ok, you are planning your menu with the on-location chef or caterer. It takes a lot of planning to choose meal choices you think will please the majority of your friends and family. Are there any allergies to worry about? Do you give enough choices to accommodate all the different taste buds? Now that that's done it's time to think about the music selections from the DJ or choosing a band that matches your music likes; do you try and have something from different genres and variety from country to pop to maybe rock and roll. Now it's time to… Read More...
Halloween is a magical time; spooky fun happens all around from decorations, kids costumes, to even music on the radio and tv shows are all covering monsters and magic. Magicians, wizards (like Harry Potter) & witches are a big part of Halloween in subtle and blatant ways; magic shows at Halloween parties to a month of vampires, Friday the 13th movies on the television. Companies may even choose to do an employee Halloween function that parents can bring their families too. A couple years ago during the pandemic 2021 Oct. I was a roaming magician for a trick or trunk… Read More...

Festivals happen in the summer and fall for all kinds of events; like town celebrations, schools end of school or fall festivals, to holiday festivals.

So much planning goes into the day of event; location usually many months to even 2 years booked ahead of the wedding date.

Parents of High Schools back in the 80's created a chemical free night on graduation night for seniors. To many drinking and driving accidents happened with seniors on graduation nights; so a totally fun night was started to make graduations safe. Entertainment, food, and fun are the building blocks of seniors fun times on these events. Entertainment comes in the form of DJ's, Hypnotists, magicians, bounce inflatables, caricature artists, comedians, temporary tattoos, to chair massages. Depending on the fund raising of that senior class will depend on how many extra fun activities they can provide:) I have been performing at… Read More...
Some things naturally go together like peanut butter and jelly; cake and birthdays, and magic(ians) and Halloween! Magic is a natural because it started out as Trick or Treat (trick is in the phrase kids all say while dressing up in costumes on the hunt for free candy.) Who doesn't remember dressing up and trying to bob for apples, eating candy corn, or trying to win the best costume at your school Halloween party?:) Witches and Warlocks create magic so the symbol of magic is a big part of the fun for those of us just looking for candy and… Read More...

What child has not been fascinated with magic; from a coin being pulled from their ear, to learning their very own card trick. Magic had been a secretive art passed down from pro to practitioner for over 100 years. When I was growing up a magazine became available on the newsstand called ' the Magic Magazine.' I remember hearing pros where so against the magazine because allow with great articles, advice, it introduced newer magicians like myself to some really great magic tricks to learn. Learning any art form can be challenging especially without a mentor/teacher. That is where I… Read More...
