGICAL GADGETS we featured a show and lecture by Petrick and Mia from Czechoslovakia.  They did a great job and displayed many innovative effects.  We were lucky to have them.  All who attended were entertained and learned a great deal! If you haven’t been by the shop yet, then we hope you will come […]

October 2003

Things couldn’t be busier.  Our new magic shop is going strong.  This month we featured a lecture by Dan Fleshman.  Dan was and is still amazing!  Folks are still talking about his magic. My LITTLE FISHY effect received a great review in this month’s issue of Genii Magazine.  This month I played the character of Diamond Jim Carson, […]

September 2003

This month has been a whirlwind!  As a new business owner I rarely know if I am coming or going.  The shop has me and my partner running in all directions and wearing many hats to make sure our customers enjoy our store.  So far business has been good and we expect that it will […]

August 2003

Well it’s finally here!  Ward Mathews and I have opened our new magic and toy store MAGICAL GADGETS, INC.  It’s taken a lot out of us, but we are proud of the final result.  If you are in Frisco, TX we hope you will stop by to browse our magic tricks, juggling apparatus, spy stuff, remote […]

July 2003

This month kept me busy working on things for our new magic shop.  But luckily I was able to get away to work a magic convention and take a mini-vacation in Vancouver, Canada (a.k.a. British Columbia).  My wife and I stayed in an English Inn, visited the beautiful town of Victoria (seen to the left), […]

June 2003

Many years ago I met a nice family (The Nortons) at Slider & Blues restaurant in Plano, TX.  We became fast friends and have kept in touch since their move to Chappaqua, NY in 1998.  I have been to NY now 4 times and have stayed with them 3 of the 4.  This last time, […]

To the left is a wonderful picture of my grandmother Pauline as a teenager.  She was always beautiful inside and out.  Recently she passed away and since then I’ve had the good fortune to go through all of thousands of pictures that she took.  She encouraged everything I’ve ever done and always acted like my […]
