Event planners, party organizers, and trade show booth arrangers who are seeking the BEST in magical, hypnotic or mentalist entertainment for their event!
With my personalized approach to EVERY event, the attendees KNOW WHO it was they were there to see WHAT the event was about and WHY they remember it so vividly in the future! And WHY they GRIN so widely WHEN THEY REMEMBER YOUR EVENT!
I also look forward to talking to anyone who wants a good hypnosis, magic or mentalism show for their next party or event, of course!
And, of course, POST PROM coordinators! Hypnosis shows that are SAFE, APPROPRIATE and ENTERTAINING for them are becoming fewer by the day! CALL ME and make sure that you get a show that you can be SURE OF!
Jazz, though not the atonalists, especially big band swing and what I call "3AM closing the bar piano." Mozart. Filk (a form of folk music that focuses on science fictional themes). Some bluegrass. Blues, especially slide guitar. Celtic, especially Enya, Pentangle, Barrage and the Battlefield Band. GOOD drumming of any kind.
Wu Xia cinema (kung fu movies - a guilty pleasure, I admit), chambara (Samurai films, same reason), Akira Kurosawa, film noir.
The Marx Brothers, Danny Kaye, the Hope/Crosby Road pictures, almost any swashbuckler from the late 30's and into the 40's
Fail Safe, On the Beach, the Gene Barry version of War of the Worlds (NOT the Tom Cruise version, thanks, anyway!)
Ray Harryhausen films, anything with Vincent Price, Peter Lorre, Boris Karloff, Christopher Lee or, of course, Bela Lugosi and old movie serials, like Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers and Radar Men From The Moon
- oh yes - and Godzilla movies. Gotta love the Big Green Guy!
Troma films

Mind of Mencia, HEROES! The NEW Battlestar Galactica, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, History Channel, American Justice, Forensic Files, Notorious, South Park... and Mystery Science Theater 3000!
The Dai Vernon Book of Magic, 13 Steps to Mentalism by Corinda, Red Planet, by Robert Heinlein (the first "grown up" book my Dad ever read to me as a kid and which really locked me in as a science fiction fan), the Lensman series by E.E. "Doc Smith, Ph.D., Practical Mental Effects by Theo. Annemann, Modern Coin Magic by J.B. Bobo, editor, Tranceformations by Bandler and Grinder, General Techniques of Hypnotism by Andre Weitzenhoffer (for its influence on me in my high school days) and so many, many more...
Richard Rescorla, who went BACK into the twin towers on 9/11 several times to make sure that all of the people in his company got out safely. He died in the attempt.
Chief Master Sgt. John Gebhardt (Google him - THAT's a Hero!)
Roger Young, winner of the Medal of Honor.
Wong fei-Hung, one of the Ten Young Tigers of Shangtung and associate of Dr. Sun Yat-Sen who helped overthrow the Last Emperor of China.
Danny Kaye, not only for his incredible humor, but for his work with UNICEF, later on, as well as for his work for human rights.
The character Lou Bookman, from the Twilight Zone episode "One For the Angels," whom I can relate to, very closely. If you haven't seen the episode, do so - it really comes close to my definition of what a hero does.
Gordon R. Dickson, author, who fought valiantly against such crippling allergies that he was a virtual prisoner in his home, yet he still wrote and enjoyed life.
My Dad, who fought harder than anyone I've ever known against leukemia and lasted longer than the doctors believed possible. And so many others - there really isn't enough space.....
