However, there were a few things that needed to be tweaked to make it perfect.

As far as I can tell, it’s all good to go now, so check it out!

To celebrate the new site, I’m offering a special bonus this month for anybody that hires me for an adult private party or corporate event.  It’s a killer gift from Shari’s Berries, worth $119.  You can learn all about the gift by scrolling to the bottom of the homepage.

I performed in the amphitheater there and a nice article was written about me.  To read it, go to:

If you would like to be put on my guest list, it’s on a first come, first served basis.  I’m only allowed a certain number of comped guests each night I’m performing.

However, the cover charge is only $25.00 and since I’m working and you’ll be on my list, you don’t have to have dinner.  Of course, you can have dinner if you’d like to.  Simply email me and I’ll give you my member number so you can make reservations.

I look forward to seeing you there!

Check out the picture I took with them:

Brooke Hogan, Zach Waldman, Linda Hogan, Charlie

I heard Brooke on The Howard Stern Show and took a liking to her.

When I met her, she was really down to earth, nice, and absolutely gorgeous.

For the record, when she came in, Brooke wasn’t wearing the jacket.  After just a few minutes, she was all bundled up.  She claimed to be cold, but I think she’s just shy.

Some lecherous dude in the lounge asked her to take off the jacket, and that’s when I heard her say she was cold.  That’s such a weird thing to ask a stranger, “Hey, take off your jacket, let’s see what’s doing under there.”

Anyway, I’m sorry you don’t get to see what she was wearing underneath, but Google her and be jealous of what I did see when she first walked in.

Brooke’s mom, Linda, was a lot of fun.  She gave me tons of hugs and kisses between screaming at the top of her lungs in amazement at my magic show.  There’s nothing better than having a cougar all over you and drawing lots of attention to it.  Linda may be the ultimate wing-woman.

I also chatted with Linda’s boyfriend, Charlie, for a bit.  He seemed like a nice guy but he was standing there holding Linda’s purse, so I kind of felt bad for him.  I just diverted my eyes like I didn’t see the vagina he was holding.

The truth is, I did him a favor by cropping the purse out of the picture.  You owe me one dude!

They really were a nice group of people.  Also, they’re fellow Floridians, so we had that bond.  I invited them to The Magic Castle; I’ll let ya know if I end up taking them.

As you may or may not know, I’ve been the house magician at Crustacean Restaurant in Beverly Hills, CA for seven years!

Now, you can have a private dining experience combined with wine pairings and a private comedy magic show performed by yours truly.

Go to restaurants Beverly Hills for details.

Normally, it costs $500.00 to reserve the private dining room at Crustacean.  However, with this package deal, you get the private dining room for free.

This unique night is for groups of 15 – 20 guests but 16 is the ideal number of people.  With such a small group, you’ll have an intimate dinner along with a sleight of hand close-up magic show.

You can make reservations right now by calling me at 310-922-6244.

If you visit restaurants Beverly Hills, you can view the price fixed menu and all of the details.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

However, just because you’re stuck in an office all day doesn’t mean Christmas fun can’t extend to your workplace. Depending on the environment where you work, it’s certainly possible to mix holiday fun with work.  If your boss doesn’t like it, scream Scrooge in his face and blame it on the eggnog the next day.

One obvious choice for some fun at the office during the holidays is to have a party. You could have several, in fact. How about a cookie exchange party? Plan to do this at lunchtime one day, and during that block of time, everyone brings several dozen cookies they made. You have to set a particular number of cookies for everyone to bring.  Here’s how it works:  Everyone has an empty plate, they go around the table picking up cookies that look good to them and place them on their plate. If everyone brought 3 dozen cookies, say, then everyone gets to take home 3 dozen cookies. This is not a particularly unique idea, but one that brings a bit of fun into the workplace.

Keeping in mind whether or not the public visits your workplace, you might choose to decorate. Why not have a Christmas tree decorating event? Everyone brings 6 ornaments and as a group activity, everyone decorates the tree. This is a good way to build team spirit and decorate your workplace at the same time.  Sure. it’ll probably piss off the Jews in your office, but my dad’s Jewish and he got over my family decorating for Christmas.  He even still sends me money.

Don’t forget to institute a “secret Santa” event at work, where you secretly buy gifts for someone and have some type of gift exchange.

