JMT's Interests
|
| General | Politics -- I'm a conservative. I try diligently to be thoughtful, principled, and attentive with regard to political positions, and I have a variety of friends from across the socio-political spectrum. I also enjoy Christian theology and apologetics - heroes there are C.S. Lewis and Ravi Zacharias. Musical theatre performing/directing. Magic, both close-up sleight-of-hand and stage illusions. | | Music | Rather eclectic. Favorite genres are Broadway musical scores, jazz/swing, and standards from the 30s and 40s. (OAS AAS LLS!) | | Movies | Movie musicals, classic Hitchcock, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and Lawrence of Arabia. | | Television | Fox News Channel. CNN Headline News. Law & Order and other crime/court dramas. | | Books | Space, by James Michener. Most of CS Lewis' work, but particularly Miracles. | | Heroes | My grandfather, MP Carter. Ronald Reagan. The US Armed Forces. |

About me:
I'm happily married with two kids, and I get paid to have fun and entertain others! I am a corporate magician -- I use sleight-of-hand, illusions and mentalism to create customized programs for meetings, trade shows, conferences and other corporate events. Sometimes it's for sales or marketing, sometimes it's just for entertainment -- but it's always fun! I also have a one-man show, Shenanigans, that is presented periodically at the Grand Hyatt Atlanta in Buckhead. Click on the logo to check upcoming dates and buy tickets!
I'm definitely an extrovert. I have a musical theatre background although I majored in Physics/Chemistry Education at Mississippi State University. I can't explain that other than it's a whole left-brain/right-brain thing I've got going on. I don't get to do as much theatrical performing anymore now that I do magic fulltime, but I still love to sing and play the piano.
I'm looking for opportunities to network with other creative people, people who share any of my other interests, or people who just enjoy good conversation. I have a lot of friends all over the world, but there's always room for one more. Feel free to message me and introduce yourself.
