Performing Illusions -
Engaging your sense of wonder and amazement,
Provoking side splitting laughter,
making a sharp left into thought provoking rants
and taking your mind away from
what grinds you on a daily basis

Join me as we journey for a short time
to a place where the boundaries of our
usual existence may bend just a little
..... or not apply at all

ah ha ha ha

My Interests


Something I've been working on
Magic is not a trick or puzzle to be figured out
However it can us feel and think


About myself

Clothes, Money and Fun - I've never know anyone who had enough Clothes, Money or Fun

Ren Fairs

New Orleans before Katrina - a tragedy of immense proportions

My amazing and enchanting son

and last but far from least my beloved Chrissy

Influences -
Ever changing but currently ....
Penn & Teller
Cirque Du Soleil
Denis Leary
Eisenheim
Jean Robert-Houdin
Beyond that maybe Thomas Jefferson,
amazing writer
"All men are created equal"
after the creation the equal part pretty much stops

and an immense gratitude to Peter G
one of the finest minds
and person that I've been privileged to encounter

Also much thanks Denny H
For all his help and direction

I'd like to meet:

The Vick the Fallen Angel character
Has been laid to rest
It's been fun and while it didn't succeed
the way I had hoped
in others it went further then I ever expected
Look for the great new things
From Illusions by Vick

Music:

One time around
Is all you get
But I'm still dancin'
So you know it's still wet

Movies:

When it comes to movies there's Casablanca and then there is everything else

Silence of the Lambs
Dogma
Wizard of Oz
Beauty and the Beast
Pulp Fiction
Natural Born Killers
The Illusionist

the list could go on and on

I prefer to read, that way I make up the characters and interpret the story ..yt

Television:

Rescue Me - still the best written, funniest, balliest thing on TV

"I might need a Sandwich Ms. Turbitty"

Other than that Pro Football, Penn & Teller or nothing
(ok maybe Fairly Odd Parents)

Books:

Authors -
Dan Brown, Thomas Harris, Anne Rice, Stephen King, Ayn Rand, J.K. Rowling and others

Any work of fiction has to have the ability to suspend disbelief and create characters that make you feel and think, hero, anti-hero, protagonist or .... ;-)

Heroes:
