Magic is a Rodeo!

Wooooooooo!! How's everyone out there doing?! We've been having one heck of a wild ride over the past few weeks. As I mentioned in my last post we recently did 5 shows in 3 days. I think I'm still recovering. I don't think we had one night with more than 4-5 hours of straight sleep. Oh course it was our choice to stay up late and enjoy the hotel lounge but it was worth it :-)

Our first stop was the Sherman Theatre in PA. As we rolled into town the day before we were looking around and BOOM! we found the theatre. Here's a quick pic I took from the car and I didn't even hit the guy stopped in front of me!



The audience here was great and we had an awesome time. A few notable people in the magic industry came out to see our show. It was cool catching up after the show.

After PA we took off to CT for 2 shows on Saturday. We had a few "issues" on the drive there. My assistant and I were following behind the truck in our super stellar blue Hyundai rental car. The long and short of it is the guys driving the truck ended up on the wrong road! Commercial trucks were prohibited from being on the road since there were low bridges (8')! I'm not going to mention any names...(Tim)...but the guys ended up exiting and having to call the state police to escort them off of the highway. Personally, I just think they like escorts. In the end everyone arrived safe and we crashed out since we had an early load in.

My team always amazes me and not just because they let me sleep in while they load in the show. However, on this occasion the venue posed a few minor challenges so my production manager called and woke me up and asked me to come down to the theatre to check things out. We got everything set and before we knew it show time was upon us!

Here's my team (The MOBB) posing for a quick pic before the start of the evening show. I was busy exploring the back stage area while the photo op was going on.



I scored HUGE on my exploration! I came across a conference room that had a large stuffed animal on the table. People in this business always say life on the road is like a rodeo....you bet it is!

(yeeeeehaaaawwww!!!)


Well, for the next few weeks I'm going to be busy in the shop working on a new appearance and a couple of other surprises we're working on for our shows in Michigan. We have 3 shows in 3 days in Michigan coming up here in just a few weeks. If you're in the area come out and see us! The week after our MI run we'll be in Madison, WI, at the Overture Center's Capital Theatre! It's an amazing venue and we're looking forward to performing there!

We have new tour dates and a bunch of other goodies coming soon so stay tuned!!
