| A
Day At The World Famous Magic Castle!
|
Wow!
What a wonderful weekend in "Magic Heaven" at the Hollywood
Magic Castle. No matter how many times I go, how many years pass by,
the Magic Castle us one of those rare and truly magical places that never
looses it's luster or excitement. Many of us look forward to certain experiences in life,
yet once enjoyed and then repeated, they seem to never be as mystical and
exciting as that special first time. The exception to this "law of diminishing
returns" at least for me - is the world famous, Magic Castle. There really is a magical feeling when you attend the Magic Castle - it's
even stronger when you are a magician too.

I'm sure the lay people also enjoy the experience of the
magic castle, but for a magician - relaxing with your peers at the Jim
Patton's VIP bar (reserved for magicians), you really don't want to leave
this wonderful and warm place.
The purpose of this visit was to attend our fourth
"Magic Castle - Dealer Day." Joining us in this (and future) dealer days are our good
friends:
George and Carol Robinson of Viking Manufacturing
and Collector's Workshop - McAllen, TX
George and Carol Robinson - A great
team effort that has an incredible success story since 1972. George is a
softhearted, humble man with a phenomenal talent for craftsmanship of some of
the best quality magical apparatus in the world. George is a tremendous idea man
capable of creating and discovering a plethora of new and exiting magical
effects in brass, (and other metals) and woods. George has some tremendously
exciting products that will be forthcoming in 2005, many of which have taken up
to three years and are in the end stages of development! Bottom line, George and
Carol are two warm and wonderful human beings we are proud to count as close
friends and business partners.

routine - which even the camera was able to pick up his white art moustache!
This is his newest performance show he has been working on for three years. |
I
remember when we first started doing these "dealer days" we also had
Al's Magic Shop (Al and Alice Cohen) - Washington, D.C., go with us. I
always enjoyed it when Al was there - let's face it- he is the master when it
comes to the art of display.
