We are moving into our new townhouse!

The title says it all!

My wife, son, and I are moving into our new townhouse on Wednesday! I'm looking forward to having a garage were I can set up my woodshop again and have extra space to set up an area wee I can video-tape my rehearsals to work on my current show a bit more.

The month of May is not a busy month for me as I only have a couple shows booked for this month; however, next month I am booked every weekend with several weekday shows booked! I will be in Las Vegas June 6th-9th on business and am excited to use some of my free time getting pictures done in my performance costume (my blue suit) for promotional use.

I've been dissecting each routine I do in my own show and adding and taking away various lines I use to make it more entertaining and allow a little room for audience involvement and ad-libbing as well.

I've been highly inspired by watching Jeff McBride, Mac King, Nick Lewin, and Micheal Finney's performances and how they have a continual flow from one effect to the next. I'm trying to make a lot of the stuff I perform my own and concrete performances.

I'm sure I'll take a short break until my next blog due to the move and getting settled in... I hope to post a video or two with a closer look at how I've condensed my stand-up show from a complete show that took up all the room in my car to transport -to- a show that fits in an ATA case that fits in the trunk... Believe it or not, I seem to get more milage out of the new material... What is new... is actually old classics of magic!

More to come later...
