		<description><![CDATA[My favorite comment after returning from my Philadelphia tour was an email I received from a guest. He wrote, "Your show is a thing of beauty, a magical symphony." Wow. What a nice compliment. But I must say that Philadelphia audiences - who came out in droves to the magnificent Four Seasons hotel last week - made my job a pleasure indeed.

Whenever I launch the show in a new city, there is considerable risk on my part. Will people show up? How do I get the word out? Do I have any fans in that city who can help drum up interest?

Fortunately, Philadelphia is close enough to my home base in NYC that the word spread quickly. I even got a little advance press on a cool blog that has a large local following. The four shows sold-out swiftly, even before I arrived in town.

Another part of the risk in performing in a new city is that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Before serving dinner at a dinner party in Manhattan, my host asked that I do "a little something" for the guests. I declined politely -- I don't like to perform when I'm not actually working -- but when people hear that there's a magician at the table, they expect to see a trick. These were not children, mind you, but some of the wealthiest and most powerful people in New York.

I turned to the woman next to me and asked for one of her earrings. She was hesitant to remove one of her diamond studs for a magic trick. She thought I might damage it. But when our host nodded his approval, she allowed me to remove it.

"The Flying Earring Trick!" I announced, holding up my hand to silence the guests. The glittering diamond earring rested in my left palm, shining in the light from the chandelier overhead. I slowly closed my hand into a fist, and explained that I would make the earring fly - invisibly! -  from one fist into the other. All of the guests looked at me with skepticism as I opened my left fist: empty. They craned their necks in closer. I then opened my right fist: also empty. The lady's face turned pale.

"If the earring didn't fly into my other hand, it could only have gone one other place." I pointed to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The magic wand is an ancient conjuring representation of mystery. To the uninitiated, it's no more than a piece of wood. To me, it is a reminder of the joy and pleasure of an entertainment art that has existed since ancient times.

If you've ever dealt a deck of Tarot Cards, you're familiar with "The Magician" card. It shows a magician pointing up to the heavens with his wand, and down to the ground with his finger. He serves as a human conduit between heaven and earth, his wand serving to draw energy from the universe and to harness it for practical use.

I have a collection of magic wands - some of them quite tricky with built in gadgets - but only one  has the distinguished role of my "working" wand. It was custom-made to my specifications by [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One block away from the White House stands a glorious hotel from yesteryear - The Willard. It was the perfect venue for my recent Chamber Magic tour in Washington DC. I presented four sold-out shows in the Peacock Lounge, and was extremely pleased with the audience reaction. Washington audiences are fun!

I was honored to welcome a notable guest to the show, Julian Bond, the Civil Rights Activist and direct student of Dr Martin Luther King Jr. Mr. Bond was impressed to hear that Martin Luther King wrote his "I have a dream" speech at the Willard Hotel. In fact, the room that King stayed in when writing this speech [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of my heroes is legendary magician Max Malini. This morning I made a pilgrimage to his house in Honolulu, met the current resident, and was invited onto the property to take photos and stand in the Malini garden. It was, quite simply, a sublime experience.

Together with local magician Curtis Kam, I retraced the steps to many of Malini’s old haunting grounds.

Here’s a photo of us in front of Malini’s house [...]]]></description>

It may look small, but you MUST click it to view an amazing panoramic view of the gorgeous St. James room in Boston's Fairmont Copley Plaza hotel. It was taken minutes before the doors opened to the public. As you can see, the mahogany walls and soaring window drapery provided the perfect backdrop for a classical magic performance.
