Some of our friends.

Hello friends,

We really like it when we get to know a little bit about you. It’s very easy when you visit us face to face in our show room. It’s not so easy in cyber space. But every now and again, it does happen. And when it happens, we feel fortunate.

Our two new internet friends are Jim & Gabe. I just want to say hello to them.

Jim Spinnato has been shopping with us since we started our website. He is a comedy magician/mentalist and hypnotist from Connecticut. http://www.jimspinnato.com/

While I haven’t seen Jim perform, I hear through the grapevine that his act is very good.

Jim was recently at Foxwoods playing poker and he started chatting with one of the players at the table. Jim told this guy what he did for a living and it didn’t take long for Ronjo to come up. It turns out the other guy is one of our local clients (I do wish I knew who he was). Of course Jim sent me an email about his visit to the casino.

There is another connection here. I find myself at the tables at Foxwoods on a regular basis. One day soon Jim & I will be competing against each other (if we haven't already) at the table. This really shouldn’t be a surprise, doesn’t everyone play cards on the side? So I say to Jim, You had better protect your chips. I want them in my stack! Or maybe I should let you keep some of them so you can continue to shop on our site?

Another one of our new friends is Gabe Abelson. Gabe is a subscriber to our e-newsletter http://www.ronjo.com/magic/subscribe.html. Gabe was one of the few to really get involved in our last promotion. He has taken the time to write about 3 dozen reviews for mentalism products that he is passionate about. Gabe takes mentalism very seriously but his true love
is writing. He loves to write reviews, and, in fact, used to be a movie reviewer. Not familiar with Gabe’s work? Yes you are! Movie reviews are only a small part of Gabe's impressive writing resume. Check out IMDb http://imdb.com/name/nm0008589/

Gabe Abelson is a four time Emmy-nominated writer for "The Late Show with David Letterman." Gabe has also served as staff writer for "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno", "Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher", and "The Late, Late Show with Craig Kilborn", in addition to having served as Producer of "The New Tom Green Show". Gabe has also written for numerous award shows, and produced pilots for MTV.

Gabe it was nice talking with you. And thanks for all the reviews. Now if we could just get a few of our other friends to do the same. Because we get so few reviews, I tend to think that many of the ones on other websites, magic or otherwise are bogus?! I wonder.

Jim & Gabe, thanks for allowing me to tell the rest of the world a little bit about you guys!

Until next time,

Pete
