July 11th was a warm and magical day at Bells and Whistles toy store in Los Gatos. I began by passing out tokens at the park down the street, letting everyone know about my performances. We had a very nice large crowd for two shows that afternoon in front of the store. Theresa and John Whitney were very pleased with the response. Thanks to all my fans who read my newsletter and came out to see my shows.
I am pleased to annouce that you can now purchase my BOX OF WONDERS magic sets at the store.

Over 10,000 people appeared on Saturday at the Redwood City 4th of July Celebration. This was my 4th year and you can expect to see me there again next year. Lots of food, music, arts and crafts and more food all day. The weather was not too hot, so my rabbit, Rocky was quite pleased about that. I had one of my 'fans' take some photos and here are a few. I did 4 shows and included several kids in many of my routines. My favorite is, FUZZ BALL. You can see a version of this on my youtube channel that I did for Scotts Valley High School Grad Night.

Well, I'm doing my best to fill up my YouTube channel with those sort of things. Expect to see clips of birthday parties, corporate events, stage illusions, and close-up magic.
Here's a sample from a high school grad night I did recently, the kids were really fun and into it. After the break are a few more videos, or you can go straight to my YouTube channel by clicking here.
My new routine, "Sketch-o-Magic" is a fun and creative illusion where my drawing changes place with the spectator's drawing. Over the past months, I have seen some really interesting drawings of myself thanks to my volunteers. If you were lucky enough to be invited up on stage to draw a picture of me during my Sketch-o-Magic routine, then you may find your drawing here.
e that you can now purchase my BOX OF WONDERS magic sets at the store.
