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!
Had a fantastic time at the Dallas Magic Club meeting on Tuesday! As the Club's official photographer, I hosted a mini-lecture on making your magic look better, based on photographs that I have taken of other performers on stage over the years. The lecture went well, in spite of the fact that we had problems with the stage lights. Wouldn't you know that we'd have issues with the lights on the night that the photographer was scheduled to be on stage!
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.
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.
