Dallas Magic Club Officer Installation

By -


This has been an awesome week for magic in Dallas! The Dallas Magic Club just hosted its annual officer installation banquet and magic show at Brookhaven Country Club, and after being a member of the Club for over eighteen years, I have finally been elected as the Club's new Vice-President! This is a huge responsibility for me, since I will serve as the Club's program director, being in charge of the content of the monthly meetings, among many other duties. Pictured are the new officers from left to right, President Joey Byers, Vice-President Daryl Howard, International Brotherhood of Magicians President Oscar Munoz who made a special trip to Dallas to swear us in, Treasurer and Wylie Mayor Eric Hogue, and Secretary Dr. Mike Blum.


Afterward, we enjoyed a hilarious fun-filled magic show by Oscar Muñoz, winner of the prestigious IBM Gold Cups award. I was also able to attend a lecture by Oscar before the banquet, and learned some really cool coin magic, as well as some expert techniques with the Chinese Linking Rings and ball productions. More photos of the event will be available on the Club's website, DallasMagic.org plus a few on my Facebook page. Time to get back to work on my magic!

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.
