Welcome
Welcome. Whether you’re a magician or looking for one, I hope you’ll check back here regularly. I’ve been busy lately. I spent October, November, and December in Europe on tour—performing my show and lecturing in Spanish, French, and English. And while I performed nearly every evening, I spent every other second exploring, taking photographs of castles, churches, people, and scenery.
I’m writing from my apartment in Manhattan. I relocated to New York nine months ago to push several projects forward. You’ll hear more about these projects when the time is right. I have new representation here, and I’m building a healthy New York client base. It has always been my dream to live and work in Manhattan…and magic is making that dream come true.
The response to the new website has been overwhelming. A veritable team of old and new friends helped me achieve this fantastic web makeover. First, I’d like to thank my new friend, Vito, who has crafted a website I’m very proud of. Vito was first a magician-customer of the site, then promptly “promoted” to web designer. Somewhere in the process, we became fast friends. This pleases me a great deal.
John Armato is another magician-customer who I met at a lecture I presented in Manhattan. We are close friends and “jam” with a deck of cards weekly. I brought John on board to write the ad copy (I’m told that I’m already an excellent braggart, but John brings a tempered elegance I clearly can’t manage).
Sarah Crabtree wears many hats in this operation. Here are some: Administrative Assistant, Project Coordinator, Girlfriend. All of those jobs involve being around me, and that’s not always easy. She exceeds my expectations in every way, and I know how lucky I am.
Finally, there’s Mom (Trish to all of you, unless she’s not telling me something). This website is good news for all of us except Mom. You see, all orders are directed and shipped through her. With Overlap still generating buzz and sales, this is almost a full-time job. She has done the impossible twice since taking on these duties. First, she offers a consistent same-day turnaround for almost all orders. Second, she has befriended all the postal workers in Akron, Ohio—I’m talking “Hi Bob,” “Hi Trish,” stuff. That, my dear readers, takes some powerful charm. She is an invaluable help in more ways than I have blog space.
