Your writing envelopes the ethers of Yesteryear’s; taking me to that hilltop house and looking out into forever. Just breathe. What a fantastic story.

Awwwww thank you! forgot to write add that a few weeks prior to visiting their home for the first time my then husband had a dream of going to a home on a hill. Going up a long winding road. The day we visited their house he recalled his dream and how the road and the home was exactly as in his dream. I appreciate your support and thank you once again. Have a very magical day! 🥰🥰🥰✨✨✨

Thank you my sweet magical friend! I really appreciate your complementary words. And yes I definitely got my workout. I just walked in a parade the other night here in my hometown. It was a mile and a half long parade. Then we had to walk back to our cars. 😂 I can’t tell you how exhausted I was and today I am still sore. Even though I use my rebounder and treadmill nothing replaces walking. Randy and I will have to go out more and walk.

I love your stories Charlotte and I appreciate how well you took care of your body and still do. I’m pretty positive I watched you in that NBC Disney 88 performance. My parents didn’t have cable so any magic filled performance on network TV back then I was on it. Thanks for your stories and how well bring them back to life for us.

I appreciate your support Kris! Thank you so very much. Yes if you watched a few of the magic specials from the 80s most likely we are a part of those shows. I hope you are having a fabulous weekend! Blessings to you! 🤗✨💖

“No magic show on earth can compete with this mystical reality presented by the Supreme Being.” —- I loved his line.

Ms. Charlotte, yet another interesting and absolute enjoyable post. You both are incredible individuals.

I met Jonathan and West a few years ago. They visited us in Michigan to bring home their new puppy.

They spent the day with us and we all enjoyed the story telling about magic and watching them enjoy their new family member. I would hope one day we can meet you and spend time talking about Magic and Alaskan Malamutes.

Love your “Diaries by Charlotte”

Thank you,

May there always be Magic in your Life,

Magic Joe

Again, I must comment how amazed I always was when watching the Pendragons perform. It is indeed magical that you always appeared lighter than air while suspended….your core strength was phenomenal! Without your grace and command of your body, few of these illusions would have been possible, especially at the level achieved by the Pendragons! Jonathan, with your input, was truly a genius with regard to concept and design of illusions. In my opinion, nobody else performed at this level of artistry and class!

Thank you so much Karen! Sending you lots of love ! 🤗♥️🤗♥️🤗♥️🤗

From your point of view, you saw a lot. A very good symbiotic relationship on stage. We needed each other to do what we did. Your words are a true compliment because I know you have seen a lot of magic in your life. God bless you and hope you, Nelson mom and her babies are doing great!🙏✨

I am your FanGirl, for sure! Yours was an art form like no other…strength, beauty, creativity, transporting your audience to a new level of appreciation for your performance skills. None have done it better! Sending my love!

I just watched the video. The music you used is etched into my memory. In 1987 I saw a local magical duo perform (Tucson, AZ) to that music and that was the moment I decided I wanted to perform on stage. Now, I want to get back on stage and perform!

Expand full comment

Wow! I love these serendipitous moments. It was definitely a piece of music many chose to use for their magic acts. A phenomenal piece. I hope you get back on stage and perform soon! Blessings to you and have a very magical day! ✨🙏🤗💖💫

You are the perfect person to perform that illusion. Not something I could have ever considered when I was performing LOL.

Expand full comment

I am very happy you appreciate the illusion and my work I put into making it a piece to be proud I performed. I’m certainly not performing in in this day and age! L O L!

Have a magical day Jan and God bless you!✨🙏🤗💖💫

I look forward to the book that you MUST write….

I started to write a book several years ago and what stopped me was the large amount of information. I had no idea what to edit out of my book. Writing on Substack allows me to pick and choose what to add to my book. It’s help me with my process. Thank you so much Richard for your support and I hope you have an awesome magical day! 🪄✨✨💖✨ 💫

Saw spellbound when they toured Manila! Magic magic magic 🙌❤️🫶

Fantastic! By the time the show began touring it wasn’t really the same show. It was the show and name only. But the show always had very good magicians and the show always was spectacular!

A truly delightful read and I enjoyed the story and the video (very impressive!). You are a wonderful story teller, Charlotte…made more interesting because you lived your story! ❤️

It brought to mind the fascinating story of Tibetan monks using sound to levitate heavy granite rocks into position on the side of a cliff. Not a magic trick but Tesla physics using sound and vibration.

Thank you so kindly! I appreciate you reading my posts and appreciate your support Featherjourney! 🪶 🤗 it means a lot to me!

I have never heard of the Tibetan story so thank you for that! It’s not a magic trick because you understand how it works. Shows somebody who doesn’t understand physics and then it becomes magic. The universe is like that, full of Magic! 🪄 ✨ ⭐️ ✨ 💫 🌙

Have a fabulous weekend! 💖💖💖

Well if either one of us finds our lost abs, let’s agree to go halfsies 🤣

Dang - you got some abs, girl! 😍

I laughed at the idea that Sam & Doris may have owned an African Grey with Tourette’s.

If something went wrong during the sword trick, would investigators conclude that you chose to fall on your sword? 😂

I love your writing style.

You’re a total badass.

Lol, thank you! qualify that too, “I once had some abs!” Love Tourette’s 😍🤣

Fortunately I never fail on the sword for an investigation to happen. Funny idea!

I really appreciate your generous support! The fact you love my writing style blesses my heart. Have a magical weekend! 🪄 ✨ ✨ 💖
