Was happy to be back “home” for this great show where I had a chance to try some of the new stuff.

New York Inventors Party
Attended the annual New York Inventor’s Party in New York City that always takes place on Monday night during the Toy Fair. I have been going to these ever since the first or second one.
Got to hang out with many of the creatives in the industry. Pictured above are my old friends Anne Benkovitz and Mark Setteducati who are the brains behind one of the most creative magic books ever produced, The Magic Show. Also pictured is the legendary Jay Horowitz who told me how he was able to purchase the largest toy company on the world in 1982.
