After spending the last 7 weeks out of the country, it’s good to finally be back home for an extended stay.  I get to work out of my office for a month so this is very exciting.

We are gearing up to begin the fall tour season.  I am very thankful for the schedule that we have next season.  We are touring East Coast to West Coast and almost everything in between.  It’s going to be an exciting year.

We are in discussions now with our consultants about new illusions to add to the production for the 2011/2012 season. We’ve got a couple of new pieces in the show this year and looking to really change things up before our Asia tour in December 2011. Lots of decisions to make on the direction of the show, the new “look and feel,” as well as challenging ourselves (taking it up a notch).

I’m also in the final stages of completing the Hocus Focus curriculum.  After a great week in Latvia, I’m more excited than ever to get this project done and move it into the research stage.  I’ve got several universities interested in taking on the project to collect data and move to the point of publication.  It seems there’s always something more to do but, in the end, I know it’s going to be worth it.

I just wanted to check in.  I’ve had several people email to see what’s up and why I haven’t blogged anything.  Life is good and things are moving forward.
