Being able to see the Ed Alonzo show, Priceless.

This is my version of the VISA commercial. Cost of season passes to Valleyfair:  $175.00. Cost of food and drink while at the park: $20.00. Being able to see the Ed Alonzo show, Priceless.

I cannot express to you enough my thanks for making this past Friday such a special day for my family.  In my wildest dreams, I never imagined that you would invite us backstage and give us an “insiders” look at a top-notch magic show.  Somehow “thank you” does not seem like enough. To give you an idea of how this show impacted my two boys Zach and Parker here was the rest of my weekend.  On Saturday they rigged up the living room to resemble as closely as possible the dancing hank trick. On Sunday they hauled the fan down from their bedroom and rather creatively built a replica of your final illusion where you float across the

stage. This was set up in our main floor playroom which is adjacent to our living room. In other words, our main living area was transformed into your stage area. He also was doing a pretty good impression of you wearing his black pants, white shirt, black vest, and Harry Potter glasses.

Despite your best efforts at downplaying your talents, Zach and Parker now understand just how impressive of a magician you are.  We spent some time on the Internet over the weekend reviewing some of your awards and recognition and they were very impressed by your stature in the magic community.  The toughest thing to explain to them was how someone like yourself can be so very good at what they do and yet be humble.  Having you as a role model will do more for teaching my boys about humility and the value of doing good deeds for others than I could have done alone in years.

Thank you again for your kindness. We should be back at the park in the next several weeks. If it is okay, we will stop in and say “hi” again.

Best wishes,

Pete and Family
