The meal will be provided by The Golden Ox so it should be fantastic!  You can go to the Paradise website by clicking here or feel free to contact me for more info. So, what can you expect to see?

  • A glass ketchup bottle will vanish right before your eyes!

  •  I will correctly reveal thought of playing cards without even touching the deck!

  •  I will produce a live dove… or will I?

  •  A borrowed $100 dollar bill vanishes in a burst of flames only to reappear in a strange and impossible location!

  •  I will correctly predict a phone number chosen randomly from a telephone book!

  •  All this plus much more!

  •  Also, I have a special surprise guest, my good friend, magician and mentalist Devin Henderson. He will be performing his blindfold act. You have got to see this to believe it!

Tickets are selling fast but there are definitely still seats available and we want to pack the house! So come on out and enjoy an evening of Magic, Comedy and great food! I hope to see you on 5/12!

Gilda’s Club is a cancer support foundation named in honor of the late Gilda Radner (best known from her work in the early days of Saturday Night Live) who died from Cancer in 1989. For more info you can go to their website at http://www.gildasclubkc.org/

The event was held at the Midland Theater and the show was put on by the Second City Touring Company with special guest Jason Sudeikis. Jason is currently in his 6th season of Saturday Night Live but he is also known for his work on the big screen in movies such as Hall Pass, The Bounty Hunter and What Happens In Vegas. The show was a combination of sketch comedy and improvisation and it was a hoot. Performing along with Jason were, Warren Phynix Johnson, Kevin Sciretta, Derek Shipman, Andel Sudik and Natalie Sullivan. Remember these names as you might just see them on SNL some day soon. They were all very talented and hilarious. I honestly thought the sketches were much better than what you see on SNL. Just my opinion.

After the show some of the crowd migrated to the VIP room for cocktails and hors d’oeuvres. That’s where I came in. I roamed among the crowd amazing and amusing the guests. It was a great night and if everyone had half as much fun as I did I think we can call it a success. 

I am attaching some pictures of Jason Sudeikis and me. He seemed like a nice guy at first then he got really angry. He might be bi-polar. You be the judge.
