The Magic of Tommy Johns

All set up at the Northeast Spruill Oaks Library for the penultimate summer library show for 2024! (Barry Mitchell, penultimate means next to last.) This afternoon I will be at the Alpharetta Branch Library for a 2:00 show and that’s a wrap for summer 2024!

I’ve given out about 3,700 bookmarks to kids and a few grownups who attended the shows this summer! Almost 70 shows and nearly a million laughs have made this one of the best summers ever!

“Your Honor, you will notice, at the far end of the courtroom what we would like to call Exhibit A (for Awesome). The defendant is guilty of getting kids excited about reading!”

Today I am at the Buchanan-Haralson Public Library, where the show takes place in the beautiful historic county courthouse. My friends Barry Mitchell and Sam The Turtle were found guilty of the same charges a couple of weeks ago in this very courtroom.

Hey woodworking friends! When we bought the house, I got an amazing workshop and some of the previous owner’s stuff was left behind. Does anyone know what this is? The 7/8” pegs are removable and vary in length from 2-1/2” - 7”.

As I continue organizing the shop, more mysteries may arise. Your input is appreciated!

Spent four days this week driving all over Alabama. This is not a meme. This is TRUTH.

Which of my friends in the Georgia/Alabama area speak/perform for high school audiences? One of my long time elementary school clients has moved to a high school and has asked for recommendations. Needs to be educational or motivational, not just entertaining.

Message me or comment below. Thanks!

I learned a lot about being a father and a good person from this old cowpoke! I still miss him. This is my all time favorite picture with my Daddy.

It’s true. You can Google it. Fact checkers, prove me wrong.

We had the team from Concrete Comfort and Comstruction out to do a driveway repair and they did a great job! Alejandro and his crew showed up, on time and got the job done and it looks perfect! Thanks!

For my magician friends (and those who like optical illusions), this is a new one for me. Turn it 90° clockwise to turn this goat into a rooster. Not sure who drew it, but I found it on Facebook at…

Here are some pretty cool tshirts for my librarian and reader friends!

Give us your lunch money for these shirts, NERD!

For my magician and kidshow performer friends working on their summer library show!

My friend Jim Kleefeld has created a number of magic coloring books, several of which are PERFECT for a show about adventure, the theme for most libraries this summer. They are well made, easy to use and look like real crayon colored pages! You can see all the variations of this updated and much improved classic magic trick at http://www.jimkleefeld.com/prodFlip.html.

Enjoy!
