Great Conversation--Terrific Interview

In case you missed it, I had a terrific, inspiring conversation with Teal Gray and Tui Snider on the Teal Gray Worldwide Radio program on Tuesday night.  We talked about my book, about magic (both the performing kind, and the “magic of life” kind!), and got in-depth on the topics of inspiration, creativity, higher awareness, and living in the moment.  If you’d like to check out the replay, you can access it HERE.

 

Thanks!

A Wonder-filled Week

I have a rather full week scheduled, and wanted to share some of the activities with you.

For you early-birds, this Wednesday morning I'll once again be appearing as a guest on the morning news show on WEEK TV-25 with Garry Moore.  They've begun to promote me as "one of their favorite guests".  I'll be on probably sometime shortly before 6 AM.

Then Wednesday evening, I'll be doing my monthly appearance a Tyroni's Italian Cafe in Bartonville.

On Thursday at 6:30 PM, I'll be conducting a lecture, author reading, and book signing event for my book, A Call to Magic, at the Parlin-Ingersoll Library in Canton.

And finally, I'm excited to announce a new restaurant in my schedule.  On Monday evenings for at least the next several weeks, I'll be performing tableside close up magic at Big Racks Steakhouse in Canton.

Hope to see you at one of my public events, this week, or sometime soon!

New Book Review

My book, A Call to Magic, just got a very positive review in Midwest Book Review.  Here's a quote from the review:

"Simply stated, if you only have time to read one self-help, self-improvement instructional guide, then make it A Call to Magic - the Artful Science of Transforming Self and World. Thoroughly 'user friendly' in both tone and content, Mitch Williams is a truly gifted communicator, and his A Call To Magic will prove to be an enduringly popular addition to Self Help reference collections."

A Call to Magic Interview Replays

Here's the replay of the interview I did last night on Real Talk With Lee.  I'm the last guest on the program, and my interview comes on during the last 20 minutes or so of the show.  And here's the interview/podcast I did for the Total Mind Success podcast with Danek Kaus on July 21.  In both cases I talked about my book and about how to bring more "real magic" into our lives.

Mystical Cruise Interview

I had a great talk this afternoon with host Robert Sharpe, on his Mystical Cruise radio program. Here's the interview for replay, in case you missed it:

I'm doing a couple interviews this week to promote my book, A Call to Magic, that you can check out if you like.  The first one is tomorrow at 3 PM central time, and the show is Mystical Cruise with host, Robert Sharpe.  You can use the link to listen live, or for the archived show afterwards.

On Thursday I'm recording an interview on a podcast, Total Mind Success--Interviews with Success Experts with Danek Kaus.  I'm not sure when the show will be posted, but I'll update that when I get the information.

I'm also in the process of booking some other interviews as well, and I'll post updates as I have them.

Tyroni's and Book Promo Extended

Tomorrow evening is my monthly appearance at Tyroni's in Bartonville. Note my new "summer" hours from 5:30 to 8:00 PM.

And if you missed my free Kindle promo for my A Call to Magic book over the weekend, I've extended it for one more day, for today only.  Feel free to share this with anyone you think might be interested.

A Call to Magic Now Free in Kindle Store on Amazon

That's right, the Kindle edition of my book, A Call to Magic - the Artful Science of Transforming Self and World, is now on a special free download promotion through the weekend (and possibly a bit longer). We're trying to get as many downloads as possible in the next three days.  Please help spread the word!  And get yours HERE!

TV Tomorrow!

For you early-birds, I'm going to be appearing once again on the morning news program on WEEK-TV 25 with Garry Moore tomorrow morning, probably around 5:45 AM.  I'm doing a guest spot to promote my Matinee show at Cherry Street on Saturday, as well as my regular spots at Cherry Street, Tyroni's, and Culver's in Morton.

Also coming up at the end of the month, a special promotion for a free download of the Kindle edition of my book, A Call to Magic.  Stay tuned for more details on that.

