So, a magician's assistant, huh?
I was working in a bar, back home in Kelowna, and Sean Watson, the magician I work with, came walking in.   He's looking at me and I'm like “Oh God, here we go.   What's this Chachi want?”   But we started talking and I figured out what he did and he just asked me.   So I tried it out for one show, it was a hit, and we got a lot of calls back.

Not your typical career path.
I've been doing this now for two years.   But I'm taking four months off because I'm going to be doing a spokes modeling thing for Sports Compact Cars.   So I'll be on the road doing that for four months, but then I'm back in November to do the show.

Greatest outdoor (magic) show on earth?
We won't be performing Stampede week this year.   Our manager fell through on us ... which is why he's no longer around.   Sean has performed there before.   I wasn't with him at the time.   But he was on the Coca-Cola stage as well as just walking around the midway.   We've done quite a few shows at the Stampede grounds, but they were all corporate.
