If you thought the "Out of This World" magic show was amazing, wait until you get a load of "Magic, Myth & Mirth"! Yes, the show will be fairy tale themed, but don't let that fool you. It's going to be a great show for young children, older kids, parents and even grandparents. If you've ever had me at your library before, you know that my show plays well for all age groups, and Magic, Myth & Mirth is no exception. This show has it all...wizards, dragons, royalty and much more

If your library is in Northeast Nebraska or Southeast South Dakota, I've got a great deal for you! The Hartington, Nebraska Public Library is interested in having me do a show on Friday, July 13th (Yes, Friday the 13th) and they're looking for a few libraries to partner with them that day. By partnering with them on that day, I offer both libraries a great discount. So many times I'll get a call or e-mail from a library hundreds of miles away asking what I'd charge to do a sh

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

I've been hard at work on my new Summer Reading Program Library Show. I think you'll like the way I've themed the show to go along with this year's theme. You'll see lots of sports and fitness references from jump ropes to NASCAR to running. I've even got a trick that involves bowling. As always, you can expect lots of audience participation, family-friendly humor and brand-new magic. I do want to clue you in on something. One of the tricks I do utilizes fake smoke. I a

My heart sank the other day when I read the headline in the Omaha World Herald. Evidently, someone was injured during a hypnosis show at the Omaha Funny Bone Comedy Club and now the person is suing. As a stage hypnotist myself, I always use extreme caution when doing a show. But, sometimes things happen.I've had people fall off chairs, say off-color things and do things that were somewhat questionable in taste. Bear in mind that I NEVER led them to do these things...they

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

I've told my wife that this summer she has to just assume she still has a husband, because she's not going to be seeing very much of me. As my schedule starts to fill up, I find myself traveling greater distances. Just today, I booked my 57th (I think) library of the summer in Lexington, Nebraska. I first peformed at the Lexington Public Library several years ago when it was in it's older, smaller building. The library had that old charm and "old library smell" that I relish

Sometimes I sit back and wonder "what am I doing right???" Librarians from three states have been keeping me busy booking magic shows for the 2015 Summer Reading Program. Recently, Gretna Public Library put me over a major milestone. They are the 50th library to book me for this summer. To put this in perspective, I have NEVER booked 50 libraries before. In fact, I think that last year my final count was 45 shows at 35 different libraries. Right now I'm at 62 shows at 50

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

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.
