Heluva Good Cheese Magic

As you might expect from a company with a name like “Heluva Good Cheese,” my audience Saturday night had a hell-of-a-good sense of humor. I did some strolling magic from table to table before dinner, and then an after-dinner show of mentalism. It was a nice holiday party, and the only strange thing was that only about a quarter of the employees showed up to take advantage of the free meal and entertainment. The company is doing well despite the country’s tough economic times, possibly because they value their workforce enough to acknowledge them.

If you want to create magic in someone’s life, acknowledge them for something. My wife Sally Ramirez and I just celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary on December 4, which was a time to acknowledge a decade spent in each other's presence. Those are the obvious acknowledgements, of course, but if you’re like me there’s probably someone who deserves your acknowledgement right now, but you have been neglecting to give it. Wouldn't we be smart to go do that right away?

Cheers.
