24/7

If you know me, you know what the title means.
A special prayer room, a full week of prayer. I started on Sunday at midnight to 1AM, continued my shift 2AM through 3:30 AM Sunday morning. I should have stayed until 4, and let the staff sleep. That has bothered me all week. Two of my [...]

Hollow Man

I think I have become one of the hollow men
As I shine on the outside more these days
I can feel the outside feeding on my inside
Leaves a growing darkness in it’s place
I think I have become one of the lonely
Now that everybody talks to me
I feel I have become one of the empty
Hollow men can [...]

Thoughts on the show.

I had this show last Thursday (11/8/07).  70 minutes of magic & storytelling. From my point of view, it was the best I’ve ever done. I connected with the audience on a very intimate level, I had a few absolutely inspired moments and I didn’t drop the cards.
In short, I remember why I love being [...]

I Am. (am i?)

I’m a believer. As such I try my best to let His light shine through my life and my art.
But.
Am I a fraud?

Upcoming Show

Hello casual readers! This coming Thursday, November 8 I will once again present “Tales to Astonish” - a show I’ve poured my soul into for a few years. I hope you can come. If not, I’ll let you know how it goes.

Ten Years

On a cool little blog called “Letters From Kamp Krusty” there is a neat little dedication to the memory of Rich Mullins, who died tragically 10 years ago this week. It stirred some emotion in me regarding following my own path in Jesus. Here’s a quote:
“I tired of the word, “Christian”.  It was originally something [...]

September 3, 2007

“I was proud to be a magician during your show.”
Lyric of the day: ” Drying out a conscience, evicting a nightmare
Opening the doors for the dreams to come home”

Like the First Time

There’s this show Thursday. People are paying to come see me. Sure, there’s dinner (and it’s a good one) but the reason for the event is me. Shouldn’t that be a huge ego boost that I managed to sell tickets?
I have a pretty good act. Is that enough? Are they laughing with me yet? When [...]

Benoit: A Conflict of Conscience (A Selfish Musing)

As you can see from my post of yesterday, Chris Benoit was a casual friend, an admired celebrity and a hero of mine for some time.
As the day goes on and I learn more about the events of the weekend, I face a conflict; someone I held in high esteem has committed a monstrous act. [...]

Chris Benoit 1967 - 2007

A long time hero of mine passed this afternoon.

A few years ago, Chris came to Harper’s with some buddies and his family. I knew him from the WWE, and I got the chance to entertain him, for a change. Very nice, very gracious group.
Almost a year later I’m working a trade show in New Orleans. [...]
