Return flight training saved my ass!!

Driving to work last night I was thinking " Wow I'm going to have a pretty boring Blog report tomorrow my week was pretty repetitive ": Wake up , walk and /or work out on heavy bag. ( My new UFC heavy bag and UFC MMA gloves) do household chores and run errands , nap, go do show (still only having one to two drinks per night, )

Little did I know this good but mundane week was about to take a crazy turn! Got to my show,set-up, performed for an awesome crowd (mostly. as you'll see) made lots of money. Packed up,got paid and went to leave , As i put my hand over the backside of the passenger seat to look back and back out of my spot i noticed what had happened.



I noticed my bird cage was gone from my back seat!!!! I went to the stage, stopped the band ,got on the mic and made the announcement, " Somebody stole my 5 doves out of truck, if anybody saw any please let me know!! (possibly a couple other words LOL) then a property search ensued , i called 911 and i set a block at the exit to search all vehicles on their way out, with no luck there i took another walk around the property and notice a couple sitting alone out on the beach but in view of my truck . I went and ask if they had seen anything and in broken English the replied, "I see lady run with gray box over to water and throw white in air" SHOW ME WHERE!!!! . He walked me over to my now empty bird cage sitting ocean side!. Some drunk B*TCH thought she'd free these poor doves.



Well these birds are home breed and hand fed and trained by ME. they rely on me and could not survive in the wild. So what she had actually done was set up a morning buffet for the Osprey and Hawks. they would be dead at sunrise! I had a team of fans with flashlights helping me search i spotted one in a mangrove tree and got him right away, soon i saw and retrieved another, one of my helpers scored another one just as someone else around the corner yelled" I see another one, I went and got that one. Still one missing, the Cops show up and we all search for like an hour with no luck. I said i bet he's sitting out on the edge of this Mangrove , hanging over the water where we cant see, So i went to the bar , found somebody with a boat and cruised out there, Sure enough there was my fifth bird sitting in the tree. HE pulled the boat right up to the tree and i got him!!!! ALL 5 BIRDS RECOVERED SAFELY.

LUCKY for me i train my birds to "return flight" to me in case they do get away from me in a show (all my shows are outside and my birds are full winged.) So when she tossed them one by one out over the windy ocean each one turned and flew back, not be able to find me, they landed in trees and waited for me to come get them!!!

That stupid "ANIMAL LOVER" almost killed all my birds which would have put me out of work for months!!! Karma is a bitch and i hope she gets hers in the end, ... the rear end!!!!!!!!!!

Day Off

Finally had a day off, first one since i got back from Boston on March 29th. But it was still a busy and productive day, dispite fallin' off the wagon last night. I had a photo shoot this morning for the cover of my upcoming DVD. Also shot my intro to the video and shot the "Learn Magic From Trixx" section of the DVD where I teach 5 tricks you can do to rock your friends and family.
had real busy shows this week here in the Keys , lots of people in town. Hope it stays this way for a while. Looking forward to shooting the DVD LIVE at the Lor E Lei restaurant and Cabana bar here in Islamorada, Will shoot tomorrow (Mon) and Wednesday. 8 :00 pm showtime! Hope the wind behaves for me, but why would it start now!

Until next time .. ROCK ON!!!

Past ,Present, Future.

PAST:
More than once this week people asked me questions that got me thinking of highlights of my magic career. Well as a former Bass player I always wanted to be a Rockstar., And lots of my idols are!! So , Two great things have happened to me because of my magic. One, I got to meet my all time favorite band, Motley Crue! My Idol Nikki Sixx (hence the Trixx in Michael Trixx). Another awesome moment was doing my Show, opening for Slash's Snakepit when he first left Guns N' Roses. I got to hang with him all day before the show, At the radio station, club etc.. He was the coolest M*th*RF*ck*R ever, No Rockstar attitude at all! very cool guy.

PRESENT:
This week I was featured in the local paper with an article about me and my show ,check it out here.

http://pdf.keysnews.com/weeklys/islamorada.pdf . Robert Silk did a great job. Thanx Man!

On March 27th 2010 I flew to Boston for my best friends 40th surprise birthday party, while at his house over the weekend we watched a couple episodes of Celebrity Fit Club on VH1. I was inspired by seeing Rocker Sebastian Bach from Skid Row on the show. When I got home I weighed myself and was a shocking 225 pounds! So one week ago i dedicated myself to getting healthier and dropping some lbs. I have walked three miles EVERY morning in a Sauna suit, done some light weights ,started watching my diet and only have one drink per night at my show and NO heavy partying! So it has been ONE week and I've lost 7 pound s!!! Man that just makes me wanna keep going! I hope to lose a toal of 25 pounds before my 40 th Birthday , August 6th 2010. Stay tuned to see what happens! Will I make it?

FUTURE:
January 1st 2010 I set a few goals for the year and hung it on my wall. One, was to win another magic competition, ....I did that in January 14-16 2010 at Myrtle Beach's "Magic At The Beach" in SC . http://www.magicatthebeach.org/ .

2nd was to study with my "Magic Idol" Jeff Mcbride again. I am already signed up for a weekend with him in May , here in FL !

My 3rd goal was to finally visit the Magic Castle in CA. Well I am already registered for David Sandy's Magic Cruise 2010 out of CA and the pre-party happens to be .... yup you guessed it, At the Magic Castle in Hollywood! So this promises to be a good year for me!
