I got a message today that one of our past lectures was on Channel 8 the other day. There's no magic but its worth a peek to see what John G's "cooler job" looks like :

Hyundai Hope on Wheels Executive Director tells us how the non profit campaign is supporting children with cancer through donations.

Its been a few months. There's been so much magic in DFW there hasn't been room to bring in lectures for a little while. For Example right after the Magic Pebble convention Next Month we'll be bringing in Glenn Morphew the afternoon AFTER the convention giving some of the folks from the convention a little bit of entertainment before they dash off to the airport for their flights.

You can notice that Glenn was recently on Penn & Teller "Fool Us" but if you are paying attention he used his REAL WORKING MATERIAL. He performed it on TV the exact same way he performs it in every show. That's because Glenn has honed is material to be best when its practical and NOT a pipe dream. And his A-list material as performed on TV will be taught at the lecture. (along with some more great stuff with rings, ropes, dice and more)

FOR THIS LECTURE ONLY we will be moving from or regular location to the Farmers Branch Recreation Center which is less than 5 miles from the host hotel of the Pebble so some the folks from out of town will also be able to attend. And the price to attend the lecture will be $25.

I'll be giving more updates but here's the bare bones you'll need to attend:

Just an update on what's going on. We've taken a few months off as the Dallas Club has been bringing in a few lectures to the area that has taken up the slack in a very busy time for me. We do have a lecture coming up that will be announced in the coming weeks and Ihave spoken to a couple others we hope to arrange soon.

Hey guys, Some people asked for my patter for Professor's Nightmare. So I thought I'd post it here. You can probably learn the patter in about the same amount of time it originally took you to learn the trick. (2 days to get through it and 7 days to "rock it". ) Its for anyone to use who takes the time to learn it. 🙂

Come one, come all, gather 'round,
To witness three ropes that will astound.
Each one different in length and size,
and a special talent that you'll recognize.

The first is short for which it's great,
For tying closed that open gate.
The smaller size has more might,
It's perfect for tying a gate up tight.

The next is long enough for which to fly,
Upon a swing and touch the sky.
To pull a curtain or hoist a fountain,
it can even help you climb a mountain.

The final rope is just as keen,
Its not long or short its in between.
But it is no useless piece of string,
It's good for binding most anything.

Now watch me close as I cast my spell,
One will shrink and the other swell,
Which is which is hard to tell,
But each purpose doesn't fit as well.

This one's no good to close a gate in haste,
You can tie a knot, but there's too much waste.
To make a swing, this one's too short,
There's no fun in that, where's the sport?

Ropes the same size? Sometimes that will do,
But each rope was special and unique LIKE (everyone of) YOU.
So when they're all the same, it's really not that great,
Having different sizes made these ropes first-rate!

So raise your hands if you agree with me,
That different sizes they should be.
Let's break the spell of what you see,
And count the ropes one, two, and THREE.

Now let's give a cheer they're again unique,
Being large or small didn't make them strong or weak.
'We're all different, so shout horray! ,
And celebrate being yourself EVERY DAY.
