New Video Demo
I am available to perform at gatherings and parties in the NW Indiana area. I specialize in Children
type birthday parties or events, but I also have a wide arrangement of
effects and illusions suitable for the whole family. So, think of me the
next time you want to entertain for your functions!
Being a family entertainer here is a quick list of my Do's and Don'ts.
DON'TS!
I will not perform any effect that would put a bad influence on a child (or an adult for that
matter!)
I will not be cutting people, or small woodland animals in half. At least not until the heat clears from that last
"INCIDENT".
I will also not use swords, knives or even a blunt stick to penetrate my body, an assistant's body, or even your neighbor's body (even
if he does occasionally play his music too loud at night!).
DO'S
First class effects that will entertain both child and adult alike.
Please Note: I am not a clown, (not that there's anything wrong with
that), but I just want to be clear, so you don't ask me where my red nose
and balloon animals are if I show up at your house for a birthday
party. Also see my FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) at the bottom
of this page for more information on what I do dress like!
D.W. at Suncrest Christian Church in St. John,
Indiana
Here is what David V. Director of Community
Life at Suncrest Christian
Church had to say after a recent performance:
"...
You held the audience captive! The young and the not so young really
seemed to enjoy your show. I know I enjoyed it."
Cathy Banes from Monon
Elementary School ... Thanks so much for today....our kids
absolutely loved it! I can't tell you how much "magic" I witnessed
between the end of your performance and our dismissal! We loved the
way you brought "If You Give A Mouse A Cookie" into it ... Then
adding the Dewey Decimal number to get them to use the library...
I'm sure you were dinner table conversation tonight! Thanks again
for an absolutely wonderful
experience.
Frank P. Cubmaster from Pack 542 had to say this about the
show:
"... You kept the attention of all of the kids
and the adults - trust me, that isn't easy. We all had a wonderful
time. Again, great job! ..."
FAQ's
Where is your black tuxedo? - Well, to answer that question I will
give you a quick history lesson in magic. The reason magicians started wearing tuxedos
was because they wanted to make themselves appear "normal". Just like one of the
crowd. Nothing special, just an ordinary guy out on the town. So you may be asking,
"that's great, but you still didn't answer the question, and most people wearing tuxedos
don't blend in so much!". To further answer we need to go back in time a bit,
to the "Hay Day" of magic which was the end of the 19th Century and the begining part of
the 20th century, when people went out to see a show, magic or a play or whatever (there
were no movies yet!) Men wore a tuxedo, with tails if they could afford them. They wore top hats and
carried canes!. All of these things became staples in the magic industry, becasue at
the time you could do any show and say to a man in the audience, "May I borrow a top
hat please!", and you would have many top hats to choose from. Not so much in today's world!
But alot of magicians have now taken the
tuxedo / top hat as their uniform. Which is fine, but I prefer to stick to the old way
and try to blend in with the crowd. I do admit that for larger shows and dressier events
I do tend to bring a sport coat, (black of course). But that will usually come off after
about the first 10 mins of the show. So If I show up to your party, I may be dressed like
I came to the party!
Where is your Red Nose and Baloon Animals? - Well, that would imply that
I am a clown, which I am not. Much the same way I have worked very long and hard to become
a magician, many people spend as much time in becoming a clown! I am not one of them. I give
them all the respect for following their art the same I give other magicians, or jugglers,
or singers or dancers! These are all performing arts an are all very different. As for the
baloon animals, that too is an art form that I have never taken the time to learn!
Basically, try to just enjoy the show. I may not look like what you expected, I may not do
the things you expected, because if I did, you won't get that unexpected, WOW! how did
he do that feeling, at the end of the show. Magic is an art of the unexpected.
So please sit back and enjoy the show!
