Louisville Kentucky based magician Manny Ehrlich performed for Gene Simmons (KISS) during a recent taping of the TV series Family Jewels. Mr. Simmon's was in town for the Kentucky Derby and the shoot took place inside the clubhouse of Fuzzy Zoeller's Covered Bridge Country Club.
During his performance Gene Simmons told Manny he could turn his one-dollar bill into a thousand. Gene took the bill and signed it, then he drew a KISS face on George Washington. He told Manny it's now worth a thousand dollars. Manny is a young handsome man in his eighties. He had no idea who he was going to perform for until he got there. Then he still didn't know who Gene was. Hearing his story I know it was a great performance. Hopefully he won't be edited out. Look for the airing the 3rd week of July on A &E. Look for the signed bill on EBAY (Joke) Manny is the demonstrator of magic at Caufield's in Louisville. The same magic shop where Lance Burton and Mac King worked as teenagers. If you get in the area stop by and say hello. Dennis Alm |

Well I can't blame Manny on that one, I'm not near that old and until my wife the other day told me who Gene Simmons was (his show was on TV) I had no clue, and certainly never associated him with the Guy with the Tongue from Kiss.
But Gene's auto on a buck, nah, not worth that much.

It that segment makes it to air then some Simmons fan may pay more to get that actual bill they saw signed on tv. Genes image of " aren't I something" seems to be part of the Family Jewels show.

Geme is a relentless promoter. I don't agree with everything he says but his book "Sex, Money, Kiss" is a great book if you are interested in ideas about how to promote yourself.

Ace the guitar player from Kiss is an amateur magician ... He came to see my show about 6 or 7 years ago and he hung out for about 2 hours after the show ... Funny guy ... loves to have a good time ....

Just watched the show and Manny did a great job. I should have a clip up in a few days. Manny is a great guy and fine entertainer.

I just caught the show in a later rerun. Now that its aired you might just get more from a die hard Gene Simmons fan for that buck. By the way.. if any Café Members are Simmons fans and are attending the IBM/SAM convention in Louisville next year you may want to know that Gene stayed at the the Galt House Hotel during his visit to Louisville. Rm #519 Its the same hotel that the convention is booking.
I think Manny did good job grabbing the spotlight back from Gene and the chaos that interrupted his routine. Best, Tim |

Caulfield's Magic (where Manny demos) is only 6 blocks from the Galt House. A 60 year old magic & novelty store with a rich history. Here's the clip of Manny on Family Jewels http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RV0p-Ua1BN4 Dennis |

I've seen Manny at Caufields before and he is a great guy full of advice,but he is very busy with his magic,so I hardly ever get to see him when I go there,which is why I prefer going to Candleworx over Caufields. He did do a great job on the show though.
