Magician quote of the day.

When I was a kid, people wanted to be an astronaut. Today, kids want to be famous, and that’s totally the wrong approach. You have to have authenticity in what you’re doing. You have to really care about the core message of what you’re saying, and then everything else will fall into place.

Good afternoon my friends. I hope you all are well. I have done a few zoom close up shows recently, requested by families and small groups, and I have been asked by some to do a small zoom show for their families.

Here is my deal kind people. I will do 25 minute zoom close up shows for your family and friends or Church groups in scheduled slots. All you have to do is make a donation of food or cash amounts that you can afford to the Heartland Humane society.

Message me here for information and to set up a time if you are interested.

Thank you all for your support. It has been great.
