Dallas Magic Club Meeting October 2017

By -


I had a great time at the Dallas Magic Club meeting the other night. You will never guess who showed up as our special guest - Sean Wilson, the grand-daughter of Mark Wilson, one of my favorite mentors in magic, and the first professional magician that I ever shook hands with. (He is mentioned in my bio on my website.) We shared stories of our experiences with Mark and his wife/stage assistant Nani Darnell, and it reminded me of how much we all depend on inspiration from others in our goals in life.



Dal Sanders, past national president of the Society of American Magicians, presented Sean with her membership certificate. Afterward, a small group of friends hung out at Vernon's Pub down the street to further our discussion of life and all things magical.

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.
