This week I’m home and had a wonderful visit with my friends, The Fergus Lions Club. I was looking forward to sharing my own news* but my excitement was to learn how much we raised for the hospital. I’m pleased to announce we contributed over $11,000+ to Groves Memorial Hospital Foundation!!
A million thanks to Lion Margaret Murray for her own wizardry! We sold out one show and 80% the second. I’m so proud to be apart. Thank you all.
I couldn’t be happier to live in a community filled with such much to give.
Ms Murray had another surprise! While normal Lions Club business agenda was taking place an award was announced and I was looking around the room to see who it could be. Never in a million years did I ever consider it was directed to me. I’m still speechless.
This is the Melvin Jones Fellow.

Heading your way first are my new ebooks, tentatively titled The Paradigm Shift Parts 1 and 2. I have been working on this project for almost ten years. I have demonstrated some of the material to a select group of magicians in the past couple of years, and the response has been enthusiastic. (Quentin Reynolds said The IKEA Card Trick is the best routine he’s seen in years.) The focus is on card magic, but you will also find effects that use other objects. There are contributions from Harry Riser, Bob Farmer, Mick Ayres, Roy Walton, and Simon Aronson. In addition to the effects, there are some groundbreaking essays that will help to take your magic to a new level. Each ebook will contain more than thirty chapters. Lisa and I are working furiously in order to have the two ebooks out before the end of year.

Like his counterpart in Miracle on 34th Street, Dietrich has has taken the time to learn sign language and bits of other spoken languages so he can communicate with children from all backgrounds.
"My favourite part is the interaction between the children, the adults and myself," Dietrich said.
Though he's hung up his red suit this holiday season, Dietrich made sure to pack his Santa Claus beard and wig for his time in the hospital, just in case kids from the children's ward stop by.
This year, Dietrich's finances will take a hit as a result of his injury. His son, Scott Dietrich, has set up a GoFundMe campaign to relieve some of that financial burden.
