Steffan Soule - Fantastic magician in Seattle

6 of Diamonds

While at the Microsoft Global MVP Summit last month, our product-group dinner/party (Security and Networking groups) included a magician as ambient entertainment. I always enjoy a good magician, but this guy was fantastic. Cards, rope, rings - anything that he fit on his small table - I never saw a repeat trick in more than an hour of watching. And even though I had a pretty good idea how something was done, I could not see the evidence in spite of close scrutiny. How he pulled that card with my name out of the little box remains a mystery.

Steffan Soule is just extraordinary. His delivery is low-key, he's friendly, and he's really good at engaging his audience. He's been doing corporate events (like this one) for more than 20 years, and with proper advance preparation is able to build in the company's schtick/message into his act.

I'm doing what I what I always wanted to do (software), and it's obvious that Steffan is living his dream too. It's always a joy to watch one who is truly an expert in his craft, and he certainly was.

Thank you, Steffan: you're truly an artiste.
