Last Night

Yesterday evening started out at Payne's house for a Smoke and Mirrors Show meeting. The show will be on April 2nd with shows at 2PM & 5PM. All proceeds to benefit a burnt kids organization. Payne and his wife Marie have exquisite taste and their charming house is furnished and decorated beautifully. The meeting was very interesting to me. I have not been involved in all that many stage productions where there were meeting to discuss technical requirements. We went over the acts and what they wanted. We discussed, lighting, sound, prop placement, cues, music etc. . . Rich Waters will be running the spot light and Jeff Dial will be running sound. Jeff will cut a master CD with everyones music on it. I am MC ing the show and it should be a lot of fun. Brian Cook is the show organizer and everything seems to be falling into place.

I encourage the magic community in Seattle and surrounding areas to support this show! Not only will you enjoy it, but it's for a good cause. Put the date on your calendar April 2nd, any buy your tickets in advance!

After the meeting, I went home to a magic session already in progress. Our weekly get together at the Alki Beach Magic Studio is always a good time. Steve Amaden, Tim Flynn & Buster were there with special guest Louie (Isaac) Foxx. Session lasted till 11PM or so and a good time was had by all.
