Always a great time to see old friends who I have known from one company or another who moved to another great company. Like my friend Gina, now at Smith Barney, whom I had the pleasure of working with once again as the strolling cocktail party magician. And to boot – the best casino company in the land – Black Diamond Casino Events was there as well to continue the high energy entertainment after dinner.
I believe that events like this really keep you excited about what you do and keep me sharp. In reality, I show up with a deck of cards in my pocket, some coins, dollars and maybe a few other surprised in my pockets. But with that, I have opportunity to hold a group captivated and in awe…and it’s priceless to see their faces, reactions and hear them scream and laugh in disbelief.
They go home with souveniers from their night as they witnessed rings dissappear and end up in impossible locations – along with someone’s watch. Money changes in front of their eyes separate cards which were signed by spectator end up bonded together forever – truly unique sleight-of-hand skills (yes granted…they have taken years to perfect) that mixes comedy, illusion and deception into a memorable night of sleight-of-hand and sleight-of-mouth.
Thank you for the laughs Smith Barney team- it was truly a pleasure to meet and work with you all.
