Fellow compeers:

Last night Dan Bowen and I ventured to Fox Woods Casino to see the Amazing Johnathan and Psychic Tanya.  It was a very "R" rated laugh riot.
The theatre was great--holds about 2000 according to Dan so all of the seats are great.
The guy that opened for AJ was full of hot air!  John Cassidy’s balloon act was awesome.  See this month’s M.U.M.  He will be in Boston at our convention.  I can’t wait to see him again.  He is in the Guinness Book of World Records for making the most balloon animals in one hour.  He blows up a balloon so fast it seems to just appear from "thin air"!
AJ, Psychic Tanya and John Cassidy were outside the theatre after the show for a meet-and-greet.  John Cassidy came out and was still blowing up balloons, twisting them and giving them away.  He moves at warp speed.  It is a wonder that he does not pass out.
I got home at 2:00am and the Casino was $40.00 richer.  Dan did not gamble (well, driving with me on a rainy night is a gamble), but he did find a $10.00 bill on the floor.
Ask me or him about the false start from his house the next time you see us.
See you in May for Dan Garrett’s lecture.
Magically yours,
Dan
