It is possible to have a great comedy magic show right here in sunny Florida! I really enjoy performing and some of you got to see that first hand today here in Melbourne. You know who you are and right now you are thinking to yourself how much fun we had. You may not remember what you were laughing about, but you will remember laughing and that is my goal.
Today I was looking though my facebook world and and saw this funny clip that Fred Moore shared. It is taken from the Conan O’Brien TV show of comedian Pete Holmes. When you are ready for another chuckle, take a look at this clip.
This is really funny, maybe a little more for my friends that are magicians, but everyone will get a laugh. Thanks Fred for finding this clip. Remember the noise you are supposed to make at the next magic show now! HA!
Just a few short clips from the Vynn Credible magic show, however the real good stuff has been kept out to show at your next party. Booking Vynn Credible is easy and we now accept credit cards to reserve your show date.
Recently, I was talking with a few friends and fellow magicians after attending a lecture given by Jonathan Levitt and we were discussing how easy it is to become distracted. For instance, below is a video with people bouncing a basketball. Half of the people are wearing black shirts and half are wearing white shirts. Count the number of times the people wearing a white shirt bounce the ball to each other.
Did you get it right? Did you rewind the video because you couldn’t believe how easy it was to distract you?
Here is another one that Magician Bob Brizendine brought to my attention. You may have even seen the color changing deck trick before. See if you can count how many times the color changes. I think you will be surprised.
Did you catch them all? Misdirection is truly a required skilled art that every magician must learn if he seriously wants to become a real entertainer. This is accomplished in many different ways, from voice inflection, to an actual touch, glance or look.
Appreciation for the art as a whole has really taken over my experience of watching others perform. I look for the entertainment and try to learn from those that really “get it”" because that is what the lay audience is really looking for when they come to a show. They want to be the side of the entertainer because people like to be part of a success.
Why else would everyone around the world want to be a Pittsburgh Steeler fan? It sure isn’t because Pittsburgh is a vacation destination. It is because they want to associate themselves with the success of a team that is about to win it’s 7th Superbowl Championship. All of my friends know that I have been a fan my whole life and just had to find a way to cheer on the Black and Gold as Superbowl Sunday quickly approaches.
It was a beautiful day to be out on the links, but we were having a blast in the club house. Celebrities Fore Kids is a great organization that I have had the privilege of meeting today. The purpose of Celebrities Fore Kids, Inc. is to improve the quality of life for children with cancer, and their families, who live on the Treasure Coast of Florida. Presently pediatric oncology services are not available in the Treasure Coast. To further this purpose, the organization works closely with agencies, physicians, schools, hospitals and pediatric care centers. Their goal is to offer financial, emotional, and social support to these children and their families.

I got to meet some great families today and would like to think that I had a part in the big smiles that I saw on all their faces. Lots of audience participation was on the venue today and I think it we can say that everyone had a chance to participate in one way or another. I had so much fun as a Family Magician today and look forward to more of these opportunities.
Now begins the prepartion for next years event, since I have already been told to set the date. Stu has even started to get prepare by pretending to be a very still rabbit. He really impresses me that when it is showtime he behaves so well. Here at the house, I am constantly having to tell him to get out of the dog’s food dish. My dog eats cheeseburger flavored dog food. Maybe Stu is trying to tell me he wants to go out to McDonalds! Either way, he is one crazy rabbit here at home.
The holiday season is quickly approaching and event planners are stuck with the task of deciding what to do to entertain hundreds of employees. The only problem is that, although holiday raffles or give aways are filled with excitement, when it comes to the end of the evening only a handful of people walk away happy with their door prizes. Hiring a great Magical Entertainer may be the solution to your holiday blues. Everyone gets to take away the memory of a fun filled show and many others get to take home the story of the time they got picked from the audience to participate. The office will be swarming with anticipation for next years party long before the season is upon you.
