Friday was show day! Â After an early morning television interview on Fox 12, a tasty breakfast with Jan and Matt, I was on my way back to the hotel to gather the crew. Â I had a few things to wrap up in my “portable office” before we were going to drive over to the Morrison Center. Â Because we were able to begin set up the day before, this day would be much less stressful!
We arrived at the Morrison Center shortly after lunch to finish up the day. Â It was nice to move along at a more leisurely pace – but we still had lots of things to do before the 7:30pm show. Â We owe a huge THANK YOU to the entire technical crew in Boise. Â They made our time here so much fun because they were so prepared, paid great attention to details, and were genuinely nice and enjoyable people to work with!
Another great treat for the day was dinner. Â Matt and his wife, Monae, spent the night before mixing up homemade cookie dough and preparing for a cook out. Â In the middle of the afternoon, they pulled out a BBQ grill onto the dock and cooked up some chicken and asparagus. Â They prepared a fantastic salad and then the desert – cookies and brownies! Â I ate way too much food before this show but it was amazing!
And the venue brought out the good china as well! Â Table cloths, real silverware, china plates – wow, we could get very spoiled like this!
We had a wonderful audience for the show that night. Â People were more than ready to volunteer to help out on stage and the responses and reactions to the illusions were great. Â The local Boise Magic Club also came to the show (thanks for the support guys) and I had the chance to visit with them and other members of the audience after the show in the lobby.
We had a great time in Boise – three wonderful days of media, workshops, and magic. Â I’ll be looking forward to coming back to the Morrison Center again in the future!
