Daryl Howard Magic

Well, the new year is off to a great start at the Dallas Magic Club! We treated the guests to a professional close-up magic show with four Club members, including myself, who brought out their best performance pieces for the occasion. Judging from the expressions on people's faces, it looks like everyone had a great time. Thanks to Shawn Messioner, Geoff "Doc" Grimes, and Ian Richards, for their help in making the show a success. And, of course, a special thanks goes out to Club officer Dal Sanders for being my stand-in photographer for the evening. Great job everyone! See even more shots from the event on my Facebook page .

Had a wonderful time entertaining employees of Deloitte Consulting Company in Dallas at their company after-hour cocktail party. Unfortunately, no one was on hand to take photos of the performance, but we all had a good time, and hopefully, I will get photographs the next time they invite me to one of their parties.

I had a great time entertaining employees of Arnold Transportation company with my strolling magic show at their annual company Christmas party at The Embassy Suites Hotel in Irving. They had a professional photographer on hand who took photos of me performing for guests, but I am still waiting for those photos to arrive.

Just had a great time entertaining employees of The Sheraton Hotel in Dallas with my strolling magic show at their annual Christmas party. Thanks to our host and event coordinator Lisa Benkowitz for giving me the opportunity to be a part of the festivities. I am now on their list of preferred entertainers for future events at the hotel! Looking forward to the next show there.

For once, I actually got to be a part of the audience of a magic show, instead of the guy on stage. Penn & Teller, two of my all-time favorite magicians in the whole world, performed their fantastic stage magic show at The Winstar World Casino and Hotel in Oklahoma. They absolutely blew me away with their magic, and I got to meet Penn Jillette in person for the first time! Of course, THAT photo didn't turn out, thanks to a stranger that didn't know how to push a button on a camera. But I have some great memories of the event, and the Winstar Hotel went out of their way to make my stay an enjoyable one. I will definitely be going back to attend more shows there.

It was a huge party! I had a great time at The Wyndham Hotel in Dallas performing my strolling magic show for members of the Independent Electrical Contractor's Association for their sixtieth anniversary Christmas party. Yes, they have been in business for SIXTY years, educating apprentice electricians to work in the electrical industry. This was my second time to be invited to perform at one of their Christmas parties. A special thanks goes out to Marsha Hughes, Assistant Deputy Director of the school, to my right in the four-person photo, for hiring me to entertain at the party, and for introducing me to the talent and event coordinator of the hotel! This is the second hotel in a row this year that now has me on their list of preferred entertainers! Can you spot me sharing my magic with guests in the large group shot? That's me, right next to Waldo.
