March-April-May 2021
It’s nice to see things returning to somewhat normal. I’ve been busy with lots of private parties. Most of them are still small, roughly 5-20 people, but performing for a live audience once again is nice. I’ve done some Zoom shows and lectures and have more in the upcoming months. I’ve also returned to playing poker with folks and seem to be doing well in tournaments. I am at Drakes in Dallas at Lovers and Inwood every Sunday night from 6:30-8:30pm. It’s an amazing place with a great atmosphere, terrific food and live music.
I turned 51 a the end of April. I wanted to have a big party for my 50th last year but the pandemic prevented that. So this year I went all out. I had it catered with Tex Mex, a margarita machine, my DJ friend Pete Cormican worked it, my friends Josh and Vanessa Ayala did fire-eating, Jobi the Monkey came and I did a little magic here and there. It was nice to see many old and new friends. The party went on until the wee hours and I got lots of great compliments from the attendees.
April 1st my new car arrived! Prior to that my good friend the home builder James Taylor helped me deck out my garage in prep for this beautiful piece of machinery. I long awaited my customized C8 hard-top convertible Corvette. I’ve had many sports cars but this is the sexiest by far. Due to the shortage in parts these cars are very rare. This one turns heads and I love it. Click the pic to the left to see it in high-rez.
At the end of March I returned to doing my large theater show. It seats about 50 people. The theater could seat 100 but I like to keep people spread out and for the show to be more intimate. The shows received great comments from folks. I will repeat this again on May 30th. The previous shows sold out and the May performance will do so soon. It’s a private theater in Addison near the airport. If interested then contact me through my site.
I recently updated the Magic Shop area of my website to include lots of downloads. Almost all of my instructional DVDs have now been converted into downloads. However many of the DVDs include a special something that you may need or want. So when buying the download you might opt to buy both since the option to do so is not that much more. My DVD Pockets Full of Miracles has been chopped up into various segments since the DVD taught 23 routines. See all the downloads here.
My buddy Brian Brushwood of Scam Nation fame recently uploaded a video to his channel teaching 11 quick easy to learn tricks. I’m featured in the video many times. I think I’ve done about 60 episodes now. See the video below.
