I am an old conjuror who learned magic first in 1943 with Bert Allerton across our family dinner table many Sunday evenings in 1942 1943. Bert Gustafson had worked with my father at Sun Oil Company as a salesman, was widowed, no kids, and had started working tables at The Allerton Hotel, so changed his name to Bert Allerton. My best friend and I in 6th grade, coached a bit by Bert, started working as Abra and Cadabra and did so until 30 yeyars ago or so when he died. A year or so ago, at an I B M meeting in Madison, Wisconsin, I met Payton Garland, then a 12 year old who had been doing magic for a few years. I placed all the Abra and Cadabra things in his hands and he is doing great with them . . . booked him at Nursing Homes and he was/is a BIG HIT. Pantomime 5 minute opening to a very creative half hour show with wonderful patter and smooth moves, great eye contact and rapport. I would like to have him JOIN this group. HELP

I'm not sure what you are asking us to do. If Payton wants to join the Café, he needs to register just as you did. He won't be able to register however, if he uses a free server like gmail, hotmail or yahoo.
