LOL Promo Video

Here is the new LOL promo video taken from "Cirque Imaginings." This is basically a shorter edit of performance footage, some of which is found in the previously posted video.

L.O.L. Tour

I am currently working on a new show with Don Bursell and Randy Christensen. It is going to be one crazy show where we take comedy to it's breaking point. Here is a video of the last time we did a show together. Cirque Imaginings: the Kitchen Scene. It is a collage of behind the scenes footage and live performance all edited into the complete routine.

Home for the Holidays!

My father and I recently completed our third and final Christmas show. It featured Oxford P. Nutts (Randy Christensen) and myself. We had a great time in Sherburn, Willmar, and Saint Paul. Now we sit back and relax with family while we dream up new programs and tours for future dates. Thank you to all of those who attended and made it possible to provide this show. Also, thank you to my family, for allowing us to go out and spend time on the road before Christmas.

Christmas Party

I recently attend a Christmas party for the Fellowship of Christian Magicians. It was held to the Floms house in Eden Prairie. We had a great time eating, hanging out, and we even put on our own variety show. It was a tough night because chances were that any performer would have to follow either animals or children. I took a couple of pictures during the show. The first picture is of Don Bursell who was also on the evening show.

October 31st at Redeeming Love

Last night I was able to do and evangelistic show at Redeeming Love for their Halloween Alternative. I had a great time doing my best stuff for a pretty good sized crowd.
My sister came with me as well as Jon Lee, a friend from school named Jon Lee. It is always wonderful to have a few familiar faces around. Now my attention turns as we enter the coming holiday season. I started listening to Christmas music already :-P
I am excited for what the season will bring.
Now for a quick update on the program I will be doing with Oxford P. Nutts! It looks like we will be performing "Home for the Holidays" at least four or five times. I am really looking forward to this time when I get to be onstage with my dad again instead of doing the entire program myself. There will be less on my mind and shoulders!

Getting Ready

This month has gone primarily to school work. However, I am finding time for a lot of performance stuff as well. Tonight the first Contact Improv group at NCU is meeting. Also, I recently led a Fellowship of Christian Entertainers evening meeting where we discussed close-up magic. I have also been passing clubs a lot and finding time to work on some new stuff.

That's the update! Now onto the future. There is a current show in the works featuring Randy Christensen, Don Bursell, and myself. Also currently being marketed is a Christmas show featuring myself and Randy Christensen. I'll put up a pic to tantalize you.

PUSH on tour

After we finished three weeks of rehearsal we took the show on the road and had an awesome tour. We were at a few churches from Rochester, NY to Cleveland, OH. It was a great group and a lot of fun. I learned a lot.
