This is not my new look but an elaborate Emcee bit that paid off.

2025 Wand Ceremony
As the longest serving board member of the 4F Magic Convention (Fechter’s Finger Flicking Frolics) now the non-profit 4F Magic Inc. I am tasked with the special presentation of the Wand Ceremony in memory of all the magicians who have left us since the last convention.
It was held at the Saturday night banquet, with all magicians attending during the 52nd Annual 4F Magic Convention that took place on April 23-26, 2025, in Buffalo, New York.
