My Magic Son Gets A Real Job



Yes, he is still serving Panda Bowls at Panda Express, but in addition to that, my Magic "Son" has gotten himself a job as a magician.

This is our local TGI Fridays.

A few weeks ago he auditioned for a job as a house magician. I figured it would take a while as they checked out other candidates, but amazingly he got the job the same day. The company has decided to have a roving magician to keep the customers happy, as they wait for their food. My "Other" son has the Saturday night gig.
2 1/2 hours of magic earns him $50. That's $20 an hour and any tips he might earn in addition. Not bad for an 18 year old.



I had to pay my Discover bill at the local Sears the other day and when I got there, it was after 5PM Halloween evening. When I saw that the little kids were Trick or Treating around the Mall, it reminded me that there are other stores here and that one of them is TGI Fridays. So on the off chance that my "Magic" son was working, I drove to the other side of the complex and walked into the restaurant. There he was, making red balls appear and disappear for a table of customers. I took a photo or two and figured I would then leave. He said it was his quitting time and so I waited a few minutes and we walked out to our cars together. He was dressed like this, due to it being Halloween, fake mustache and all. I laughed and took a photo outside the restaurant, cause he looked so funny.

It makes me so proud that I have a little bit of help in this, since I still am his driver to The Magic Castle each month.

May this job be the first of many for him.
