🎩 Thankful for Magic: A Reflection on Gratitude and Opportunity

For us, magic has been more than a career. It’s been a doorway that’s opened to a world of creativity, travel, laughter, and connection with people from all walks of life. Every time the lights go down and the show begins, we’re reminded of how lucky we are to share something that brings joy, curiosity, and wonder into people’s lives.

✨ Grateful for the Audiences

We’ve performed for audiences in theaters, schools, cruise ships, and resorts — and no two crowds are ever the same.

Some nights, it’s families seeing their first live magic show. Other times, it’s couples, friends, or entire community groups.

We appreciate your laughter, your gasps, your curiosity. We’re endlessly grateful for every person who’s chosen to spend an evening with us, to believe in the impossible, even just for an hour or so.

🧳 Thankful for the Travel

Magic has taken us across the country and around the world — from bustling cities to tiny towns we never would’ve discovered otherwise. We’ve seen oceans and mountaintops, performed in small town historic theaters and Broadway stages.

Each new place has given us stories, friendships, and a reminder that wonder truly has no borders.

The chance to now perform regularly in the Poconos, sharing Straight Up Magic with families and travelers alike, is something we never take for granted.

🪄 Thankful for the Craft

Magic teaches patience, resilience, and the art of problem-solving. Behind every illusion that looks effortless are hours (sometimes years) of rehearsals, rewrites, and reinvention.

It’s taught us to keep going when things don’t work, to adapt when the unexpected happens, and to find creative joy in the challenge.

Magic has given us discipline, humility, and constant curiosity — lessons that extend far beyond the stage.

❤️ Thankful for the People

We’ve been lucky to work alongside incredible individuals — assistants, technicians, illusion designers, theater staff, and countless others who make every show possible.

And then there’s the extended family we’ve found along the way — fellow entertainers, fans who travel to multiple shows, and the many friends who’ve believed in what we do since the very beginning.

To every person who has helped us pack a truck, hang a light, run sound, sell a ticket, or even just say “Great show tonight!” — we’re deeply thankful.

🦃 Thanksgiving Gratitude

This Thanksgiving (and always), we’re reminded that magic can bring people together — to laugh, to believe, and to share in a moment that feels truly extraordinary. 

To everyone who’s ever supported us — thank you. You’ve been part of this journey in ways you may not even realize. From the bottom of our hearts — thank you for being part of the magic.
