Travelling with your Magic Show

When I travel with my magic show, I put colorful zip ties on my show case. The reason is that when I pick up my cases at baggage claim, if my zip ties aren’t on the case, then I know I need to check them.

Recently I flew and when I got my bags my zip ties had been replaced and inside my case was the TSA letter.

This tells me that when I get to the hotel I need to do inventory on my show to make sure that everything made it back into the case.

In the past I’ve had my checked baggage screened by TSA and the forgot to put my two table tops back into my case! It was an ordeal tracking them down and getting them back.

Knowing something is missing before I start setting up the show is a huge help!

The Places We’ll Go…

I’m home now from a taping of a TV show in Burbank and sometimes there are moments when I reflect on where my dopy little show has taken me. The picture below was taken as I was about to leave my dressing room at the studio at the end of the day.

After having not really done the show in a year, to having done a few cool shows right out of the gate as things open up. It’s amazing where my stupid little ideas packed into that Pelican 1615 case have taken me. I think it’s important to look at what you’ve done with your art and why you do it. I do it to show people my ideas, and to see cool places. As a kid who never went anywhere, my show has taken me all across North America!
