Nothing beats the look of wide-eyed wonder on a child’s face when they see the magician pull a rabbit out of a hat for the very first time. It brings out the kid in all of us. The problem is right now we cannot even let you pet the rabbit… let alone pull one out […]
Your Clients need you NOW more than ever! The COVID-19 global pandemic has performed a magic trick that no one could ever have imagined. For performers, magicians, actors, entertainers and anyone who stands in front of an audience, we have all watched our schedules and every single gig… “DISAPPEAR” in the blink of an eye. […]
One good idea leads to another. I just received an email from a photography business that was offering Porch-Raits during the coronavirus “stay at home time.” The basic idea is she will drive by your home at an agreed-upon time and take a high-quality professional photo of you and your loved ones sitting on your […]
The year was 1978 and I was sitting in Paris with a group of magicians in the amazing home of Christian Fechner.
