The glorious Coriander Stasi spent time with us in September documenting THE WONDER. Enjoy!
Experience THE WONDER for yourself. Thursday evenings at 7PM in San Francisco.
New poster for CONJURING WONDER hanging out front of Postrio Restaurant and the Prescott Hotel in San Francisco.
Even in today's world of social media and online presence, we managed to pulled 3 guests into the show the first night it hung and 4 guests a week later. I think I'll keep it.
I grew up watching reruns of The Rockford Files but never realized how much of an impression Garner made on me until I read his obit. That's the way it goes sometimes.
“Mr. Garner disdained the pretentiousness of the acting profession. “I’m a Methodist but not as an actor,” he wrote in “The Garner Files.” “I’m from the Spencer Tracy school: Be on time, know your words, hit your marks, and tell the truth. I don’t have any theories about acting, and I don’t think about how to do it, except that an actor shouldn’t take himself too seriously, and shouldn’t try to make acting something it isn’t. Acting is just common sense. It isn’t hard if you put yourself aside and just do what the writer wrote.”
Precisely the way I was taught to approach the profession and the craft of acting. And it certainly informs me a magician, as well.
After a year-and-a-half of monthly performances, I am so very excited to announce that CONJURING WONDER is now a WEEKLY EVENT!
The management of the Prescott Hotel has been getting terrific feedback from our audiences and they've asked us to present THE WONDER on a weekly basis beginning this Thursday evening, July 17th.
They've also partnered with us on a larger scale and offered up a new performance space in the legendary Postrio Restaurant!
The show will now take place on the Mezzanine -- which is quite cozy -- just past Postrio's fabulous bar. Making it that much easier for you to grab a cocktail before the show. And yes, you can bring that drink with you to enjoy during the performance!
Watch this space for photos and video. Better yet, get tickets to the show today experience THE WONDER live and in person.
And thanks to those who have attended for their continued support!
Brought THE WONDER to Ken Fulk’s Peep Show, in San Francisco, for his April Fool’s Bash.

Brought THE WONDER to the grand opening of a private club in San Francisco. Spent the evening in a secret room — accessed through a sliding bookcase — entertaining a very well-heeled crowd. I love my job.
Had a lovely time early this week at NRG Solar's Holiday Party.
I mingled with about 30 guests for an intimate reception in the private room at Piatti Restaurant, in Mill Valley. I love last minute bookings. We always have a blast!
Thanks to my lovely hostess, Savannah, and the folks at NRG Solar for a great evening!
Entertained at a holiday luncheon for Chevron’s IT group on December 12th.
The event took place at Crow Canyon Country Club in Danville. Began with a bit of walk-around magic while guests arrived then a 45 minute mentalism performance after lunch.
Right from the start I could tell this group was up for a good time and they didn’t disappoint. One of my best sets!
Was invited to perform at Intel’s holiday party in Sacramento on Saturday.
The event took place in the Grand Ballroom of the Doubletree Hotel and was attended by about 150 employees and their spouses. After their dinner, I performed a 45 minute mentalism program from the stage.
Will be cutting some video from the evening and posting soon. Stay tuned!
