Tyroni's December Appearance

Tonight's my night to be at Tyroni's in Bartonville.  Stop in and see me!

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.

More Schedule Updates

Just a quick note that I won't be at Cherry Street in Galesburg for the next two Saturdays, (December 1 and 8) as I'm working private holiday events those nights.  I will be returning on December 15 for my regular schedule, 7:00 to 9:30 PM.

I will be at Tyroni's in Bartonville this coming Wednesday, December 5, from 5:00 to 7:30 PM, however, so stop by if you can.  (It's a great break from Christmas shopping!)

Also a reminder that I'll be taking part in the authors' fair at the North Branch Peoria Public Library on Sunday, December 9 from 1:00 to 4:00 PM.  I'm scheduled to speak there at 3:00 PM, so please tell all your friends, and stop by if you can.  A portion of all book sales go to benefit Friends of the Library.

And if you're one of the lucky people who are hiring me to perform at a holiday event, Ill see you soon! :)

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!

Parlin Library Magic

Here are a few photos of me having fun performing magic last week at Family Night at Parlin Ingersoll Library here in Canton:

Happy Thanksgiving!

As we approach Thanksgiving tomorrow, I'm reminded of the many blessings in my life.  My loving and devoted wife, Kathi; my many friends; my family; and my clients and customers who enable me to continue pursuing the life that I love, doing what I enjoy most.

Thanks to all of you who bring the real magic into my life in so many, many ways.  I'm simply overwhelmed with gratitude and humility by your contributions to my life.

Have a blessed and joyous Thanksgiving.

Tyroni's

Hey, if you're out and about, or just looking for some good food and something to do this evening, be sure to stop by Tyroni's Italian Cafe in Bartonville.  It's my monthly appearance there. Great Italian food, relaxed atmosphere, and my outstanding close up magic! A good time guaranteed!

Tricks AND Treats!

Yes, that's right, since I'm not working tonight, the little munchkins that come to our house for trick-or-treating, will get not one, but both!  If you live in Canton and have kids, stop by! Magic and chocolate! Who could top that?

Happy National Magic Day!

Yes, today, Halloween, October 31, is also National Magic Day. I just got back from my appearance this morning on the morning news program on WEEK-TV 25, a little before 6:00 AM this morning.  (I don't know how those news folks get up so incredibly early every day.)

On the show, in addition to my interview, (and plugging my new book, A Call to Magic) they also featured my photo/slide for ArtsPartners' All About the Arts campaign for National Arts and Humanities Month.  I was involved with putting the campaign together, and part of it involved these artistic photographic slides, each one featuring a different artist or arts supporter as an "ArtsPartner".  They've been running a different slide each day this month, both on the news programs on WEEK-TV, as well as on WTVP-TV 47.

So keep your eyes peeled the rest of the day on those stations for my slide, since it should be featured throughout the day today.  And if you'd like to see the rest of the slides (most of which are absolutely fabulous!) go to:  www.artspartners.net/join/features.  And if you haven't done so yet, be sure to "Like" ArtsPartners on Facebook. (And as long as you're there, make sure you've "Liked" my Fan Page as well!)
