Hi I'm Mark D. Houseman Sr.
AKA Darrell The Clown
AKA Lord Quenton Garth
Ackkk (cough Choke) sorry had a hairball.

Anyway it's great to see that there is such an interest in magic. While my Dad was doing magic people flocked to movies and television. By the time I started getting into it, people were ripe for live entertainment again. Now people seem to want to watch "live" entertainment on television.

I signed up because I have been reading with great interest the discussion about the use of camera tricks and phoney audiences to not only enhance the performance but in some cases possibly be the illusion. I have many thoughts on this subject but I don't know when I'll make it back there and indeed I'm not even sure at these point where the discussion is located.

Perhaps it just..... vanished!

Anyway I've been an entertainer for many years. Magic, juggling, balloon scuplture, puppetry, clowning; this isn't a sentance it's a list. You've heard of a jack of all trades? - I'm not that good!

Most of my kids have performed with me at one time or another. I had to stop a few years ago because of health reasons.

Currently I have a wonderful wife (married 26 years) 11 Children and 2 grandchildren.

Life - where the real magic is.

Hi and welcome to TM - nice intro btw

Welcome

Welcome from Nashua, NH.

Thanks, wow you guys are quick. This is obviously a very active board. I just posted that a few hours ago.

I can tell I'm out of practice because I blew one of my favorite lines. Yes I do often say Jack of all trades master of none. The one I was thinking of that I blew the punch line on was where I say that I am a ten of all trades - you have heard of a Jack of all trades? I'm not that good.

Thanks for the link

-Mark
