1. Am not burnt out.
2. Still have family members that talk to me.
3. Still have that vest (I think – – or is that what I saw the kids lining the doghouse with?).

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 [...]

I’m a magician and proud of it. But….
There was recently a great National Public Radio radio show about magic that I loved. Link.

An Open Letter to Crappy Magicians
I recently was hired to coach a speaker who also happened to do a bit of magic in her programs. It seems to me that the things that I told him are the same things I tell a bunch of people. Usually I’m nicer than what follows… [...]

But not the way you think.
I was lucky to recently spend some time in Mexico with my family. One of my absolute highlights of a killer fun trip was doing magic for some kids. Ok, one kid actually.
