What amazes me the most about you and your performances, both with Jonathan as well as your solo work, is the preciseness of each step. I have watched you on video as well as live a number of times at the Castle and my favorite part is not just the "instantaneousness" of the Metamorphosis, but the fact that every time you snap the lock on, you "POP" your right foot up while on your right knee! EVERY flipping time! It is so unique, so different, and so YOU! Keep it up! I'm behind you 100%!

And thank you and Randy again for the music!

Thank you Rick for such kind comments! Break a leg using the music. I’d love to see what you do with it in your own show.

Charlotte, you amaze. See, did you get angry when I once wrote that they said Madonna is the best performer in the world? I'm not putting you both on the same shelf, I meant the highest level of performance) Charlotte, I would never want to offend you, you both are like two different worlds. Yours is delicate, full of grace and sensitivity...

Fascinating history. Many thanks. It gave me a look at the 80’s I missed entirely having gotten rid of any TV sets by 83 because of early cable TV and the programming going on. Metamorphosis has a many layered meaning to society and the occult underworld it is built upon. Wonderful music.

Great story! I wish I could have seen you when I visited the Magic Castle. (Also, I love the Emerson Lake and Palmer as the soundtrack for the metamorphosis in the older video.)

So glad we've met!

I saw ELP (in 1987, IIRC). (P was Powell at that point because Palmer had died.)

Just as a side note May 29, 1953, was the day Hillary and Norgay completed their climb to the summit of Mt Everest.. It was also the date that Queen Elizbeth II ascended to the oldest Institution in Western Civilisation. Also upon his most extraordinary feat, before his return to base camp at Kathmandu he received the highest recognition that of Knight Commander Most excellent Order of the British Empire. As but one lowly Esquire at but the very fringe of titles an aspiring to that of Knight Apprentice… A Knight Commander is the very summit of honour… Only the Grand Cross is of higher rank only awarded to Royalty of the most exceptional service. An amazing storied life from both ends of the spectrum.

I have had the pleasure of seeing you perform in person many times! One thing I discovered is that your presence fills the room….no matter if I was in the first row or the last, you have the distinct ability to project the beauty and excitement of your craft to draw me in.

Thank you Michelle, your comment means a lot to me! More than you know, because of the negativity I received from some magicians when I first posted my version a few years ago. 🤗♥️

As I was saying, if you like I can put you on my server with root keys, once the cloud dns is working properly you can work local rom the cloud and ave offices in Monte Carlo, or wherever. I need to get a little testing done to see outside my neutron router. If you don’t mind the glow;)
