These past few months I have been focused on crossing off things on my project board that have accumulated over the last several years. I signed another book deal with Dover Publications. That magic book is slated for release in April of 2021. This will be my third book with Dover. As a kid I […]
As I write this it is mid June. Oh my how the world has changed. Some states are open and some are still closed at this moment due to the pandemic. In Texas many of the businesses and restaurants are opening back up. We will all find out soon if it was too early to […]
This month I was supposed to be in Manila, in The Philippines, doing several stand-up shows for Resorts World. I was very much looking forward to this opportunity but it had to be postponed once the Covid-19 virus began spreading fast across Asia. For now it has been postponed until 2021. I look forward to […]
Happy New Year! Wow. Later this year I turn the big 50. That’s 34 years performing professionally and 44 years practicing magic. Believe it or not, I’ve had a deck of cards in my hand almost every day now for 48 years. Dang I’m old! When not performing, practicing, writing or booking shows I enjoy […]
Things are always crazy. I have more projects to work on than I can get to. I feel like Calvin of Calvin & Hobbes who once said, “God put me on this Earth to accomplish a certain number of things. I’m so far behind I’ll never die.” The last quarter of the year is always […]
Whoa! I’ve maintained this blog for a little over 20 years now. One fun weekend this month I did strolling magic for hundreds of folks in Forreston, TX after their dove hunt. I’ve had many of my pinball and arcade games refurbished. My collection continues to grow. However, I think I’m done. I’m out of […]
This has been an eventful month! I started off by flying out to Las Vegas for 6 days. Most of my time was spent at the now annual Magic Live convention. It’s always great to see old friends and make new ones. My roommate Riccardo always cracks me up and has such a zeal for […]
June kept me busy with lots of private shows. I’ve been performing magic professionally since 1986 and I still feel lucky to do what I love. Work is constantly rolling in. My new Diamond Cards are selling well and magicians and cardists love the feel and look of my cards. I’m very proud of them. […]
May is busy with projects. I made another appearance on Scam School. In the episode above I teach how to play poker with 5 nickels and win every time in a seemingly fair manner. I teach two clever secrets. This will be featured in my next book Bamboozlers Vol. Four. Rex and Brian in the […]
Well… same old song and dance. I’m busy with shows and projects. Some of my clients over the past several weeks have been Reunion Tower, Jackson’s Pottery, Exxon, etc. I drove to Houston for one gig. Then I followed up that trip by going to Austin to hang out with two of my favorite relatives, […]
I think time is speeding up. I can’t believe it’s already 2019. I kicked off the year again by doing a show for Phoenix House on January 1st. These mostly withdrawn teens go bananas when I’m performing my magic there. My show is only half an hour but I usually end up being there 2 […]
This is always my busiest time of the year. Between November and December I did 35 paid shows. That’s not including all the parties I went to for family and friends. Most of my shows are for corporate clients and a handful are private events in people’s homes or businesses. One of the highlights in […]
