You must have heard about Doctors Without Borders, well yesterday we had a visit from Magicians Without Borders, a non-profit organization founded by Tom Verner and Janet Fredericks. It was a real fun and fascinating day. These people go around the world spreading magic. What fun that must be. Harry Chaucer (on the right) was here with a friend.

Here are a couple of photos. They’ve been all over the planet entertaining people. The audience seems to be enjoying it. According to the literature they left me, they have been performing since 2003 for one million children in many of the most war-torn, difficult places in the world like Haiti, Sudan, Burma, and Bangladesh as well as for veterans in the US. They came up from Vermont to see us and it was fun and educational.
