Incredibly great news. This is, as far as I am concerned, the latest and greatest news of the day. Tomorrow, we’ll have our full listing of all the news of the day but this one story has lifted my spirits so much that I want to set it apart.
According to a Rochester, New York, television station, Roy has literally taken a dramatic step in his progress of rehabilitation. The station reported just minutes ago that, Roy has started to walk again. The steps that he takes are likely few and tentative but they are steps in the right direction.
There was a time when there were questions whether Roy would survive the October 3rd attack at the Mirage and now, with Siegfried at his side he is taking his first steps.
May God continue to bless Roy and those who care for him.
Let me begin by admitting to you that I have a life outside of magic.I do have friends who aren?t magicians and I have a job that doesn?t require false-shuffling or sleights of any kind.
I tell you this because I attended my second Tom Craven lecture in as many days.Last night I raved about Mr. Craven?s strong lecture and praised his energy and innovation.I gave him five our five stars ? the Inside Magic?s Highest Rating.
I need to revise my review to be considered a credible critic.As good as I thought Mr. Craven?s lecture was yesterday, his lecture this evening was 27 to 31 percent better.
Mr. Craven lectured last night at Carlos Blades? Garden City Magic Shop on Stand-Up Magic.He was incredible in his ability to teach and excite the audience of magicians.I praised him accordingly.
