    Magical Mayor candidate Crane makes more troop show Appearances

    (San Diego, California)  fresh from a three-day donated appearance at the recent San Diego County fair, Magician and 2012 Mayoral candidate Loch David Crane  is planning to donate some more troop shows this summer to help local Navy and Marine installations.  Several other shows and a Magic Camp were also provided free of charge by Ring 76 of the International Brotherhood of Magicians in San Diego. Crane frequently donates troop shows as he travels around the United States and in Europe, including the Ramstein hospital complex in which many of our recent veterans recuperate.   There are now 14 legal candidates running for next year's Mayoral race in San Diego.

    This weekend marks another Veteran's Village "Stand Down" held at San Diego High School football field.   The term “stand down” is a military synonym for relaxation, the opposite of "At attention."   Veterans’ children will not only be entertained by Loch David Crane at 11am, but the vets will have the opportunity to receive needed services such as haircuts, healthcare, clothing, counseling, and job referrals.  There are both male and female veterans these days, and more veterans are coming in with their families and that's where the entertainment comes in.  The last time he donated a Stage Magic Show for Stand Down, Crane was privileged to work with the comedic entertainer Joey Bishop.

     Crane's next donated appearance is aboard Camp Pendleton on the 4th of August for the toughest audience known to entertainers--no, not Marines, but their children!  Professor Crane (who was a university professor of Written Business Communication for 25 years until his retirement) will perform a half hour show for the Pendleton Summer Camp’s children, and teach the kids a simple trick they can use to fool their friends.  Based upon the oldest trick in the Bible (cutting off an animal's head and restoring it), Professor Crane will teach the kids how to restore two separate strings into a single unbroken piece.   He assures you that no pieces of string will be harmed during this effect.

    Then on 26 August professor Crane and several other Magicians from Ring 76 of the International Brotherhood of Magicians will donate a day’s worth of entertainment for the pre-deployment party of the USS Pearl Harbor.    There will be several hours of music and live stage entertainment as well as close-up Magic right in front of the audience’s eyes!  This appearance by Ring 76 will also be enlightened by the appearance of several clowns from a local clown performing group, and all families from the USS Pearl Harbor will be invited. Unfortunately the public may not attend this event.  However if you are in the press or a TV news station reporter, and would like to get pictures of Mayoral candidate Crane dressed up as "Bafflin' Bill Cody" in thigh high leather boots, turquoise rings, and a replica of Cody's Wild West circus outfit, your press pass will get you in.   Admiral Baker Field is located at  2400 Admiral Baker road,  92120 and the party will be held from 9am-4pm.    Loch David Crane goes on stage at 1:30pm.

    Professor Crane’s next public show will be at 7pm on Friday, August 5th at “On Broadway,” 615 Broadway downtown.  Several Ring 76 Magicians will also perform; there is a $15 cover and the restaurant boasts Japanese sushi, American food, and a complete bar.  Dancing will be held after the Magic Show.