The picture to the left was a holiday party I did earlier this year for United Space Alliance in Cape Canaveral, Florida. Like most corporate affairs the evening started off with a cocktail hour that morphed into a dinner. While guests mingled and had a few drinks, I entertained them with some close up magic. This is a lot of fun because it is magic that happens right in front of them or in their own hands. What a great prelude to a magical stage show, because now they have an idea of my personality, skill and ability to entertain! This really sets the stage for what is to come.
The next part of the corporate show is a cleverly crafted mix of comedy and magic that keeps each guest wondering what they just saw, while they laugh the night away. This is the part that I really love because it gives me a chance to interact with someone on a large scale. Chances are that they have never been on stage before or at least not as often as me. Not to worry because they will still be the star and their 15 minutes of fame is about to begin.
As you can see my willing assistant has the biggest smile and is really enjoying the moment. I can’t wait for next years event with this group. We all had so much fun!
In closing, take the weight off your shoulders of completing this difficult task of trying to make so many people happy and let it up to a Pro. A great suggestion is Vynn Credible for your corporate event because I will make your event worth remembering!
Hopefully this doesn’t mean an end to his career and just the beginning of another chapter in his magical life. Talking with residents of Las Vegas, Lance Burton is more than just an entertainer, he is an a social icon of the city by always helping locally in many ways.
Please pick up a copy of this magazine at your local home town magic store. This is MAGIC Magazine and can also be picked up at www.MAGICmagazine.com or order a subscription. Both of these pictures have been used from the magazine and all credit for the pictures is given to MAGIC Magazine.
I am looking forward to see what this Magic Great pursues next and reading the article. The local Vegas paper reported that Lance wouldn’t reveal his plans, but they do involve a fly rod and a frying pan. Sounds like our buddy needs a little Rest & Relaxation.
Release of the Doves
Is there anything that Lance does that doesn’t look magical? I saw a commercial he did once about adopting animals and his mannerisms alone just made you think a tiger was going to appear out of thin air! We love ya Lance and hope your vacation won’t be for long.
As we aspire to be a great magician, it is legends like this that we must study. Not just because of the trick itself, but mainly one must understand that these are great entertainers and this is what continually draws the crowds every night. Learn this secret and you too can be very successful.
Hopefully, my subscription will come early because I am very excited to read all the articles relating to Lance Burton and his future. If you don’t have a chance to get the magazine, stay tuned for an update from Vynn Credible.
Check out this poster about to be plastered all over Brevard to promote the largest Tropical Rock festival of the year featuring Magical Entertainment by the one and only Vynn Credible.
It’s not everyday that you get a 900 square foot Green Room fully stocked with every beverage you could ever wish for among other perks, but then again, it’s not everyday that you get to perform at the Ritz-Carlton. Last month I got the honor of performing for the Georgia Health Care Association here on Amelia Island and met many wonderful people. I went on stage after dinner for a crowd of over 500 and had a blast with the members of the audience during this comedy magic show.
Before hand, they had a cocktail hour that allowed me time to hop from group to group and perform some close up magic for many that were enjoying the “spirits” of the evening. It’s funny when people tell you their favorite magician story. Like the time this magician made them believe that the card they were holding was the one they originally picked, but then it changed.
October 1st, 2nd and 3rd will be the largest Tropical Rock Music Festival of the year and yours truly will be performing as well. The exact day and time are still in the planning phase, however, sign up on the right hand side for the newsletter to be the first to know all the exact details.
Come out and have a great time supporting a worthwhile cause, a portion of the proceeds go to the Rachel Nates Breath of Hope Foundation. This event has special meaning to me because Rachel was a friend mine who went on way to early for many of us. But since there are plans for us that only one person in this world will ever know, she is now our angel looking out for all of us and encouraging everyone to become an organ donor. Her legacy lives on and we will be spreading the word about her life, as this will also be the release of the film documentary about her.
Now the magic! This will be exciting because you know I love to do what I do and the more people the better. Bring out your friends, family and kids because this is going to be a very Magical weekend!
