Well, here it is.
If all has gone well the Spirit of Hallowe'en has entered a few people in the audience but at least one of you has had a vision of some sort.
You've thrown open the door and soon the Spirit of Hallowe'en will be spreading everywhere!
I created this page after entering a trance on October 17th. The day Rob T. announced that our first show had been sold out.
This vision came to me, I don't know if it was meant for the first or second show.
Regardless, my thanks for being so attentive and I appreciate you coming to the show and engaging your imaginations.
Thank you for playing!

If everybody has done their jobs right, this is the card we should have come up with...

Like many other creative professionals when the pandemic hit I found myself out of work.
Fortunately for the family my wife continued working from home and I found myself as acting head-master to our two elementary school-aged boys. Between handing out Work Sheets, running Spelling Bees and learning New New Math, I caught up on all my streaming media, started making bread and worked out the logistics for weekly grocery runs.
I really wanted to work on a show but most of my space and time was accounted for.
They say when the student is ready the master appears, I guess it's true because I happened upon, during my daily scouring of social media, a magician. But this magician wasn't anyone I had ever heard of-- probably because he was a children's magician but he was unlike any children's magician I had ever seen. He combined magic, maker-culture, STEM content in a high-energy, intense, fun-filled show. He had a message for his audience:
"You've got to do what you love. You've got to work with what you've got. You've got to have fun."
-Mysterious Kids' Magician
And it hit me like a lightning bolt. I wanted to do a show, all I had was my imagination and a tiny space in our storage room that I was using as my office. So I downloaded the Zoom app, hired a couple of tech mentors and I started inviting friends over for a virtual show.
And that's how the Closet of Mystery was born.
Oh, and that mysterious magician/ who inspired me so much was this guy: https://www.mariothemagician.com
