Central Illinois Magic Gettogether HUGE Success!

What a terrific day in Springfield, Illinois! Great to see so many old friends and meeting new ones as well. Fellow Colonite and magic nut Ron Carnell and I made the journey to Lincoln Land on Friday. Such a nice town and full of nostalgia. The theater is just a city block from the Abraham Lincoln birthplace.

My hat is off to Jeff Harpring & Eldon Roark for working their 'tails' off to make sure everyone was happy!
Riley & I had the privelege of performing on the evening show with Tom Burgoon, Jade,The Camp Family, Tony Dowell and our emcee Doc Eason. Here are some pics of the day and night show..

Good to see Jimmy Molinari perform his wonders with a deck of cards.
Ed Marlo would certainly be proud. What he can do with a deck of cards is just incredible!
