Another year has passed quickly as we continued to provide smiles with closeup magic and talking animals. We attend Abbot's gettogether in Colin,Mi. " the Magic Capitol of the World". Most of the Summer was spent in Ocean City,Md where "Children of the Sea" was presented a number of shows

The big new is that Pauldini and Joanne were married on August 31,2006 in Las Vegas. Check out the many pictures of the wedding. But just like the "Bush bean recipe" Joanne won't give out any magic secret

Pauldini was voted runner up for the magician of the year for the Delaware Knights of Magic for the 2005-2006. Considering the world class members this is a great honor to be in second place.

Pauldini and Richard Sanders at the Oct DKOM meeting
Pauldini and Steve visited the Magic Castle and also spent time with Dean Dill (my role model). Dean gave pointers on his tonight show matrix which he performed for the Johnny Carson show.
The Great Pauldini teamed up with Joanne in March of 2004. She added ventriloquism and now balloon animals to the act. Together they have performed in more than 100 shows. A partial list is show on this site. Many have been performed for 50-150 which is an accomplishment for close-up work.
We have set big goals for the team in 2007.
First we hope to be booked on cruises fund raisers and second during our winter trips we have many planned shows.
Old Stuff
The Great Pauldini is a PhD. Chemical Engineer who spent 33 years with Dupont’s Engineering Department. After working all my life in highly technical efforts consisting of Science and Computers I was given the opportunity to transition into a new career as a perk of the CTP program. This allowed for professional training in the field of Magic, "The timeless entertainment for kids of all ages" It is ironic that Silicon Graphics gave me an award in 1997 for contributions to "Ten Years of Magic". This had to do with the use of 3 d graphic for a virtual reality solution to chemical plant design, not magic as my second career has lead. From the web I learned of Jeff McBride’s Master Class. Jeff McBride was voted Magician of the Year by the Magic Castle and is a master teacher of the art of magic.
In addition to the great magical experience, I met a number of great participants., One in particular is my friend and now magical mentor, Steve McCormick who lives in the Wilmington Area.

I liked Master Class so well that I attended again the following year. In addition to
Jeff, Eugene Burger hosted it. Eugene Burger is recognized as America’s foremost
philosopher on the art of magic.

Through Steve (Hattrick Magic) I met and attend lectures by a number of
magicians too numerous to mention. I became a member of The Delaware
Knights of Magic and the International Brotherhood of Magicians. This year I had the
opportunity to meet and learn from the world famous Dean Dill.
