WHAT THE???

LOL!

Just ride with it Bill. Maybe the Enquirer or People magazine will get a hold of it.

FWIW I watched your DVDs again last night (really this morning, if you want to be technical), It is all just great stuff and true 'family' entertainment. I know a lot of times the adults go a bit glassy eyed when a performer works for the kiddies. There is a little something for everybody in all of your routines.

I only wish more guys who were out there actually doing it put out stuff as good as this. You are the man Bill.

Best,

Dan-

Thank you Daniel.
I don't think I've even watched my DVDs more than once.
You are a trooper!

I'd like to thank the Academy, Chico, my dear departed dog Flash,
any one who ever had a DVD...thank you, thank you.

May magic live on in our hearts.

Bill, when you came to Minnesota, I hope you had a registration for Chico, from what it looks like his living conditions arn't that great either. That's against the law you know, Chico could be taken away! Does he even get paid? I mean besides bananas?

I hate to think how a magician's dog unfortunatley named flash died!!!

Good Evening,

Christian - It's a puppet.
Zamboni - Let me take this time to highly recommend the DVD Bill Abbott Performs Close-Up For Kids, where the very routine "Flash" can be found. Here's a quote from Danny Hustle (no stranger to a little animal endangerment himself, so I've heard)...

"The best (and most original) version of ashes to hand I have ever seen. "

Again that's, Bill Abbott Performs Close-Up For Kids, found wherever good, bad and overpriced magic is sold.

Now, will you let me go to bed. For crying out loud people, go and do a show or something, I'm getting hemorroids sitting at this computer.

Good Night

Mr. Abbott

Just wanted to say thanks to you for the many fine routines you have provided on your "Bill Abbott Performs Close-Up For Kids" DVD. From it, I've gotten several good ideas for my restaurant work.

Andrew

Andrew,

Thank you for the encouraging words.
It really is a pleasure to know that someone has been able to apply something that I've offered.

Sincerely

Bill
