Magic Castle Close-up

I saw two great performances in the close-up room this evening.Veteran Allan Ackerman did wonderful sleight of hand card magic followed by the young and talented Eric Jones. It was interesting to see other magician members performing in the other rooms as well. One magician did his entire performance in Spanish which I enjoyed. I did some card and coin magic for a couple that requested me in the earlier part of the night. My friend Otmaro did a performance in the dungeon that I happened to walk into; we discussed card ideas after the audience left. It was an enjoyable evening...

Magic Castle Amazement!

I saw Derek Hughes in the Parlour show. He was hilarious! Then I saw David Minkin perform in the close-up room. His slight of hand magic is something to strive for. I really enjoyed watching his flawless technique...

Birthday Dinner Magic

A quiet dinner at Mo's restaurant in Burbank for my birthday last night at around 9pm. Lou performed an awesome set of card and coin magic. From the left Danny, Lou Serrano and his girlfriend Dee; myself, Matt Salinas on the far right...

Invited friends to the Magic Castle

I invited Mike Galvin and seven of his friends to the Magic Castle tonight. I enjoyed watching Gregory Wilson in the Palace along with Christopher Hart and Dimmare. The performance was very entertaining. Dimmare did some new material which I had never seen before. I enjoyed it.  In the close-up room, Henry Evans did excellent card magic. What an extremely talented man...

Holly Marie Combs

I met Holly Marie Combs tonight! I was so happy to meet one of the charmed ones. I told her that I was a huge fan and also a magician. Her eyes lite up and she said, "Well, I'll have to keep that in mind".
