Magician in Minnesota
Norm's News
August 2010 - Hello and welcome to a beautiful summer in Minnesota! In June I was in full swing presenting programs for High School Graduation Parties. Many of these clients I have invited me back for over 14 years. I am thankful to stay so busy. It really is fun to see the students and parents laugh and have a blast. The goal is to keep them off the streets after their graduation and hopefully save lives while they are having fun together in a safe environment.
Teaching & Touring
This past 12 months I have enjoyed performing and teaching at many conferences for entertainers. It is exciting to be invited to teach my peers. I am honored that they would call on me perform because they have seen many magic acts. I guess the bottom line is that they just want to laugh and have fun like anyone else. I'm glad I can bring some laughs.
Other entertainers say that my magic is different and my comedy approach is unique and that is why they select me to come entertain them and teach comedy writing techniques and my magic inventions. In the past months these events include conventions in Winnipeg, Canada, Williamsburg Virginia, The Magic Castle Hotel in Hollywood and The Crowne Plaza Hotel in Minneapolis.
Coming up are appearances for conferences in Singapore, Kentucky, Connecticut, San Francisco and good old Branson, MO. Yes, Singapore! I entertained with several acts as a part of shows in schools, as well as at a festival of entertainers, a benefit performance and a special Mayor's show. I am thrilled to be a part of this team. I will also do a workshop for the International Brotherhood of Magician's club of Singapore.
St. Paul Winter Carnival
In February I enjoyed appearances with the Royalty of the St. Paul Winter Carnival at the Mendakota Country Club. The Royalty gave out several citations to the Mendakota chef and staff including manager Perry Johnson.
Following the awards I presented my comedy magic show for the families. There were lots of smiles and laughs. We had a great time. I have had the opportunity to present the comedy magic show at Mendakota several times over the years for corporate banquets and special parties. I am honored that they call be back again and again.

April 2011 - Hello - I just got back from N.Y.C. It is good to be home after a fun week of performing and teaching in New York! It was a blast to be the M.C. for 3 shows at a convention there. It gives me a chance to try out some creative comedy bits and I am thankful that they were all very well received.
I also presented 4 lectures in New York on comedy writing and magic inventions that I have created. It is fun to hang out with my peers and also to share some of the comedy methods that have helped me bring fun to special events.
The night before I went to New York I enjoyed bringing my magic to a High school lock in. I do many of these in May and June at Graduation time and I enjoy hearing all the laughter.
