This New Year's Eve has been on my mind for several months. 12/31/11 was the due date of our little girl Lana. The only bad thing about that was I had a contract to perform an illusion show for a country club that night; New Year's Eve is always a great payday for entertainers. Lana came early on Dec 28th and I was able to bring Natalie & Lana to the show. We did not do the illusions I had planned, but instead I did a 100 foot rope tie escape and a new mind reading routine which uses 5 adult volunteers from the audience. Both of those tricks "pack small and play big" which was nice since Natalie could not help like we both thought she would be able to. Natalie did assist me during the show but did so for the most part from a comfy chair behind me. Lana was out in the audience being watched by friends of ours we met in birthing classes. The show went great and at the end of the show I got to bring Natalie & Lana out onstage and introduce her and as a family wish everyone a very happy new year. Afterwards we went to our friends home and brought in the New Year while drinking sparkling cider and watching the ball drop on TV.
