		<title>Parlor Magic for Peers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Had a really fun show a few nights ago, hosted in a Rockville living room. Â Why was it blog-worthy?
It was exactly the sort of show I love doing, entertaining a fun group in their late 20&#8217;s / early 30&#8217;s with some sophisticated magic. Â They found me via TimelessDeception.com, which is exactly the kind of event [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tellering Tales</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Read an interesting article in the New York Post where they interviewed Teller, of the &#8220;Penn &#38;&#8221; fame, and I really liked what he said about having artistic visions:
When it comes to a bit weâ€™re working on, we spend a lot of time going, â€œNo, thatâ€™s a dumb idea.â€ The very popular idea that the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Praise for &#8220;Carnival of Wonders&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I had the pleasure of visiting Atlantic City this week with some friends, expressly for the purpose of seeing Kalin, Jinger, and Hobson&#8217;s show &#8220;Carnival of Wonders,&#8221; which ran this summer at Trump Plaza.
It was certainly one of the best magic shows I&#8217;ve ever seen.
The dynamic between the husband-and-wife team of Kalin &#38; Jinger is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Brothers Perform Magic of the Mind</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Matt Wood closes his eyes and is able to correctly guess a girl's phone number from across the room.  While this may sound like a scene in a bar, it's actually a trick in a magic show.]]></description>

		<title>Babies R Us Grand Opening</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is the first time we&#8217;ve ever had costumed characters watch our show. Â Kinda cool &#8230; and a little weird. Â Nothing like seeing Geoffrey (the Toys R Us mascot) or Arthur (from the PBS series) sitting there in the back, taking in a magic show.
We were thrilled to be a part of the Babies R [...]]]></description>

A great mix of families, one-of-a-kind location, and excellent weather all made for a top notch experience.
We performed some of our staples, such as Magic Milk, the Harry Potter Book [...]]]></description>

		<title>Spy-themed Magic for the YPO in Washington, DC</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Really enjoyed yesterday afternoon, interacting with the members and families of the Young Presidents&#8217; Organization Rocky Mountain Chapter as they visited Washington, DC. Â The spy-themed event was very cool &#8230; complete with FBI representatives fingerprinting the kids! Â Performed a lot of my favorite tried-and-true routines, as well as a few new ones that I was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Strolling Magic @ Trinity Lutheran Church</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Had a great time this afternoon at the Trinity Lutheran Church in Rockville, doing some strolling magic for their picnic.  Lots of fun audience members, excellent weather &#8230; couldn&#8217;t have asked for more.

		<title>Britney Beats Barack</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It amuses me that we live in a country where more people are following Britney Spears&#8217; Twitter feed than President Obama&#8217;s (source: http://wefollow.com/top)
If there&#8217;s anyone who we&#8217;d want to have an up-to-date status of, you think it&#8217;d be the president. Oh well &#8230;
