As usual, the skeletons and I will be at 324 Murdock Road in Baltimore on Halloween night! Come enjoy my newly constructed cemetery fence, as well as animatronic favorites like Edgar Allan Bone, Old Bay Skelly, and Natty Bone. #rfskeletonhouse

Well, I guess the rabbit's out of the hat. Honored to be on the cover of M-U-M magazine, the official publication of @sammagicians.bsky.social!
I've looked up to innumerable faces that have been on this cover; finding myself among them now is quite strange.

Five years ago TODAY we recorded my first Penn & Teller: Fool Us appearance!
My first flight after COVID-19, numerous nose swabs, sequestered in a dark and empty casino, only leaving my room to do a magic trick for three celebrities, nine cameras, and 1500 empty seats.
What a wild experience.

Litiz, PA is delightful and charming! In particular, could not get over how much "Main Men & Ladies" is the kind of store that the Collector of the Impossible would frequent. Case in point: I own the bottom left vest 😂

What a treat it was to run tech for Lucy Darling over the weekend! We got to play with my lighting toys, and the entire Darling team was a joy to be around before, during, and after the show ❤️

I'd love to share the impossible at this year's holiday party! 🎁 Whether up-close or on-stage, it's always a fun time bringing the *literal* magic of the season. Half of my December slots are already spoken for, so get in touch ASAP!

Lazlo fell asleep reading my book ... probably because he's not a magician🤷
But if you'd like a copy, let me know! Just got a new shipment in.
I'll also have them in person:
- At the DC Festival of Magic (LMK in advance if possible!)
- At my lecture for the Baltimore IBM/SAM on Sept. 11

One week from today the annual DC Festival of Magic begins! I've been fortunate to be involved with the festival each year, both performing on stage and working my behind-the-scenes magic.
Looking forward to seeing these incredible, international, award-winning performers do their thing!
