Texas Association of Magic Convention 2013

By -

If you've been wondering what I've been up to lately, here are a couple of photos of me at the recent Texas Association of Magicians convention in Dallas. I got to spend some time with one of my favorite magicians and comedians, Harry Anderson, best remembered as the judge from Night Court. I also got to meet actor Burton Guilliam, who has been in over fifty motion pictures, but you will likely remember him best as the railroad foreman in Blazing Saddles. Time would fail me if I tried to share all the things I learned about what it means to be a professional performer from these two successful entertainers. Let's just say, I had a great time, and I am looking forward to the next magic convention.

Independent Electrical Contractor's Association Christmas Party

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.

Penn & Teller Performance

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.
