Everybody should go! Marshall is a great guy, Tim has a great shop and it is good to see magic thriving in the Windy City!

Hey Tom, are there going to be hot dogs there? :D

P.T.:

Not on the 12th BUT Hot Dog day has been moved for this month to October 13 which is the second Saturday of the month. It is being moved for this month only because....well Tim asked me not to say.

My suggestion is to go see the Magic Cabaret on any (every?) Tuesday night this month, stop by Midwest Magic Friday night October 12 to meet the legend Marshall Brodien and pick up a copy of his great biography and then again on Saturday October 13 for Hot Dogs and a day you don't want to miss. - Tom

Hey Tom-

I will miss Marshall Brodien's book signing as I will be at the Frankfurt Book Fair, but I spoke to him on the phone and HE is going to try and make it out to The Magic Cabaret.

Tim Felix made it out to this week's show and he brought me a case of "Hebrew National" Jumbo Kosher Hot Dogs! What a great man he is!

So what is your excuse? Traffic? Rubella? Hang nail?

Great clip (in morning news video section in the link below) of Marshall Brodien from his appearance on the WGN morning news show here in Chicago. He even does part of the side show pitch he did at the old Riverview amusement park in this appearance !!
