I remember being interested in magic in grade school. There were magicians that came to our school and performed all the classics. They did a free show for the school and a paid show at night hoping the kids could get their parents to bring them back that evening. I was never disappointed. My dad would always take me and my mind would swirl with everything I had witnessed that day. I eventually became a magician and ran the stage for Mark Jenkins,a local magician setting up the illusions while he performed in front of the curtain. I was given about a 10 minute segment finishing with a linking ring routine. I don’t perform much anymore but the love has not diminished and this book is a result of that love. It is also something my children can have when I am gone that will remind them of me. This is something Dad loved.
