Happy National Magic Week!  And Friday is National Magic Day.  And a reminder to watch for me tomorrow (Wednesday) morning around 6:40 AM when I'll be on This Morning, the morning news program on channel 31 WMBD-TV.

Another TV Spot!

I've just been invited to be a guest on WMBD-31's morning news program This Morning on Wednesday, October 29.  The interview should be on around 6:40 AM.  Get up early and check it out!

Mitch on WEEK-TV 25

In case you weren't up to see this at 5:50 AM this morning, here I am with Garry Moore on News 25 Today.  Talking about National Magic Week, and National Magic Day.

Just a reminder that I'll be performing at the GirlsEmpo Fundraiser this weekend to benefit the work to empower rural, low-income girls in Guatemala. It will take place during International Girls' Day at Prairie Center of the Arts (located in the Peoria Warehouse District at 1506 SW Washington St. in Peoria) from 6 - 9 pm. Celebrate all girls and help raise funds for education and girls' clubs for children living in poverty in Guatemala. A silent auction of artwork donated by local artists, gift baskets and more will take place also plus baskets and purses handcrafted by Guatemalan artisan women will be available for sale. Admission is free. For more information, visit www.GIRLSEMPO.org
