We receive a bunch of emails everyday. Two stood out in stark contrast1 to each other and both asked questions. The first site asked: What if there was a place and a group of people that existed to meet the special needs of folks who perform for kids and families? What if there was a place to motivate you, educate you and point you in the right direction? What if there was a place that helped person after person build successful performance careers? What if all of this really existed? A place so good that your competitors won’t tell you they attend because they want to keep all the resources for themselves. This first email really intrigued us. It sounded like something our good friend and, in our humble opinion, the finest kid-show performer on the face of the earth, Trixie Bond2 might be interested in hearing about. The click through revealed that not only did Ms. Bond know about this show, she was a featured performer and instructor. So that was a very nice email and well worth the click-through. The second email asked: What if there was a place and a group of @%@($ that existed to meet the &%*@ needs of &^%$# who perform *&^%$^##@# all night long?3 . . . . I think you get the point. The second email was spam. It wasn’t even accurate. I went to the site (late at night when everyone was asleep) and there was no magic taught. In fact, it appeared to be a site about helping the poor. There were pictures of poor men and women who couldn’t afford food or clothing. They all looked hungry and skinny and must have been cold without any clothes. I was moved to pity but because I didn’t think I could learn any magic tricks, I left the website and thought how lucky I was not to be in that situation. I guess I should have donated money to them, but I couldn’t stand the pitiful images. Getting back to the first email. Visit http://www.kidabra.com/ and see what I am talking about. The Convention will begin on August 20, 2003 in Gatlinburg, Tennessee and has a staff scheduled that truly is the who’s who among the kid-show performers. If you do kid-shows, if you have kids, you were once were a kid, if you can spell kid, if you are a young goat4, you need to check out this site. As we get closer to the convention, we’ll keep you up to date on the conclave and the entertainers scheduled to appear. If you want more direct information, there even have a link to register for their newsletter at: … We receive a bunch of emails everyday.

P.S. to the person who sent me the other email, I am moved to pity but there is nothing I can do to help your poor, impoverished friends. I will keep them in my thoughts but please don’t send me any more of the emails, I can’t take the sorrow. 1Stark Contrast was the title of my first movie. I played a young and na?ve tanning room attendant looking for the perfect tan and finding only first degree burns and a broken heart. It is still available as a training video for tanning bed operators under the title Don’t Do This or You’ll Burn to Death. They had to take out the funky soundtrack though. 2Despite the suggestion that we are biased in our belief that Trixie Bond is the finest Kid Show performer in the history of mankind, we continue to confer that title on her. We conducted a lengthy review of every Kid Show performer that were as kind to Inside Magic as Trixie and found that she was still our favorite. If this makes us biased, then so be it. 3We have replaced some of the unfortunate word choices used by these poor, starving, naked urchins. It makes sense that if they are unable to afford food or clothing, they are also probably unable to afford a proper education where they would learn that there are nicer words they could use to describe their poverty of spirit. Ironically, perhaps if they had been influenced by the kind Kid Show Performers to found at KIDabra, they might have learned nicer words to describe their impoverishment.
