Go Gladiator Media interviewed us on their live show today. We discussed corporate entertainment, marketing, and social media. A big thanks to Ryan and Harrison. It went by so fast. We loved it.
You can watch the interview on http://gogladiatormedia.net on the gogladiatortv page(today only) and the vlog page(starting tomorrow).

It is always nice to re-connect with old friends. We had a great time visiting Chico & Dela who now live in NY. It is nice to keep in touch via email, but it is so much better in person. Chico & Dela are two of the most kind, generous people we know. They are also very active in the American Legion.
This audience had us in stitches. There were a few times we could not stop laughing.
Christian is wonderful at drawing a crowd. The above picture is prior to a show. People love mind reading and illusions!
Below picture is just after a show. We had already done 2 encores and they still wanted more so we taught them something special to try with friends and family.

This is something that we did not expect. Although our show is totally clean, it requires thinking so we did not think that 7 and 8 years old would get it. But they surprised us. When we asked an 8 year old girl what she thought Mind Tripping was about, she said “You guys are the mind trickers”. The fact that she understood so simply is wonderful.
We were excited to be the Keynote Speakers for a Rainmakers Main Event. Our topic was creating a wow experience for your customers. We always strive to create exceptional entertainment for our clients and believe that we are “Ambassadors of Wow”. Here is a short video explaining our philosophy of wow.
We are very thankful that we were asked to perform at two very special events:
The first one was a show at One Step At a Time camp for children with cancer. Adam saw our show and after the show we enjoy talking with our guests. He mentioned that he was volunteering at the camp a mile from where we were. We told him we’d love to perform for the kids. He jumped on this and we set up a show for the next day because this was the last day of the camp. When an opportunity to do something great drops into your hands, you have to take advantage of it right away! We entertained 13-16 year olds and had a fabulous time. We performed the Mind Tripping show which was perfect because many children were a part of the show. They enjoyed watching their friends have fun on stage. Please take a look at their website http://onestepcamp.org for more information on how to support this great organization.
The second event was that we helped a couple become engaged. Frank saw information about our show and contacted us to help him do something special when he proposed to his girlfriend. We were out in the gazebo with flowers and champagne so the setting was beautiful. We performed unique “couple” effects that assisted Frank by providing a smooth segue to the proposal to his girlfriend Ashley. It as very special.
Participating in something so intimate as a wedding proposal and so worthwhile as a a great cause, One Step Camp, was wonderful and something we will not forget.
We have had a very busy summer! We have been working at the Abbey Resort in Lake Geneva Wisconsin for the past month. It has been a fabulous experience entertaining the guests and the community.
We had a show in Chicago and it went very well. Here are some photos we thought you might enjoy.
JT was stunned!
Kelly was very emotional.

After the show, many groups tried to do this on their own.
Spectacular energy; enjoyable, fun, supportive group.
After doing hundreds of shows, you start to get a feel for audiences. Anytime that a group of people get together, there is an energy specific to that group. Sometimes a group can be relaxed and fun, others can be uptight and challenging. Some audiences are nice to each other and support one other. They enjoy watching anyone on stage. The opposite is an audience that is negative and will sabotage each other to get up on stage.
As an entertainer, you have to understand your audience and be able to adapt accordingly. It is a subtle dance that a performer must do with the audience.
We had a great show last night and it is a thrill to perform when electricity is in the air.
We will go to all ends of the earth to gather interesting items for our show. Here we are in Paradox. We picked up some conundrums, mysteries, and mental illusions.
I was bartering for some interesting mental ambiguities. The shop owner was a clever fox and was not going to let these mind benders go cheap. I believe we picked up some very fascinating items that you will enjoy in our upcoming shows. Ohh, and Katalina picked up a jar of garlic pickles.
Katalina and I have performed at many trade shows where the focus of the job is to drive traffic to the booth, entertain them, and then hand them off to a motivated company representative. This experience came in very handy for this show.
We were scheduled to perform our 75 minute stage Mind Tripping Show, but the event coordinator had to change the entire style of the event, due to unforeseen circumstances. Because of the dynamic environment we had to switch gears and perform “trade show style”.
Drawing on our trade show experience, we were able to bring crowds to our booth and create a carnival atmosphere. The event coordinator was thankful that we were able to adapt so readily to the situation. She marveled at the amount of people that were constantly congregated around our booth.
The advantage of trade show style is that it allows for many people to participate in the entertainment. Even if they only have 10 minutes, they can enjoy some fun, freaky Mind Tripping and then continue on with the rest of their schedule.
It worked out very well. The crowd loved it, the director loved it, and we had a blast.
Earlier this week we performed at UMES, an Historically Black College and University or HBCU.
We have performed at many HBCU’s and always have a blast.
The crowd was loud and everyone wanted to get on stage, but at the same time, the students were very emotive, interactive, and fully engaged in the show.
These girls stayed after the show for some personal Mind Tripping.
