So long and thanks for all the fish!

For the past many years I have been involved in the fun world of creating and performing magic shows. I've met some of the most wonderful people in the world and had more fun than anyone has a right too. Yet, over time, my interest in the world of magic has gotten bigger and broader and could no longer be contained in what people expect from a magician today.

I am no longer doing the traditional sorts of shows that I did before. If you are looking for someone to do a birthday party or a similar event, I recommend that you check with some of the outstanding local performers that you can find here. If that's all you needed then, I hope I was helpful.

What am I doing now?
I've entered into the realm of Paranormal Entertainment. This is an area of theater which explores the weird things that make life so interesting in ways that I could never do in a traditional magic show. If that sounds like fun, you might like some of my new projects:

The Shadow Hour - Each week I do an audio broadcast where I connect with ghost hunters, psychics, cryptozoologists, magical practitioners and many of the most interesting people from around the world. It's a live, call-in show so you can participate if you want. It's also available as a podcast from iTunes or through an RSS feed.

paranormalist.net - People tell me that they are interested in paranormal experiences. To that end, I've been working to create things that will take people out of their day-to-day lives and bring them right into the Twilight Zone. Would you like to personally experience the world of the psychic with unusual demonstrations of the human mind? Are you interested in experiencing contact with ghosts? Would you like to experience the world like a real wizard? It's all weird, yes! But if you are someone who is looking for more than tricks and are willing to open the door to your imagination, you can follow me. I blog here and have information about projects that I'm making availalbe.

Phantasma - (I don't have a web page for this yet.) As part of my work with paranormalist.net, I've developed a show called Fantasma. It's a one-man stage show, which explores our history with ghosts, ending in one of the strangest experiences you've ever had. We are developing the show to open as live theater in Austin, Texas, sometime in 2011. Follow paranormalist.net to get details.

Thanks!
Thanks to all of you who supported me in my work as a "normal magician." I hope that some of you will find your way to join me on my new adventures.

If you would like to keep in touch, I would enjoy that.  Please email me at chris@paranormalist.net.
