Me in front of the World Famous Magic Castle - July 2011


If you are a magician, you know about the world famous Magic Castle in Hollywood, California.  For almost 50 years, it's been a Mecca for magicians all over the world.  Basically, it's a private club for magicians run by the Academy of Magical Arts (whose current president is actor Neil Patrick Harris) and their invited guests, but in actuality it's much much more! It's a magical place that (as you enter the front foyer requires you to say the secret magic words to a "blinking" owl statue.  If you don't know the words, you don't ge

GREEN TAKES OVER...
Airport

McCarron Airport in Vegas recycles! Woohoo!!!


Here's another great example that our planet is inching towards a sustainable future.  McCarron International Airport in Las Vegas, Nevada (not exactly known for its sustainability) has now started recycling.  Way to go Vegas!  There is evidence everywhere that green is truly taking over, just look around yourself.

GREEN MAGIC MOMENTS
One of the ideas I've built my professional magic career around is a simple one.  It's the idea that all natural resources are valuable and that garbage is simply a natural resource that you've DECIDED is not valuable anymore.  I found these bottle caps in NYC in 1984.  I've used the same caps for magic since then.  Go get the kids and check this video out. It's short (only 60 seconds) but it's amazing and they'll love it.  Click here to see the video!
