April has been a busy month for me. I performed at The Magic Castle with my pal Scott Pepper. I cruised the Caribbean on Disney Cruise Line. And most importantly, after hours of searching, I finally found the left AirPod headphone I lost while sleeping last month. 

I get nervous before almost every show. Not, “Oh I hope I do alright” nervous. More like, “I think I am going to hurl” nervous. I don’t know why. You would think after doing magic professionally since 2004 confidence would show up at some point. But alas it has not.

Watch as four award-winning magicians battle it out onstage for your love, your votes, and your cash. Each performer presents their own unique style of illusion. At the end of the show, audience members vote for their favorite magician and favorite show title! The winning magician takes home all the glory and a big cash prize!

I’m a week late, but that’s what happens when you are currently living in a country that doesn't have a national rodent themed holiday. That said, Groundhog Day is a treasured day in my family. The first official Groundhog Day celebration took place on February 2, 1887, in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania.

You can’t explain timing. Timing in the sense of being at the right place, at the right time, and being ready. Since 2007 I wanted to be a Blue Man. It was my calling. I was obsessed with the show and had convinced myself that I was right for it; I was a drummer. I studied mime. And I loved non verbal comedy. “Why wouldn't they want me?” I’d often think to myself.

I am learning that with every new level of opportunity, or for lack of a better word, “success”, comes a brand new level of stress. Former Saturday Night Live writer John Mulaney said that on his first day at SNL, another writer asked, “Do you feel like a fraud?”
