The Magic Show Spectacular held during our weekly Rotary Meeting last week by our very own Rotarian and Magician Extraordinaire, Eric Schaffer was nothing short of Spectacular! Eric is no newbie to the world of magic! His father took him to his 1st magic shop when he was around 8 years old. During his teenager years, he performed children's magic shows. When he had is A/C Co, he did shows at company parties. After a little break from performing, he came back, refreshed his skills, and placed an amazing 2nd magic show for all his fellow Rotarians during our weekly luncheon meeting at Mazzeo's.

 

With his handy "Box of Tricks", Eric bedazzled all of his fellow Rotarians with magic tricks, including card tricks, disappearing/reappearing acts, pulling all sorts of items out of various objects, the dice & dagger trick, and no one can forget how Eric magically made a check appear for the Food Drive - right on time! In the Spirit of Halloween, Eric had our wonderful student guests assist him in magically creating sweets for everyone to share!

 

 

"Today was a long one — First day of classes for the students & first day of work for student assistants. I had 7 assistants each working 2 hour shifts from 8am until 10pm, so I’ve had a day of constant training. The students are great, and we worked hard today, so the rest of the work will be a lot easier. I really appreciate you following up with Tawny about the Dictionary Program. We’re currently in the ocean on our way to Malaga, Spain. Our original plan was to go to Morocco, but the earthquake literally has us changing course. We are just so lucky that we weren’t there for all of the destruction. Many of our plans were in places that were devastated. We are counting our blessings.

Phew. Okay it’s after 11pm & time for bed.

Send my best to the club for me.

Thank you, again,
