Joe likes magic, animals, mullets, and talking about his dead brother.
Joe hates drunk driving, female assistants, and PETA.
Joe has a travelling magic show that he takes to malls across the country where he amazes crowds with amazing feats and teaches kids about the dangers of drinking and driving. Oh, and did I mention that there are tigers? There are tigers.
We traversed the sea of PETA protestors (and by sea, I mean 7) to see Joe perform what can only be described as the greatest show on earth at the Sycamore Mall.
Joe appeared on stage with an explosion and some bad 80s rock music (not quite The Final Countdown, but almost as good). Here he is doing Houdini's metamorphasis with his male assistant:
Joe doesn't just perform tricks like other magicians. He uses his talents to teach kids important lessons about drug use and drinking and driving. You see, Joe's brother was killed by a drunk driver, which is very sad, but he likes to talk about it. A lot. In fact, he even wrote a song about it. And by song I mean he talks over the music from Forrest Gump.
After the show you could pay to pet the baby tigers who were set up in one of the vacant stores in the mall. We didn't do this, but I did enjoy that the store was decorated with fake tiger skins.
Magic show + mall + tigers = awesome.
