"I have heard from two business associates that were not at the party but saw the card. Both asked about the card because it caught their attention. The stories of that card are making big impressions about my business. Thank you, again."

Communicating with Magic

Magic is an incredible tool for communicating a message. In one of my corporate keynote presentations, I use a piece of magic to illustrate the power of commitment: A volunteer joins me on stage and I hand her an imaginary deck of playing cards. Of course, her ability to commit to this claim is crucial to the trick, so she does her best to pantomime holding this 'invisible' pack of cards. She mentally chooses one card from the pack, folds it into quarters and then places it into an imaginary coin purse. After I congratulate her on her commitment, I reach into the purse and withdraw a real card, folded into quarters. That playing card is unfolded and revealed to be the very one she chose. It's a piece of magic that never fails to draw gasps of amazement from the crowd - not because of the 'magic', but because of the power of commitment.
Whether it's a business-themed presentation, a piece of magic that echos the theme of an event or a custom-printed deck of cards handed out as souvenirs (see this month's video), I love working with my clients to create unforgettable events. I'd love to do the same for you.

Special Deal on my Close-up Show

Magic Castle

To celebrate my upcoming performances at the Magic Castle in Hollywood, I'm pleased to announce a special deal on entertainment for your next intimate event. I'll come to your home or place of business and perform the very same close-up show that I'll be performing at the Castle, plus additional magic I've designed specifically for smaller gatherings (such as dinner parties and board meetings.) It will leave you and your guests filled with wonder, laughter and great memories of your event. Because I'll be testing out a new routine in this show, I'm offering a deep discount on the fee. Contact me soon for more details and to book your date -but hurry, this offer is only good until early May.

My wife Katy recently had laparoscopic surgery for the treatment of endometriosis. It is estimated that over 70 million women and girls have endometriosis world-wide, yet it very often goes undiagnosed. It is more common than breast cancer or AIDS and many other diseases that are well known. Some symptoms include fatigue, general pelvic pain throughout the month, and many others. Endometriosis can often go years without being properly diagnosed. If you or someone you care for are experiencing pain without explanation, visit http://www.endo-resolved.com and talk with your doctor.
