Travelling with a Magic Show

Yesterday was a long travel day, but I made it to the hotel in Cozumel, Mexico. Luckily, the hotel is a block from the port where I’ll board the ship this afternoon.

I’m really loving travelling with my Porter Case. That’s a carry-on-size case that becomes a dolly for carrying other things. You can read my blog post about the Porter Case HERE. In the picture below, which is below the white suitcase. The suitcase has my clothes and personal things, and my backpack has all of the electronics for the show (camera, iPad, etc.)

Another thing that really helps when traveling is speaking another language. I speak a little Spanish, but it really helped me navigate customs when entering Mexico. I’ve done several audio courses in the past without much success, but the daily DuoLingo I’ve been doing for a few years has really paid off. I’m not conversational, but I can communicate, and that’s super helpful!

Working With Other Magicians!

David Williamson

Last month when I was travelling to a ship to perform for a week, I noticed on their app I could see the schedule. It turned out there was another magician performing the same week that I was, and that magician was David Williamson!

It’s kinds stressful heading out to a gig where you’re working with one of your favorite magician and one that’s in almost every magician’s top ten magicians. The silver lining to that stress is that I get to hang out with him!


I’ve seen his show before on a cruise ship back in the mid 2010’s when I was on vacation with my family. He does a solid show with classic Williamson energy, I love his stage persona, it’s great!

If you get a chance to see his show, do it…and if you get a chance to work with him, do it!
