Recently, John kicked off his TOURPOCALYPSE 2012 U.S. Tour at DMACC in Boone, IA.  After a fantastic run there (with a killer audience- thanks again DMACC Bears!) John returned home to continue building his tour schedule and work on new routines.  This past week, we got some PHENOMENAL news.

Some of the Activities Board from Iowa State University happened to be in attendance at the DMACC performance and enjoyed the show so much that John and the team here at Rotellini Entertainment & Design have been asked to perform back-to-back performances on April 21st at ISU's VEISHA weekend.

John is honored to be taking the stage and joins an incredible line-up of performers that include: HOT CHELLE RAE, NEW BOYZ, ERIC HUTCHINSON, JASON REEVES, PARACHUTE, ELECTRIC TOUCH, JAY SEAN, IYAZ, HUNTER HAYES, CRAIG CAMPBELL, and ERIC PASLAY.

It looks like the TOURPOCALYPSE is in full effect! Once again, it's time for John to do the impossible.  

John will perform Saturday, April 21st @ 11:00 P.M. and Sunday, April 22nd @ 2:00 A.M. on the Central Campus outdoor stage.  (Should weather prohibit an outdoor performance, John will be performing in the ISU Memorial Union.)

After nearly three years performing under the "Locked UP" U.S. Tour, John and the team at Rotellini Entertainment and Design wrapped the show in December of 2011 and began transitioning in their downtime into a new Tour for 2012.  The show itself, a work in progress for John over the past year and a half has been steadily working its way into John's routines over the past few months.  

Re-vamped variations on some of John's favorite routines meet new and innovative pieces in the upcoming tour, which has been christened "TOURPOCALYPSE 2012."

Yesterday, A fire erupted at one of magic’s most hallowed grounds, The Magic Castle.  John recieved numerous texts and emails from magicians from around the country asking about the fire or reporting the events as they happened.  John was approached by The Magic Newsire editor Dodd Vickers to create a brief news story on the occurance.

The story can be viewed by clicking HERE or by visiting www.themagicnewswire.com

 John sends his thoughts and prayers out to The Magic Castle and all those affected by the fire.  Thankfully, damage was minimal and it appears as though the Castle, and it's rich heritage will continue to thrive.

Not too long ago, John was in the magic capital of the world; Las Vegas, Nevada.  During his stay there, John took part in MagicLive!-the world's largest gathering of its kind.  The event, brought entertainers from across the globe together to share their common passion for the conjuring arts.  While there, John was asked to speak to a global audience on what the best part of being a magician during an on camera interview with MagicAgora.  John is honored to be featured amongst so many outstanding performers and is glad to have been able to share this moment with his peers.  For more information on MagicAgora, click HERE.
