Reading Magician Wows students

Thank you for the Award

I had the pleasure to entertain my peers at a comedy entertainer's convention banquet in Mystic, CT this past February. I was delightfully surprised happened after the show. Cathy Gibbons, my editor at Laugh Makers Magazine popped in and presented me with the 1st Annual Bob Gibbons Award for Excellence in Family Entertainment! Wow, what a great surprise and joy. I love being a magician and it was fun to entertain the other entertainers at this convention. I also taught classes on comedy writing and theatrical skills as well as a class on the magic inventions that I have created. I enjoy making people laugh and have brought my magic to events across the nation for almost 29 years. Magic adds life to special events. I have performed for family and corporate group throughout the Twin Cities and Minnesota. Please give a call when you are looking for party magic for birthday parties, banquets and family events.