MLB Interview (2)

Here's a slightly longer version of my interview on the Major League Baseball Network, which also includes a plug for my book:

Book Signing Tomorrow

Just a quick reminder for everyone to stop by I Know You Like a Book in Peoria Heights tomorrow (Saturday, January 26) between 1:30 and 4 PM for my book signing event.  You'll love this wonderful little book store, and you can pick up my book, A Call to Magic - the Artful Science of Transforming Self and World.  Hope to see you there!

TV Spot for Peoria Public Library

Here's the interview I did recently (airing December 5 on Comcast in Peoria) with Trisha Noack for the Peoria Public Library.  Talking about magic, my new book, and my appearance at the Homegrown Holiday Authors' Fair on December 9.

Upcoming Events and Appearances

A few announcements on my upcoming events.  I just taped a Cable TV interview for the Peoria Public Library which will air locally on Comcast on December 5, and if you're not in Peoria (or you just can't wait), it will also be posted on the Library's YouTube Channel a few days before that.  I talked about my new book, A Call to Magic, and several of my other activities.

One of the events we discussed on the interview is the Peoria Public Library author's fair, which I'll be presenting at, and taking part in a book signing, on December 9 at the North Branch Peoria Public Library.  A portion of the sale of each book sold goes to support the Friends of the Library.

On January 19, I'll be appearing in the 2nd annual presentation of my ART of Magic, one-man theatre show at Cherry Street Restaurant and Bar in Galesburg.  Last year's show was pretty much sold out, so don't wait to get tickets if you're planning to attend.  Give the gift of magic this Holiday Season:  show tickets make a great, unique Christmas present!

Finally, I'll also be conducting a book signing at I Know You Like a Book in Peoria Heights from 2:00 to 4:00 PM on Saturday, January 26.

I'll be talking about each of these events and providing more details as they get closer.  If you have questions, feel free to get in touch!

Looking For a Few Voracious Readers...

...or at least some book lovers.  If you love to read, if you enjoy learning about self improvement, personal development, and expanding your potential and your horizons with a more inspired approach to life, I could use your help.  And I think you'll truly enjoy it.

I need at least 5 or 6 more reviews on Amazon for my new book, A Call to Magic, before the official launch two weeks from now.  The Kindle version is on a special $0.99 download (and no, you don't need a Kindle to read it) from now until right before the launch.  The paperback version is about 246 pages, just to give you an idea of the length.

If this sounds like something you'd enjoy, please feel free to download the book, have a look, and give a review on Amazon.  (To review, just go to my product page and scroll down to "Customer Reviews".)  I'd love to hear any feedback that you have.  Thanks for your support!  Enjoy!

It's Live on Amazon

Both the paperback version and the Kindle version of my new book, A Call to Magic, are now live on Amazon and ready for purchase.  The Kindle version is temporarily priced at a special $0.99 until my official launch a couple weeks from now.  I'm hoping to get a few reviews on Amazon before the launch.

Thanks so much to everyone for your encouragement.  I can hardly believe it's finally coming together.

Holiday Entertainment Article

I just discovered that my article on How To Use Entertainment to Make Your Holiday Party a Smashing Success is currently ranking number 3 on Google for the search term "Holiday Party Entertainment".  Not bad, eh?  Of course I have been helping companies and other groups make holiday parties unforgettably fun and entertaining for over 25 years.  (OK, it's actually considerably more than that, but I'm starting to give away my age here!)  If you haven't read the article yet, it has some great tips for planning entertainment for your party.

Anyway, the holidays will be upon us all too soon, and it looks like yet another of those "hot dates" in December is about to fill up.  If you need entertainment, don't wait too long.

On the publishing front, my book, A Call to Magic: the Artful Science of Transforming Self and World, is in the final formatting for the paperback and Kindle versions, and I should have news of a release date sometime soon.  Stay tuned!
