PUTTIN' ON THE RITZ We're proud to announce we're booked at the newest Ritz-Carlton in January for the Tucson Convention and Visitor's Bureau 2010 Gala New Year Extravaganza. We're partnering with "Elite Ideas" for event planning and have been brainstorming to design an exciting evening for the partners. This event promises to be a show stopper! The new $60 million Ritz-Carlton in Tucson is their largest branded project in the U.S. We also have another surprise up our "Ritz sleeve"… stay tuned for another announcement soon. An evening of wonder and Ritz-magic will be swirling around the Southwest and we're glad to be a part of the adventure!

YOUR ROYAL HIGHNESS! The Dean of the Society of American Magicians, George and Nina Schindler from New York, visited "Carnival of Illusion" (our Victorian-inspired Magical Parlour Show) in Tucson recently. They were part of our "breakfast club" while we were staying at a B&B for our performance at a national magic "Get-Together" in Michigan this summer. They are fun, FUN, FUN (as you can see in the photo) and a wealth of magical and entertainment knowledge. We also learned that they take care of Houdini's grave. Ooooh, Happy Halloween!

LAND OF ENCHANTMENT We just returned from twenty two shows over six days in New Mexico. Although we came back with chest colds and sore throats, we're looking forward to our upcoming busy season. Here's a photo of Roland teaching his floating magic wand to the next generation of magicians at the Eastern New Mexico State Fair.

THIS JUST IN… Due to the US Tennis Association arriving in Tucson, the DoubleTree Hotel has added four more of our Carnival of Illusion Shows open to the public the 23rd & 24th of October! Please go to Carnival of Illusion if you'd like to attend. Included with each ticket, you'll receive a buy-one-get-one entree. Can you believe that? What a sweet deal (and don't forget to ask for a delicious cookie at the front desk).

We're thankful for you and truly grateful for your magical spirit. We look forward to another exciting journey with you in the coming year. Here's to a wonderful, safe and magical holiday season.

-Roland and Susan
