Sunday at The Castle.
Today was bitter-sweet, to be sure.

Sweet because I had six shows, and five of them were the best audiences of the week. Sweet because I was proud to complete another week of shows at The World Famous Magic Castle.

Bitter because it meant that it was time for me to leave...

I started my day with another round of Brunch shows for families. I had three shows, and the first and third were spectacular. I was so energized by the crowd...and the routines just flowed.

Also because I was blessed with special guests. A friend of mine who lives in the greater L.A. area, Jeff, and his family came to see my shows, and spend a day at The Castle. They had never been, and that's always a thrill when I can let someone experience the magic for the first time.

They got to see two of my shows, the big show in The Palace of Mystery, and spent some time with Erma (the piano playing ghost) making requests.

Here we are in The Parlour of Prestidigitation:



I then had to set-up for my evening shows...

I realized that I had some time to kill, so I walked the five-minute stroll to Hollywood Blvd. to take in some sites. I decided to see the Hollywood Wax museum.

Cheeze, I know, but I'd never been.

It was actually quite cool. I do recommended it. I took lots of pictures, but I won't bore you with them all. Only a few...

Here I am auditioning for the next Terminator film:



And teaching Spiderman how to aim:



My Mommy Says I'm Special...

I did the evening shows...and they were wonderful. I'm so glad to end my run with such generous people.

I then had to sadly pack-up and say good-bye to everyone, including the performer with whom I shared the Parlour, Charles Arlington:



So...thus ends another week at The Magic Castle. I hope to return soon...it really does seem like home.

Tomorrow I have to make it half-way to Oklahoma City for shows I have on Wednesday. Drive, DRIVE, D R I V E!
