Well I've had another great week , six successful shows in a row. Now my day off! I started with a three mile walk (jogged part of it today!) came home and jumped in the canal out back and took an outside shower, life is good.. .. Grocery shopping, what a nightmare , the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend in the Keys! Not a well thought out shopping trip but I survived. Then off to the laundry mat Blah......Came home and cleaned the whole place top to bottom, (even new rugs for the bathroom.) who cares? lol.... Got lots done this week, especially today. Now it's six O'clock and im thinkin 'bout a movie or maybe just relax with tv or XBOX.
Still loving my juicer! been do well , eating fruit ,veggies and fish or chicken. with a few slip ups this week. But still, I'm down to 209 lbs! that is 16 lbs less than when i started this blog.

Teachers pet

Had an awesome week even though i fought a horrible head cold all week! I left the Keys for Jacksonville Florida on Friday the 14th . Arrived at the Hotel feeling the crap so just hung out in the room until Sat at 7:00pm when i headed across the street to Sawgrass Marriot for the Jeff McBride show and lecture. Jeff was awesome as always ,he performed for 90 minutes, took a 10 minute break then taught magic for another 90 minutes. After everyone left he , myself and Simone (organised the whole event) and her son Travis (awesome people) all hung for a bit had pizza and turkey clubs from the bar.




Sunday Morning I picked Jeff up at the Hotel at 8:30 and we went to see our friend Mohamed's new magic theater he built in his front yard. $$$! We got back to the meeting place for Jeff's workshop around 10:30 where he taught from noon until 4 pm! then he was off to the airport and i went to dinner with Simone and Travis.




Still feeling like crap i got back to my hotel around 9 pm , slept til 10 am then drove in the pouring rain 7 .5 hours to Miami ,set up, did a show and drove another 1.5 hours home to the Keys, PHEW! took last night (Tues) off to recover and got rained out tonight.




More time to set up my new stage Jacket, It's looking pretty cool!

Mother's Day

May 9th 2010 , Happy Mother's Day to my Mom and to All the other Moms out there !!. Had another busy week here in the Keys, another six shows this week! Plus helping the Children's Theatre group on my day off and one afternoon before my gig. It's been fun working with the kids for the special effect's in their play "Into The Woods". I got to create the illusion of the "Wicked Step Mother" cutting off the heel and big toe of the " Step Sister's" with blood and all,... COOL!. It looks great! ( Happy Mother's Day). Too bad I wont be in town to see the LIVE performances as I will be in Jacksonville FL studying with Master Magician Jeff McBride. I hope to at least see a full dress rehearsal before leaving.
What else? ..... Sobriety and Fitness? Ummm the diet and exercise part is going well , walking almost daily, Playing volleyball and tennis once a week... The sobriety part? Not so much . I am doing WAY better than I have in the past but it still gets away from me once in a while. I've been doing it for so long now, I just like a couple drinks before I go on, That's not the problem though. Continuing drinking after the show IS. Adrenaline is pumpin' , people telling you how much they enjoyed the show and wanting to party with you, It's a great feeling but it's easy to get carried away too. I have gotten better at just going home after the shows though, I went out twice this week but am trying to keep that to once a week!
I am SOOO excited about my DVD release, I may not get them until i get back from Jax but it'll be a great coming home gift. 300 copies! You will be able to purchase them at www.michaeltrixx.com using Pay pal or send a check or money order to Michael Trixx Costa 133 Ocean Drive Tavernier FL 33070 along with your mailing address and If you would like me to remove the plastic wrap and sign the DVD please let me know the name of who it's for. The DVD will be $20.00 including S & H . The DVD includes my full show running approx 45 minute plus the Bonus feature is ME teaching YOU 5 cool tricks you can use to ROCK your family and friends!!!! Save your pennies! I!!!);-),

Busy Busy Busy.

Alright !! another day off! first one since April 11th , which if i remember correctly was a very busy day off. Today ? not much different , Grocery shopping , laundry , Blah Blah Blah ... then going to Coral Shores High School to consult the Theater Group with some magical effects for their upcoming production of "Into The Woods" which is a strange clusterf**k of all the fairy tales mixed into one. I look forward to helping them out, though i will not be here to see the final product as i will be in Jacksonville Florida for the Jeff McBride weekend,Show,lecture, workshop! (My favorite magician).

Other news since the last Blog, I did A BUNCH of reading on fruit and how to eat it and how or when NOT to eat fruit. Here is the site where i found the fruit essays by Dr Herbert M Shelton http://www.rawfoodexplained.com/ . (search fruit or Dr Shelton). Anyway I ate SOOO much fruit last week ,(if you eat nothing but fruit for 3 days you will perform a full body cleanse, and your friends will tell you how radiant you look , lol) If you would like the original, very informative and short fruit fact sheet i received by e-mail contact me at trixx@michaeltrixx.com and I'll forward it to you. Though I was feeling great, I became so sick of fruit so I went out this week and bought the Jack LeLanne's Power Juicer (yup , that's the old ,crazy, healthy guy on the infomercials). Man this thing is AWESOME! I can have like 3 apples, 3 oranges,3 kiwi, 2 pears, a bunch of grapes and a pint strawberries in just a few huge sips. they taste great and you get tons of vitamins and minerals, and energy!! Tons of fruit combos that taste great and NO peeling or chopping or dicing ya just throw it in there and BOOM, JUICE! I have continued walking at least four times a week and lost 12 pounds in April,I am planning on sticking with these new fruit "RULES" and see where it takes me.

My magic DVD is just about done!, I am going to watch the final edit (again) right now! My best friend Blaine from http://www.perrywebcreations.com/ is putting the final touches on the DVD cover (front and back) and i am hoping to order them early this week!! So save your friggin' pennies and buy my DVD!! (I will make it available on my site, through e-mail, paypal, at my shows etc......) Not only will you get my full 45 min show but I will teach YOU , FIVE tricks you can do for your friends and family!!!! til next time "ROCK ON"!
