Dallas Magic Clubs Annual Banquet & Award Ceremony

By -
I've just attended the Dallas Magic Club annual banquet and awards ceremony. That's me visiting with professional entertainer and party planner Cinde Sanders, who was responsible for my successful 60th birthday party. Dallas magician Trigg Watson won the trophy for "Best Magician in Dallas", shown here in the center being presented the award by Club President Frank Seltzer on the left, and two-time award-winning world champion Canadian magician Shawn Farquhar on the right. After dinner and the ceremony, Shawn treated us to an absolutely awesome magic show, and even agreed to stay in Dallas one more night to host a magic lecture the following evening. Everyone in attendance had a wonderful time, and the lecture was one of the most educational and entertaining ones that I have ever attended. I just had to get a photo taken of me with Shawn after the lecture; he really is one of the world's greatest magicians, and a great guy off stage, too. Thanks to the Dallas Magic Clubs and to Shawn Farquhar for showing us a great time!

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.
