It’s Magic!

One of the more interesting things we’ve been a part of was the behind-the-scenes work involved with Darren Romeo‘s disappearing race car illusion. We were contracted to supply a slightly modified Jeff Gordon #24 DuPont car, and Darren’s folks in Branson did the rest. The show pitch as I remember it, was that Darren would be dressed as Jeff on stage with the car, and make it disappear. When the crowd left the show later, they’d have to pass by the car sitting in the lobby and would wonder how it got there from the stage. We only supplied them one car, so I’d love to tell you how he did it, but I don’t know – it’s magic! If you’re ever in Branson, check out his show.

Welcome to my online home since 2004. I blog a bit about my life as it happens, my work as I am permitted, and occasional throwback entries. When I'm not writing new posts, I actively curate this blog, improving the wording or adding new media to old posts, and finally finishing old drafts I've left sitting for years. It is not my intention to be a source of news or content. I don’t have anything to sell, and I’m not trying to get likes/shares/follows. This site is an autobiographical effort - imperfections and all. My life, remembered in my words, my way.
