After the Show!

Did a one-hour stage show as a fundraiser for an elementary school. Between loading and unloading equipment in 90°F (32°C) heat, I decided to dress casually and change at the venue, which fortunately had a full dressing room. But a one-hour high-energy magic show under stage lights, running out into the audience every few minutes, is a serious workout. So I was pleasantly surprised when the client asked me to pose in front on one of their photo backdrops after the show, and I didn’t look sweaty and exhausted.
