Mami and Titus make their Debut...and a stand in for Cynthia

Tonight we performed a fundraiser for our local High school's girl's basketball team. Since we were traveling all summer I was out of the loop for most of the preparations for the show and the folks in charge dropped the ball with absolutely no advertising and no promotion of the event. Each girl was to sell 10 tickets...only a few did. It mattered little to us since we were doing this as charity for the most part (we did sell magic tricks and stuff). But it was discouraging the minimal effort everyone involved gave. Still the crowd that came (around 75 people) were a good crowd and really showed their appreciation for the show.
As a matter of practice and "getting used to performing" Mami, my wife, made her debut appearing in the opening routine and then juggling a little bit int he show. Titus, my son with no fine motor control and unable to talk or walk, made his debut by waving his hand over a box turning a dove into a rabbit then waving to the crowd...they adored him.
Also new, since Cynthia couldn't perform due to her tendon surgery recovery thingy, her friend, Sabrina performed her tricks. She did a very good job.
The people at the high school (coaches, teachers) were very nice. I just wish they could've spent some time promoting this thing. last year it was BIG!
By the way, the show was great.
