Well...let's see. Things have changed. I no longer do "magic". I have waded into the pool of Mentalism and The Bizarre. This was a smart move. I did a Mentalism/Spooky mindreading at my sister's in Boston recently. My other sister from Calif. was there with her husband. She is not speaking to me currently. She is extremely religious. It bothered her.
I scared the daylights out of her husband (in his 80's), who thinks I'm "possessed". My Boston sister finally called me, and said I am "playing with fire", and need to avoid doing things like that! She said she never knew I could do that! Her husband got a kick out of it! He LOVED their reactions, and thoroughly enjoyed the show! I have to admit, such an easy thing to do, and they thought it was real! I could not have gotten a better compliment! Yeah, I am so glad I tried Mentalism! Beats the hell out of Silks, TT's and Cards, any day! Doug |

Last week, I auditioned for my school's talent show. Two days later, somebody came up to me and said
"Wow! That was awesome and funny! I couldn't tell whether the funny parts were magic or the actualy magic parts were magic!" Haha, that gave me a little chuckle. Then, she said, "I think that was the most I've ever heard you talk!" I cracked up. |

I was told recently that I was "quite the ENTERTAINER".
Which for me is the best compliment I could get. I strive to entertain...rather than to do tricks or magic.
After much soul searching about a signature, I decided not to have one.

I did a card trick where I placed the deck in the card box, and then put the box in a bag. the card a kid selected was "magically" removed from the deck while it was still in the bag and box. It was a small group of kids, they were surprised when the card was found in the bag, except for one kid. she told me her cousin was a magician and had shown here how that trick worked, that the card was never in the card box it was just held against the outside of the card box and that the back of the card looked like the outside of the deck. I had no sleeves and had clearly shown my hand empty as I had placed the box in the bag. But I had taken the extra effort of having another spectator draw with a sharpie on both sides of the card box before putting the cards in it. she had forgotten this. I had clearly shown both sides of the box with the drawings as I placed the box in the bag, therefore no card on the outside. I reminded the girl of that fact. She looked at me silently for a moment while the other kids watched and then she said, "wow, you're good" That was probably an overreaction for such a simple routine, but the extra effort I added to the trick by having someone draw on the box paid off big. The trick I got from Jay Sankey, I developed my own routine/story for it, I added the drawing on the box(glad I did) Her reaction was priceless, genuine amazement. That's why we do magic

To add another to the previous, just last night I heard, "You are a dangerous man!" I like that!

My landladies just left. I have two boxes of magic, of the ones that were found (long story) that were delivered last week from Florida, and the two girls gave me a surprise visit today. They spent an hour here, and I showed them effect after effect...from silks to coins.
Each time, they gasped and looked at each other. Then laughed hysterically! "This is not TV! This is right here in front of us! Ha ha haaa!" When they left, I got hugged like I haven't been hugged in a LONG time. They're both pretty, but one of these ladies is a BEAUTY QUEEN! I'm still tingling... Doug |

Maybe not WHY we get into magic, Doug, but definitely a good reason to KEEP doing it!

Maybe not the best but one of my favorites, from a pretty and sophisticated woman after a show
"I don't like magic but I loved you" Have the great fortune to be allowed into position where I can touch people lives with smiles and amazement, tears of joy and lasting memories ...... Thinking on it for a few minutes the best compliment...... When the same company, organization, event or group hires me back year after year. Not to jinx it but one organization is passing me from department to department, function to function. This March will be the 3rd time I've performed for this organizational in past 8 months and I will be back there in August 2013 also. That is the best compliment and highest honor

Best compliments I get is when the person who hired me approaches me after the show and wants to immediately book me again for their next event.

Some ppl thinking it's witchcraft and saying stuff such as :
"Do you believe in god ?" "Don't you fear hell ?" "Are you a satanist ?" |

Not to hijack the thread, but living in the buckle of the Bible belt, I get that a lot. I kept my magic past a secret for years, and when I finally came out of the closet, several friends expressed concern over even a sponge bunny routine, because I was “practicing deception”.
I’ve had many talks with my wife about duplicity versus conjury. A person doesn’t need magic to be deceitful. But some people just can’t see outside their own tiny little window of marginal understanding. (I’m being as nice as I can, here ) Back on topic, while posing once for a picture standing next to Banachek, he commented that he’d never been photographed with Dan Haggerty (Grizzly Adams); My hair was a little longer then…

Not the best, but one of the most memorable. A young cub scout approached me at the end of the show and very seriously asked if he could have my empty plastic water bottle I'd been sipping from during the show for a souvenir.
What if the Hokey Pokey really IS what it's all about?
My neighbor rang my doorbell at 2:30 a.m. this morning, can you believe that, 2:30 a.m.!? Lucky for him I was still up playing my drums. |

My favorite that I love to get is "you can't do that/that's impossible". It's usually said after the trick is over and they can't figure out how it was done.

I love it when people tell me that I'm entertaining. I love the look on peoples faces when the trick is done and they are so confused
