I was recently speaking to a group of amazing high school students with the Skills USA organization when I happened to meet up with an old friend, Colorado Magician Michael Townsend.  (We’ve been friends for ages, are both members of the Mile High Magicians Society.)
Mike is a great guy, and definitely one [...]

Craft Gone Wrong!!!
My wife and a pal of hers are Girl Scout troop leaders for some very cute Brownies, including our six year old.
Recently, we had a magic “unit” (do they give patches for that?) where I got to work with the troop and do some magic. After learning (and seeing) what real [...]

Both, of you ask me. When I was a kid I loved this guy. His TV specials made me want to become a magician.
We miss him. (He died a few years ago.)
I just ran into the cool quote from Doug, and thought you’d be interested:
Wonder is very necessary in life. [...]

Yup, I’m a Colorado magician, and work all the time for corporate and association audiences performing my magician / comedian thing. But to be honest, nothing has made me so proud as watching my eldest daughter do some magic at a birthday party for her sister (my youngest kid).

Claire did some killer magic, fooled [...]

A good friend, and fellow Colorado magician Danny Archer was just profiled in the Society of American Magician’s magazine.
Danny is a good magician; and he has also invented many tricks for sale to other professional magicians. Besides that… he’s a good guy.
Congrats, Danny.
(Another cool connection: Colorado magician Lindsey Smith wrote the article about Danny. Lindsey [...]
