This newsletter highlights some of the events I have performed at in the past year and gives the inside scoop on a medical school drop out turned #1 Magician. My website has been completely redesigned, check out all the new celebrity pictures and videos. I am excited to say I’m getting married in December, my greatest trick yet! As Rex Ryan said on HBO Hard Knocks when I performed for the Jets, “the magician’s fiancee is hot.” Thanks very much to all my great clients and friends.

PRESIDENTS CUP‘Robin Williams is still recovering from heart surgery and
can' ’t be part of the locker-room entertainment at the
President' s Cup, so Fred Couples will bring in a magician/
mind reader to keep his team loose. Couples was amazed
by Matthew Furman' ’s performance at last year' s ADT
Skills Challenge, checked into his resume and saw
football coaches Mike Shanahan and Tom Coughlin have
used him for team functions. Moreover, Couples
assistant captain, Michael Jordan, has hired Matthew
Furman for private parties at his house.’

COUNTRY CLUB EVENTSEVERY SUMMER I PERFORM AT SOME VERY EXCLUSIVE MEMBERS-ONLY CLUBS IN NANTUCKET.
SAUDI PERFORMANCESTHE SAUDI ROYAL FAMILY LOVES GREAT ENTERTAINMENT.
THEY HAVE HIRED ME MANY TIMES FOR PRIVATE PERFORMANCES.

‘Take, for example, last year' s Wednesday night kickoff event, a players-only cocktail hour held in the 16th floor
bar at Harrah' s, the hotel/casino that annually plays host for the weekend. One by one, the A-listers trickle in,
trading bro hugs and chuckles. Ray Allen is there. Tony Romo is there. Mike Modano is there. A mind-blowing
magician named Matthew Furman, who became the tourney' s hired help after being discovered at a Bar Mitzvah
8 years ago, is there, and he has Jason Kidd and Battier shaking their heads in disbelief.’
