I do not remember you from POTN, did you use the same username there?
Welcome here to FoP!
I enjoy watching Penn & Teller Fool Us.

Yes, I used the same username but, over the last few years, I mostly searched the Buy/Sell forum. Here's my user profile: https://photography-on-the.net/forum/member.php?m=24032
Penn & Teller Fool Us is great for magicians! I have at least 8 friends that have appeared on the show and a couple of them have won more than once.

Oh my, you joined POTN in 2005 so yes you were a long time member!
Baan asked the same question I want to ask when will YOU be on the Penn & Teller show?

To be honest, it wasn't something I sought out. I'm not really of the demographic they typically prefer for the show. They look for younger magicians unless the magician has a really incredible piece of magic that will likely fool them. It's kind of funny but, until you and Baan asked, I hadn't thought about it.

Welcome magicmickey. Glad you joined. Now for my shameless plug. If you know of others at POTN that do not know we exist, please feel free to invite them.
As to Penna and Teller, I love their show. Some fantastic magicians on that show. Very entertaining.

Welcome, Mike! I love watching magic acts. Do you have any YouTube videos of you in action?
By the way, the best magic you could do for us is to conjure up a spell to move the rest of POTNers over to Focus before POTN vanishes!

Okay, I got busy with the holiday season so I didn't get around to posting links to some of my performance videos. Here's a video of me performing for a local television show:Welcome, Mike! I love watching magic acts. Do you have any YouTube videos of you in action?

This is a video from a series I put together for libraries during the summer of 2020. Libraries do shows for children in the summer to encourage them to come to the library but, in 2020, all the in-person shows were cancelled because of the pandemic. The libraries I work with put my "Magic Minutes" videos on their Facebook page to keep connected with their patrons. The presentation is aimed at youngsters but I do this same routine for adults with a more mature presentation:
This is a promotional video for my larger illusion show that I used to do (I no longer do the big show – it's too much work to set up at my age!) The video is from 2005:
