Critical Reviews: Amazing Magic Show and Yo-Yo Exhibition 2011-12-12 - Shelby Co., KY - Photo by Granddad. Linda and I were able to obtain premier seating on Saturday, December 10, 2011 for the packed performance of Graham's Amazing Magic Show in Shelbyville, KY. General Admission was 25 cents or 50 cents for the high end seats. A tip box faced in front of the stage was profitable which created the need for an encore Yo-Yo Exhibition, by Evan, right, who introduced VIP seating at $1.00. The second photo was taken at a street show at a Shelbyville restaurant. Both shows were excellent, and all grandparents, aunts, uncles, parents, and impressionalbe younger cousins highly recommend seeing the shows if they are ever in the area. -Granddad.

And Chad Parnell writes, "Mrs. Myers and I came up with this idea based on an idea from the internet: $10 dish drying rack from Wal-Mart, powerstrip, some zip ties and you have organized iPad storage. We wanted to share!" (Lesson learned: Make sure your powerstrip outlets are spaced wide enough to accommodate the iPad plugs.) Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
