Magic Family

My maternal grandfather was a magician during the vaudeville era.

My mother was a magician who performed shows for charities.

My uncle was a missionary who performed magic as part of his lessons until he realized his audience thought he was using demons to help him.

My middle brother performed his magic shows on a cruise ship.

I participated in my first magic show about age seven when Mom did a show at the Masonic Lodge and I did one trick as part of her show.

I did my second show at age 11 when my 6th grade class used Captain Kangaroo as the theme for a variety show.

I did my third show as a high school freshman when my school performed a variety show with a Down on the Farm theme. Somehow the guys could not produce the egg they saw me place in a cloth bag. It took a female to do that.

That was my last show.

I still own the gear for a couple of tricks. I should take them to the local magic store one of these days to pass on to a new magician.

TTYL,
