April 27, 2020

April 16th, 2020, marked the two-year anniversary of the passing of legendary comedy magician Harry Anderson. Here, I take a few minutes to do a couple of things in his honor.

Harry was a huge influence on me early on in my career. While so many were wanting to be like David Copperfield or Doug Henning, I was amazed at how a man could just walk on stage with nothing more than his wits, a deck of cards or a few other props, and have the audiences in stitches or complete shock. Harry Anderson was one of those magicians.

If you are a magician or comedian who has ever had the chance to meet or work with Harry Anderson in the past, please tell me about your experiences in the comments below!

Curtis The Mentalist

Curtis Waltermire is an American speaker, mentalist, entertainer, actor, and businessman. He's also a former pastor and Christian minister, who spent many years in Christian ministry in his younger days and taught in a private seminary for a few years. Over the past 15 years, he's been billed as a professional comedy "mentalist, magician, speaker, actor, U.S. Army veteran, grandpa, cool dad and above-average husband," which has been in his signature for years--even before the "grandpa" part. In the last few years he's added "podcaster" and "content creator" to the list. Today he and his wife enjoy life as empty-nesters, traveling, entertaining and speaking at events all throughout the United States in addition to creating online content. He's been married to the same wonderful woman for 32 years, raised two wonderful girls, has 1.5 sons-in-law and by the grace of God maintains his sanity in a culture that seems to be losing it's mind.
