March Madness!
It seems like March is the month for booking libraries! I've been getting calls and e-mails from one or two libraries each week for the last couple of months, but it seems like March is the month when everything explodes! It's not unusual for me to get contacted by two or three libraries per day during this month. But you libraries aren't the only ones making my phone ring. During the summer I also perform at a lot of child care facilities, Summer School Programs, fairs, fest

Summer Reading Program Magic Classes
Somebody once told me that there were more books written on the art of magic than on all of the other performing arts combined! At first I found that hard to believe. After all, there's acting, singing, dance, mime, juggling...the list went on and on. I thought that would be impossible! But then I started to really look at it. Personally, I have well over 100 books on magic in my library. The local magic club I belong to boasts over 1,000 books and videos on the art of magic.

Christmas is Coming a Week Late!
Well, actually it's a little more than a week. I ordered a large shipment of new magic INCLUDING some things for the 2018 Summer Reading Program and I've received notification that they're going to be delivered TOMORROW! I still get a little giddy when I'm waiting for packages to arrive. One of the tricks being delivered is what I hope will be the Grand Finale to the "Libraries Rock" Summer Reading Program show. Every year I spend hundreds, if not thousands of dollars putting

Let's Rock Your Library!
Wow. I have a feeling that the 2018 Summer Reading Program season is going to be fun for all of us! I'm putting together all of my new tricks and routines and I'm so excited with the show that's under development. The show will have lots of music-related tricks and routines along with brand-new, fun audience participation segments. As of today, about 2 dozen libraries have already put me on their schedules for next summer. Many of them have me for multiple shows. If you'd li

Grand Champion? Me?
Wow! One week ago I competed against 6 other wonderful magicians from around the country and when the results came in, I was named the 2016 Grand Champion of the Children's Magician of the Year contest. I couldn't believe it when they called my name. Several other very talented magicians were in the contest. Earlier this month, the Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce recognized me for being in business 25 years. In 6 weeks, I'll become the 100th President of the Society of A

The 2016 Library Summer Reading Program season is going to be a lot of fun. My calendar is starting to fill up quite nicely for this early in the season.

On Wednesday, June 29th I'm at the Broken Bow Library at 10 a.m. On Thursday, June 30th I'm at the Library in Palmer, Nebraska

Happy Holidays!
Hi Everyone! I hope you're having a wonderful Holiday Season! The children are out of school and hopefully you've been seeing more and more of them at your library. Just remember that we're only about 6 months away from Summer Reading Program time. Thank you so much for keeping me in mind when planning your Summer Reading Program. My all-new show for next year is going to be AMAZING! In keeping with the sports theme, every trick will be connected to sports or fitness in

Omaha Magician Flying High
I recently attended the Society of American Magicians National Council Meeting in Salt Lake City. As the National 1st Vice President, I am always involved in countless meetings and planning sessions. Unfortunately, I had to leave for Salt Lake City on my birthday (a collective "awwwww" would be appreciated here.) So although I couldn't be with my family on that day, I was still among friends. After a full day of informal meetings and get-togethers on my birthday, I treated

How I Started
One question I get asked most frequently is "How did you get your start?" Well, recently the website www.gofireyourself.com did a feature story on me that answers that question. Enjoy.

Nor did he have a panic attack or spend time sulking and watching reruns of Ch
