When I was 18, this same lady booked me to entertain at her sons birthday party, it was my first ever paid booking and my first ever magic performance. Last night that same lady passed away after a 22 year long battle with cancer. Thank you Jan Robinson for everything you ever did for me, there is another star in the sky tonight.
