I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you for honoring me as your Guest of Honor this month. The Magic Café has been much more than an online forum for me. It has been a platform to network, an outlet to share my thoughts, a classroom to learn from those more experienced than myself, and a home within a home where I find solace throughout the day, simply browsing through the threads. Most importantly, The Magic Café has been a the driving force behind my philosophy in magic. The Café Logo has the subtext which reads, "Magicians helping Magicians". This resonates deeply with me on a daily basis.
As many of you know, I had an unfortunate series of events happen to me just a few short years ago where my home caught fire and I very literally lost EVERYTHING I owned. I had been a avid member of the boards for a couple of years when it occurred and was simply at a loss as to what I could do. I was in dire straits, and reached out to Steve Brooks who in turn reached out to you, my fellow members of the Café, asking you to help anyway you could. Your response was alarming and helped me recover from my tragedy. Thanks to your generosity, I learned what The Café is all about, Magicians helping Magicians. I thank each of you from the bottom of my heart for all you have done for me, and hope to continue to do you proud, by being as liberal with information as my mentors were with me to help keep this forum full of life and vigor.

Eric,
You are very welcome. I remember when all of this happened to you and I really felt for your loss. I remember looking at my wife and saying; "This poor kid has lost everything that really mattered to him". I'm so glad that the members of our Café community were able to reach out and help. Each of us did what we could. The result? Though there was a raging forest fire we replanted the tree and look at the fruit it has produced! Congrat's kid for hanging in there - you've done us all proud.
