Hi Stan:

There was no “Crying in the Chapel” with Rob Ely because everyone enjoyed listening to him.  Great stage presence, wonderful voice!  A bunch of people started dancing.  Even my boss (the President!) asked ME to dance!  He definitely made the ladies’ hearts go pitter patter.

How did Big Al pull my Card?

Big Al is "the Magician" for San Francisco and Pier 39 themes. His three card monte and find the ball under the three cups is legendary. Card manipulation and ball under the cup may be illegal with tourists on Fisherman's Wharf, San Francisco, but is the perfect entertainment for Casino and Barbary Coast themes. Big Al was the strolling magician for a casino theme at the Lafayette Park Hotel, Lafayette.

The event planner was pleased: 

"Good morning, Stan

The holiday party went off without a hitch last night. Everyone seemed to have a wonderful time.  The magician and fortune tellers were well received, especially Big Al.

  My bosses two children attended with his wife and they loved him. Everyone that came to me said that they liked the entertainment. Thank you for your help with making our event a huge success."
