103rd Salute to Magic a rousing success!!

Congratulations to Richie Magic, The Great Throwdini and their production team on a wonderfully fun, magical, comedy filled evening.
The Society of American Magician's Parent Assembly #1's, annual Salute to Magic happened last night at Theater 80 on St. Mark's Place in NYC and the show was great. Illusions, comedy, incredible magic, and the presentation to my friend and mentor Victor Sendax the award for Magician of The Year for his contribution to the PA#1 and magic over the years. Bravo Victor!
Richie Magic, the Assembly's President Elect with our Treasurer The Great Throwdini produced the show late in the game this year and managed to pull together a well rounded fast paced evening of entertainment that left the with sore hands from all the clapping....Here is the line up: MC Todd Robbins of Coney Island Side show fame (I am a huge fan of this guy), The cutting edge magic, manipulation and dove work by Elliot Zimit, The Great Throwdini amazed the room with skill and precision (and the double veiled wheel of death was a spine tingler!), Ventriloquist John Pizzi kept the laughs coming from his gallery of puppet characters, and finally the very entertaining Lyn Dillies who performed Grand Illusion that had everyone in awe. And the applause continued. The final curtain call included the SYM (Society of Young Magicians) members who performed close up magic for the audience during intermission...very talented kids. I'm going to say it again...every act was perfect, we were a lucky audience....
After the show Phineas and I asked Richie Magic to introduce us to Todd Robbins. As I said earlier we are both big fans of his work over the years and it was cool to meet him and thank him.
A great evening of Magical theater put together by some of my favorite people in the business....Thanks!
keep 'em clean.

Bark for Life a rousing success....

What a great turnout for the 2012 American Cancer Society Bark for Life Dog walk at Riverside Park in NYC. Phineas, Pupperdoodle and I walked behind Four Paw and he did GREAT! He walked all morning and for a puppy with such short legs he was a trooper. Showing up in full clown was lots of fun and generated lots of looks and photo opps for everyone. What's better than a picture of your dog with our family of clowns. We were interviewed by a few reporters including a video interview for NY1 News, so keep your eyes peeled for all the media ( I hope it doesn't all end up on the cutting room floor).
Now remember what's behind all of this...team CIRCUS BICUSPID raised $264 in donations and some additional on site donations for the American Cancer Society! We are very proud of our puppy and all the good work he is doing....he's a star. I posted some photos on Twitter during the walk and I'll post some photos here when we get them all together.
