This afternoon Gerry Carson stopped by the magic shop, he’s currently working on one of the cruise ships that stop in seattle (unfortunately I forgot the name of the boat).

Gerry is a very cool guy and was a lot of fun to talk to!  Unfortunately it was just him, he didn’t bring  his big cats into the shop

Here’s Gigi from southern California helping out a bit while she’s here visiting her Grandma:

If you notice the cases at the shop are more visually appealing it’s because Gigi has used her excellent eye to rearrange our cases

Here’s Sheila doing a some palm reading for a group of people that bought her book Palms Up:
