We just wrapped up our first show at the Library Theatre in Birmingham, AL. Â Matina and Elin made us feel so welcome, so special! Â The entire staff here are just nice people! Â They even put up a welcome sign for us outside the Green Room!
What a great crowd tonight! Â The audience came in ready to have a good time. Â We had some incredible volunteers on the stage to help us out, adding their own personal touches and sense of humor to the illusions they participated in. Â And the venue is so intimate. Â I could literally see every face in the audience! Â It’s really cool to be able to see their expressions, curiosity, and even when a few of them leaned over and whispered to the person sitting next to them.
Afterward, I met many from the audience in the reception area. Â As I’ve said before, this is one of my favorite parts of the evening. Â I always feel like I have a personal connection with the crowd after the show and it’s very cool to be able to shake their hands or share a smile.
I also had the chance to meet a few of the local magicians. Â It’s an honor when area magicians come out to see the show. Â And the guys tonight were warm and friendly, kind with their comments about the show, and seemed to have a good time. Â I appreciated them being there and taking the time to say hello.
It’s been a long day, I’m exhausted so it’s off to bed. Â Tomorrow, I get to do it all again. Â I love this job!
