Danny, I attended your lecture in Sacramento, CA some years ago.
Not only was your lecture entertaining and full of great magic,
but it showed me that I should, could, and needed to do more than magic on the padded surface of a table if I wanted to be successful.
I don't think I really knew who I was as a performer until I stood up, and started getting people on stage with me.
So it turns out your lecture was one of the most influential I've attended. I got a lot of inspration from your show that evening and I wanted to personally thank you.

Hey Frank,
Thanks so much for your very kind words … one of the underlying themes of that lecture was :How to make your magic play big …
Some of my favorite effects are tricks that I can do for one person, a small crowd or for 700 people …
The act that I did at the Magi Fest for a crowd of 800+ was identical to the act I do at the Magic Castle in the Parlor for 56 people …
As entertainers, it is our job to select and perfect effects that can be seen and understood by audiences of various sizes …
Its comments like yours Frank that make all the time spent creating and lecturing worthwhile …

Danny lectured in Waterloo, Ontario a few months back.
The lecture was great. Fun, entertaining, & informative.
(I LOVED the trick with the bag full of quarters).
As Frank mentions, all the things Danny perfomed can be done standing up, without much need for a table.
I hope he comes back to Ontario someday!

Danny,
I was fortunate to see you perform and lecture last year at the Midwest Magic Jubilee. (It just happened to be my first magic convention.) I loved how your "Big Bill" routine played in the room. I also very much enjoyed your "tough guy" character--since I'd never seen you perform before, you had me very much fooled! Anyway, thanks for helping to make my first convention a memorable experience. (And thanks for the lecture notes!)
