Updates: Monkey Butts and Chinese Food.

First our Sponsor Anti-Monkey Butt Powder has a great commercial about their Baby Anti-Monkey Butt products:

 I have been seeing it all day and friends and fans have been emailing me that they have seen it too.  I tell yo folks AMBP works!

Today was a fun day Chinese Food with two magical friends and then walking around my hometown canvasing for our World Circus Day event.  That means we have been placing flyers and posters in store windows.   Thanks to Hobbie Auto Center , Taco Bell of Oroville, and Anti-Monkey Butt Powder.   It's a free event.

Nothing better than getting together with Bill and JC. We probably drove the other customers in the Tong Fong Lows crazy as we joked and shared stories.  One topic was about a NY Birthday Magician who opened his life to a film crew as well as shared his own videos with them that revealed a disturbing family life that led to his father and brother going to jail for pedophilia.  Bill and I had seen the documentary and shared it with JC. I tell you, wow, what a disturbing story.  But that was the heavy! The rest of the conversation was light and we often found ourselves laughing ourselves to tears. A man who thought the door directly behind us (an emergency exit) was the entry door (it was glass). Well, we couldn't open it so JC pulled out some tricks and performed for the man through the glass. It was hilarious. We finally pointed to the main entrance "saving" the poor guy from being left outside and enduring more magic through the window.
While canvasing we met Mike.  he owns the local comic book, hobby store. He was seated on a 1970s style cushioned kitchen chair in the entry way of his store. I gave him the flyer and reading it was about "circus" he volunteered stories about his time in the circus back in the 70s and 80s.  You could see in his eyes that he missed the saw dust.  He did admit he didn't miss the long drives, however.
All in all we hit a pretty good number of stores and met a lot of people. Some we did tricks for some we just exchanged the pleasantries of asking, "Would you put this in your window"...."OK".  
All in all it was a pleasant afternoon.

Later in the day the kids had gymnastics practice with an emphasis on acrobatics. Victor is expanding his Cossack dance to include some tumbles and flips.
