Magic Tricks

Its always nice when we have an opportunity to see a person who is an inspiration to our lives. Over the years I've had a number of opportunities to meet various people who have inspired me. But, last night I had the privilege of attending a private event with Michael Ammar. Normally we attend a convention to see, hear, and meet the special star who we want to see. In these settings there are usually hundreds of people in attendance. If we're lucky we might be able to ask a question and have it answered. But, the live event I was at last night was a small group of magicians who were there to see Mr. Ammar, and what a treat it was. Michael came out and performed some amazing routines and then took his time explaining how to perform the routines. The nice thing is "all" questions were answered. Not only that, but during the breaks people were able to talk with Michael in a personal level. Micheal even took time to personalize the autographs each person requested, AND, have a picture of yourself and Micheal. Talk about a highlight in my life. Rarely are we ever able to meet a superstar, but to be able to chat with them was fantastic. To be able to get the full detail of how a routine was performed, and not be rushed. It was a magical event, to say the least.

The nice thing is Penguin Magic provides these workshops throughout the year, and usually at a location that is easy to attend. Thank you Penguin Magic for producing this event, and thank you, Michael Ammar, for providing a wonderful evening full of magic, conversations, and a genuine enjoyment being with the magicians who attended.
