A GREAT Birthday Gift!

A GREAT Birthday Gift
Current mood: thankful

Less than a month ago, I had an emergency appendicitis. When the doctors removed it, they found a tumor on it - a charismatic growth, I was told, later. It was under two centimeters in diameter, but, I was told, it still could have spread to the liver and other areas and further testing was necessary to rule out the possibility of something "life threatening."

So, when I thought I was going in for what I had been told was initially was nothing more than a possible hernia, I was then staring down the barrel of the proverbial gun. This is a very sobering thing to have happen at my age - hell, it's a sobering thing to have happen at ANY age!

Yesterday, the second, was my birthday. This morning, I got the news from my Doctor - the tests have all come back negative. So, unless something in another major system comes up bad, I have missed the bullet!

Needless to say, I am giving sincere THANKS today!

Part Two: This weekend, I started my tenth year doing magic for the Chicago Bulls organization at the United Center in Chicago. Crowds mobbed the place for the game with the Boston Celtics, I got mobbed by the crowds, who I enjoyed watching as they enjoyed watching my magic, if you can figure out THAT sentence!

Go BULLS!

Part Three: I am now compiling many of the posts and articles that I have made on the TheMagicCafe.com and several other of the magic and mentalist boards I post to (sorry, no trade secrets, just good advice to budding performers) and will be putting them together in an ebook, sometime soon, to go alongside my ebooks on Safety for Stage Hypnotists (the ONLY book of it's kind, anywhere) and Back Stage Considerations for Stage Hypnotists. Email me for information on ordering these two CD's (they are in Adobe .PDF files, so you will need either Acrobat Reader, which is free from Adobe, or something like Apple's Preview to read them).

Keep an eye out for me - I am touring all this Spring and Summer - contact me at www.leedarrow.com via the email button there, to either find my show near you, or to book an open date - but HURRY! Dates are filling up FAST!