However, ever heard of a “Santa’s helper” activity? Someone in the group has to begin this on the sly. Essentially, this first person (the only one in the know about how the whole thing began) puts together a little gift. Ideally, it’s a basket with a few gift items in it. They might be decorative items, baked goods,  bath items, or whatever else seems appropriate. Attach a card saying that “Santa’s helper” dropped by and brought these items. Now the person who received the “helper’s” gift must put together a little something for someone else and – again on the sly – deliver it to the next person. It continues until everyone has received a visit from “Santa’s helper”.

Nothing brings people together like a group activity designed to help others. What if your office-mates came up with an activity designed to help people less fortunate at the holidays? You might adopt a local family and everyone in the office purchases items for that family. You might choose to purchase Christmas trees for needy families. If the public visits your office often, you might even begin a “sharing” tree and people can bring items to put under the tree for needy families or children. As a group activity, the office workers can then deliver these items to the needy.  If you did indeed scream Scrooge in your boss’s face, you’ll be the one delivering the gifts.

The particularly festive office might want to have someone come in and do a cooking demonstration. If there are enough people interested, you can hire a cook or baker to come into your office on your lunch hour and do a demonstration or class. Say you want to bake but don’t know what to bake this year. A baker can come in and demonstrate cookies or other goodies you might not have thought to make. Or someone can come in with ideas and samples for the perfect Christmas meal. These ideas are perfect for the environment where people work many hours and are quite busy but still want to do their regular cooking and baking each year.

Of course, the best thing you can do is hire entertainment for your company’s holiday party.  It’s not too late!  I still have dates open and would love to come and entertain at your office or wherever you’re having this year’s party.  Simply go to Los Angeles magician and fill out a booking request form.

If you book me for a show by 5:00 PM PST on November 17th, 2009 for ANY date in the future, I will pay for my own plane ticket.

If you typically wait until the last minute to do your Christmas shopping you probably understand the stress of last minute Christmas shopping all too well. Not only is it stressful to have to find appropriate gifts and purchase them, wrap them and deliver them to the recipient in a short time period but it also places a tremendous strain on the wallet especially for those who purchase a large number of gifts or for those who purchase extravagant gift for the recipients on their Christmas shopping list. The problem with this type of Christmas shopping strategy, in addition to the stress of finding great gifts, is the buyer is faced with paying for all of these gifts at one time. This can be very difficult especially for those who are already on a tight budget and may not have a great deal of money left over in their monthly budget. Without proper planning these individuals may be faced with the dilemma of either shortening their list of gift recipients or purchasing inexpensive gifts for each member on their list. However, if these same people plan to shop throughout the year they may find they are able to purchase gifts for one or two individuals on their list each month with the money that is left over in their monthly budget. This strategy of spreading out the Christmas shopping throughout the year makes the financial burden of Christmas shopping significantly less difficult.

Opening a Christmas savings account can also be very useful for the purpose of easing the financial burden of Christmas shopping. This is helpful because most Christmas savings accounts accrue interest and do not allow you to withdraw money from the account before a certain time. This allows you to gain a small amount of interest on your savings and ensures you won’t be tempted to use the money you are saving for Christmas shopping for other expenses throughout the year. You could always take an envelop and add a percentage of each one of your paychecks during the year but if you save this way you will not be earning any interest on the money you are putting aside. Additionally, you may be tempted to use some of the money for small purchase or emergencies which arise during the year. A Christmas savings account is so convenient, you can even have money directly deposited into it from each paycheck or you could simply transfer money into your Christmas savings account from another savings account or your checking account each month.

Finally, the financial burden of Christmas shopping can be eased by setting a strict budget and sticking to this budget. This is important because it can help to keep you from spending more on shopping for Christmas gifts than you had intended. If you budget carefully and plan on only spending as much money as you already have saved or as much as you can afford to spend than you do not have to worry about going into debt to provide Christmas gifts for your loved ones. While it is important to set a budget, it is also important to track your purchases to make sure you are sticking to your budget. If you go over your spending limit on a few people on your list, you will have to consider either eliminating a few people or reducing the amount of money you can spend on a few people. This will help you to remain under your budget.

Of course, take advantage of specials!  For example, if you book me for your holiday party by November 15, 2009, you’ll save a tremendous amount on my fee.  Click here now for more information.
