Recently at work, Paul, one of my supervisors, asked if I could help out with a promotion. We threw around the idea of using Colors the Clown, but finally decided upon Merlin the Magician. The theme was "Bring the Magic Back".

In an attempt to reward the employees for good job performance, Merlin handed out free movie passes and pop tokens.

We took pictures throughout the building of Merlin handing out the rewards to some of our model employees.

I performed a few simple magic tricks. There was a card trick, the magic coloring book, and the magic vase.

Everybody was wanting to know how Merlin did his tricks. I would answer "A good magician never reveals his secrets."

My hat was so tall that I had to stoop every time I walked through a doorway. It kept getting tangled up in the cobwebbs I had set up for Halloween.

Merlin was a big hit and even several days later, I was still being asked how I did the magic tricks. I'll never tell.
