Greetings and Salutations,
As promised here is the new update.
In the last few months we have had the opportunity to work on two video endeavors.
The first was a couple of commercials for the Seattle Mariners.
We contributed a carnival atmosphere to one of their scenes. With the other, Elijah helped one of the players (Yuniesky Betancourt) by providing magic consultation.
It was a lot of fun working with those guys.

These commercials are being aired on various sports channels and are up on the Seattle Mariners website. Click Here To Watch These Commercials!    We're in the Fungo one and Bloopers.

The next video endeavor that we worked on, is a movie called "Beer for My Horses", starring Willie        Nelson, Ted Nugent, Toby Keith & Rodney Carrington.  
In the film, we are a traveling Circus (yea, that was a big stretch,ha ha) whose ringleader is Charlie (Willie Nelson).
Everyone was really great to work with, and as we suspected Willie is a very sweet person.
The other half of the Circus was made up of a group from Austin,TX. called "999 eyes". They bill themselves as "the last genuine traveling freak show in the United States". The two of us combined made a really complete Circus.
The movie is still in production, but keep an eye out for it.
Thanks for reading and have a great summer.

  Greetings to all our friends and fans!

The time is drawing near to our annual departure for the renaissance festival in Arizona. We're always excited about now, to escape the proceeding couple of cold, wintery months of Santa Fe, to be in balmy Arizona. Not that New mexico is so bad, especially compared to say, Minnesota. But, this is just about the time snow loses it's charm. In Elijah's opinion at least!

It will be great catch up with friends, many of whom we have not seen for a year, and to meet new ones. If you are able, come see us and please say "hello"!

     We just returned from fellow performer and friend Arsene Dupin's Wedding in Austin, Texas. It was a

beautiful ceremony. The company attending was warm and inviting, the food was excellant, and there was a variety show in the theatre put on by all his performing friends with Arsene's long time friend,

Danny Lord, as the emcee.  The show was alot of fun, and we had the honor of being the grand finally,

with traditional weddings entertainments from Uzbekastan, and fire eating for the end.

Stay Warm Everyone!
