John Robinson has certainly compiled a great site. I got some of my ideas for my own medicine show there.

Paul my friend I'm looking forward to checking out more of your fine book and DVD on The Magic Of The Medicine Show.I loved what ive seen,I also love what there doing at leaping lizards ! I love thinking outside the box,and returning to the roots of Theater & story telling.Eugene Poinc was a big inspiration,even though he was a bit on the darker side of thing for my tastes.Still I loved his synaptic surfing...Lol! He was a real jewel if the ruff ! So any new projects for you ? Thanks for your contribution to the magical arts ! Magical Michael (Mystae)
