June 4th is Always Special
Over the past 30 years June 4th has been a day for other exciting events. I purchased my first new car on June 4th. My very first home was purchased on June 4th. Even today 30 years later, June 4th has proven to be a great day.
Tonight I was asked to perform my magic and ventriloquism act for a couples 40th wedding anniversary. As the gentleman was writing my check before the show, he told me to "give trouble" to the guy in the green shirt. As long as he was paying, I fully intended to do what I was told. So I put the check in my pocket, and guaranteed the gentleman I would follow his request.
I opened my show by asking the man in the green shirt for a dollar bill from his wallet. He provided the dollar bill, folded it like a hot dog bun, and ran it through his hair to get static electricity in the bill. I then levitated the bill right in front of him. His wife gasped, and a few people said some words I won't print. The audience then applauded, and I handed the gentleman back his dollar bill.
30 years ago as I was graduating high school, the St. Louis Cardinals were working hard to win the World Series. With the help of Cardinals Manager Whitey Herzog they were able to win the World Series 4-3 against the Milwaukee Brewers. Whitey Herzog managed the Cardinals from 1980 thru 1990. On July 25, 2010 he was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, and 7 days later, in his honor, the Cardinals retired his number "24". Thanks for the memory tonight Whitey, and thanks for not asking if I was a Cardinals fan? You wouldn't like the answer.
Keep Living The Dream
