"Norm's Notes" Book Almost Complete

Working late tonight trying to finish my lecture notes. So far I have 13 pages of original magic tricks, bits and comedy routines for magicians to use in their acts. I teach classes at magic conventions and these notes can be sold after the presentation.

I am honored that many groups have invited me to present my lecture on Cool Magic for Cool Kids. The lecture Notes Book will share many of my ideas that were published in Magician's magazines over the years. as well as tricks that are not on my video by the same title. This way the attendees can have another set of material to glean ideas from.

Family Fun NIght with the Rockin' Hollywoods

Tonight I enjoyed performing again at the Forest Lake Park for their Family Fun night. Featured on the big stage were the awesome, Rockin' Hollywoods. This fun band expertly plays the classic Rock and Roll of the fifties and Sixties.

I strolled the area for several hours and enjoyed seeing the smiles and looks of amazement as the kids and parents got into the magic tricks.

The MasquersTheater of Forest Lake hosted my appearance at this event. This fine theater is presenting the Wizard of Oz starting the week after the 4th of July. Don't miss it.

Lots to be Thankfull For

Warren Buffett started investing at age 11 and said that he now regrets that he started too late. Things were cheap at that time. Maybe this is a good time to invest and try to start a business or look for new opportunities.

Buffet believes that children need to be encouraged to start businesses and try new ideas. I have a lot to be thankful for as I have been run my own business for over 28 years.

These are the good old days. We need to enjoy our children and the blessings we have. We need to train them to be strong, diligent and work hard for a better future.

As the Scouts say, "Do your best." That is one of the most important things we can pass on to our children.

I do many scouting events each year. Recently for a Girl Scout group in Oakdale. In my program I encourage the kids to excel and do their best.

In my Magic of Reading show for schools I enjoy motivating readers to get excited abut their studies and to do their best in school.

In my Library show I do magic that motivates kids to get excited about reading. The next performance is Wednesday morning at 10:30AM at the St. Louis Park Library. Come have some fun with the Reading Magic Show that I created over 28 years ago.

This show is sponsored in part by the Hennepin County Library System. I have been invited back again and again every year to present my motivational magic show for the many libraries. Now it is over 25 years of getting kids excited about reading. Learn more at MagicNorm.com

The picture is of the cover of my most recent book. Check your library for the four hardcover books or this paperback.
