Visit to the Bermuda Triangle
Bermuda was a blast. The people are super friendly and it looks like everyone knows one another. That is the only way I can explain the hellos while driving, simply by tapping the car horn.
The locals wear unusual attire to an outsider – (the temperature is normally mild to hot) Bermuda shorts with knee-high socks and a jacket are a regular dress for work-wear.
I got my first taste of the local drink – Dark & Stormy, which is a mix of ginger beer that is very tasty on its own and carries a kick to it.
I got a chance to walk in the beautiful pink sand that the island is famous for – regular sand with particles of broken pink reef coral in it and giving it the pink glow.
Standing on the end of the peer and glancing into the crystal-clear waters you will see exotic fish of a multitude of colors going about their business. Even if you don’t look below the water surface, the fish will jump right out as if saying “welcome to my world”.
Same weekend I was there, they had the world rugby tournament happening on the island. Some of the players were on my flight from Toronto to attend this event. After the show Saturday night, I found myself at the rugby tournament street party; many people there have also attended my show. Thanks to all who said hello.
The Toronto television station City TV proclaims the words “City TV – everywhere”. Little did I know that it is actually true, when I turned on the (I assume satellite) television in my hotel only to find a home station describing the cooling fall weather.
My shows were held at the City Hall Theatre in Hamilton and were well attended and received. Here is a link to pictures from one of the shows http://www.bermynet.com/Pictures/magic-show-nov5-04/index.html.
Big hello goes out to the people behind the scenes that made my stay as pleasant as it was – (please forgive the misspelling of names) Mike Bishop, Shelly Johnston, “Richie” Rich Lathan and O’Brian and family from Bermuda Magic (http://www.bermudamagic.com/ ), who worked tirelessly to make this event successful.
The show was opened by a promising local magician Roger Moniz, whose presentation was superb. Bermuda Magic holds a magic show every spring that gives a chance to local magic hopefuls strut their stuff, which is well worth attending.
Here are some of the media appearance in my few days in Bermuda – Shirley Dill and Bryan Darby on VSB Radio, Fresh TV, 1340 AM with Steve Franks, morning drive at 107.5 FM and Power 95 FM, Mix 106 with Peter Lewis, 1230 AM drive with Barry Frazer and Power 95 FM with Wane Al. At one point I ended up “taking over” the disk jockey duties. DJ Steve Franks dared me on the air to hypnotize him during the commercial break, which I did and came back on the air with a few personalities I created on the spot. The Royal Gazette ran an article about me with a picture that covered half the page. Here is a link to it online http://www.theroyalgazette.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20041104/LIFESTYLE/111040095
People came in from remote parts of the island to witness the show, with some as far as St George. However, the island is only 21 miles long… :o)
Bermuda is an amazing place that left me with wonderful memories. I returned from the Bermuda Triangle and look forward to getting back soon.
