Last week I was in Como, MS working a corporate event for the Panola Partnership. They put me up at the Como Inn, 40 miles South of Memphis. I'm pleased to report that this little bed and breakfast was totally wonderful in every way! If you ever find yourself out that way, it's an awesome place to spend some time!
And this trade show brought an entirely different challenge for me. Most of the time, my work at this kind of event is with a single vendor. However, I was booked by the show's producer to help move traffic throughout the entire stadium, giving special attention to traffic flow and any vendors who needed help building crowds around their exhibit.
After three long days of non-stop performing, my feet were aching and I couldn't help but lay down on my giant hotel bed and fall asleep.
The next day I drove seven hours back to Chicago and prepared to fly down to Memphis for a one-night Corporate Event.
Now that I'm back home, I'm working on the scripting for my next Trade Show gig. You'd think scripting information about technology solutions would be boring, but I LOVE IT!
My friend, Kevin O'Donnell produces a rockin' concert every couple months at Martyr's in Chicago. He's allowed me to do a little magic at the last 2 Spectaculars. The most recent of which was just last Tuesday.
Here's a little video of a new bit of magic from the show.
I grew up with magic. It's in my family. My late grandfather and teacher was a phenomenal close-up magician who ran one of this country's earliest mail-order magic shops for many years. I fell in love with magic watching him perform and feel honored that today I am able to continue the family tradition.
