Planning a Christmas Party in Kelowna, West Kelowna (Westbank), Peachland, Summerland, Penticton, or Vernon? Check out my various Christmas Party entertainment packages!

Thank you Darren for the awesome picture! We were both working at the CIBC Grand Opening last weekend where he took a few pictures of me. He sent me this great picture over Facebook. See more of his work at www.HullPhotographic.com

I had a great time performing at Westside Daze 2009. The weather was perfect for all the guests, but honestly it was too hot for my stage show! It was quite uncomfortable, but I made it through the show just fine. Those 30 minutes on stage usually go by so fast, but in really hot heat it felt like an hour! Its shows like that where I’m glad I have solid material that I know inside out. The audience was great with a nice mixture of adults and kids.

Next year I’m going to set myself up so that behind me is the lake instead of the gazebo. Those photo’s will be killer. Plus it will give the audience a nice view too

Before the show I was concerned that it was going to be way too hot. I ended up bringing a big fan that I setup on the stage behind me, but the weather actually turned out to be perfect! I didn’t even need the fan. The stage/tent was pretty far away from the audience, so I left the “stage” and got right up close with the audience. It was a little hotter right out in the sunlight, but as you can tell by the pictures below, the audience had a blast and so did I.

“Thank you again for the great performance. You truly amazed all the guests at our daughter’s wedding. Everyone was talking about the magic show all evening and into the next day. The guests particularly liked the mingling and one on one magic.””

This kid was sooo adorable! What a great moment on stage.

Performing outside is fun because I don’t have to worry about spilling!

I’m kind of a control freak, which is probably my best quality but not all of the time! This month I have a huge list of goals that I want to complete, but it sure can be challenging when you’ve got so many shows to do.

I love it though. I love performing. Over the past couple weeks I’ve been invited to perform for a fundraiser gala evening, a grand opening, a school fun fair, a BBQ event, an afterschool care center, and a birthday party. I love being able to perform in different venues for different types of people, it keeps things interesting. I’m really looking forward to the rest of the shows I have booked this month as well. More birthday’s, more school events, a large children’s show, and a huge family event and a few others—Woohoo!

Between all those shows I’m excited about all the projects I’m working on too. For those of you who receive my Magical Moments eNewsletter you’ll know that I just launched a brand new website for brides who are looking for Kelowna Wedding entertainment. I love the tagline of “Write the story of your wedding with magic.” While building the site I had my older sister and her friends critique my site and all the girls were disappointed that they already had their weddings because they thought that having a magician was such a great idea! Many people immediately just think of only a DJ for their wedding, but there are so many benefits of adding a magician to your wedding to entertain your guests. By far my favourite show option, and my most popular option, is Mingling Magic. I have a few wedding shows coming up this summer and I know I’ll have a blast. Everybody at weddings is always in such a great mood.

Also I’ve just ordered some new banner stands for my show. I got some printed up last year, but they need to be updated. I’ll post some pictures of them once I receive them.

I hope you’re all enjoying the nice weather we’re FINALLY getting here in the Okanagan. Until next time, take care.
