Rules of Professional Magic

This video was entered into a contest at the World Magic Seminar. I'm glad to see that it's found a new home on the Internet because this cracked me up.

Cards and Coins Tricks in Dallas

Dallas is full of beautiful women. Fortunately for me beautiful women love magic. I had the pleasure of performing a closeup show at a grand opening event last week. Wow! I had a terrific time. I decided to try something new for me. Instead of walking around or using whatever table they had for me, I actually made my own closeup table. Then I set up bar chairs around it with enough room for a dozen seated and probably 20 or in standing room only show. The cards, coins and other items created some unbelievable moments and a friend of mine, Victoria, captured a few of them on digital. So I'd like to share them with you.



A few of my beautiful fans.



The physical stage I set up.



Notice the look of astonishment on both of their faces. Also notice that I had to avert my eyes the entire act.

My Gut Reaction to the Immigration Issue

This has nothing to do with magic, but does have to do with life. I have a good friend who is a perfect example of who should be given some sort of amnesty. My favorite bartender, has learned English fluently in four years, works two jobs and attends community college courses to better herself all while sending money home to care for her mother. (Besides all this she is cute too)

On a personal note, I tried to get my car washed and none were open. The restaurant that my wife and I frequent was also closed. We do take advantage of these hard working people, and we all prefer to let their green cards slide because we all take the towel guys, waiters, landscapers, maids, construction workers, day laborers, meat packers, produce workers, chicken-pluckers, McDonald's employees, and bus boys for granted.

I'm for an earned citizenship program and an immediate $3000 fine for breaking the law in the first place. Any unpaid back taxes should be paid. Law breakers (other than Immigration) should be sent packing. The revenue from the fines would go into increasing the funding for border security. The 2000 census suggests that their are around 8 million illegal immigrants, so that would be about $24 Billion dollars.

But most of all I believe that we need to RAISE THE %$..@! MINIMUM WAGE! That would solve most of the problem because Americans would suddenly find those seemingly unworthy jobs worth doing.
