Notch in the Crown's



Thought I'd tear a thumb sized notch out of the side of a deck of tough and nasty Gold Crown cards. Now that's fun!

Earlier today I came across a person who was at my performance on Saturday. She was very complimentary of my show and had a question for me. "How can you do the things you do?".

I told her the same thing I tell everyone, I believe I can. One of my favorite quotes is this, "whether you think you can or you think you can't - you're right". I'm not sure who said that but they nailed it!

Hello Mr. Kennedy.



Everywhere I went in Ireland I was surrounded by history. This is a memorial to JFK, whose great grandfather left Ireland to become a cooper in East Boston.

Ireland Post 2



Taking a few moments for some quiet reflection. Times like these are one of the keys to my success.

What a view, you can see the sea on the horizon about twenty miles out.

Ireland Post 1



I just returned from a series of performances in Ireland. Aside from the formal demonstrations and motivational talks I went there to deliver, I also did a bit of impromptu feats around the country.

After hiking up 1,500 feet and breaking for lunch, I thought this would be a good place to do a traditional feat of strength. With a 1,300 foot vertical rise in the background, I wrap up a 60 D spike (1/4" x 6") in only a thin bandanna and bend it around my index fingers.

Be sure to check back for more from this incredible voyage.
