Hello there, and welcome to the July Edition of my Monthly Newsletter titled "Magical Happenings!" I have created this monthly newsletter as a way for me to stay in contact (and reconnect) with my friends, fans and former clients. You will hopefully find useful and fun information, as well as some news as to what I've been up to and what I have coming up. You all remain the heart of my business, and putting together this newsletter is the least I can do to show my appreciation. Without you I would not be where I am and I am forever grateful for that. Also...If at anytime you want to be removed from the newsletter, not a problem, please just let me know. I've been extremely busy performing lately, but have also been fortunate enough to "sneak" in a famly vacation up north to our cottage at Higgins Lake. Always a great time up in beautiful Northern Michigan! I have also been busy making some big changes to my website. I will be integrating much more video in the weeks to come, but for now I do want to share with you my brand new Birthday Party Promo Video, which I'm very proud of. My friend Jon Powell recorded all the footage and was amazing in the way he fit it together. Check out my latest video by clicking here: _http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wvEbNkRv0E_ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wvEbNkRv0E) Please let me know what you think! And now...hot off the press, the July edition of my Newsletter. Enjoy! Alan Kazam's Magical Happenings!
