Come enjoy several acts by talented magicians.
Mysteries and marvels abound!
Hope to see you there!

To all my friends and relations--to the children who celebrated my magic show today, to the bobcat I saw on my way to the show, to my students, and especially to my family who lend meaning to everything I do: remember the joy. Cleave to it.

Hold fast to your joy.

Do you want to love the world or rule the world?
How brave you are & the compassion in your heart will determine your answer.
To love people, animals & the planet you have to be brave enough to allow others to be free. You have to be wise enough to educate them with love & facts.
Leaders love.
