Do you recognize this picture?

See below.

He was destined to be one of the greatest magicians of all time...

He did shows with Thurston and Blackstone.

He played to packed out houses all over the country.

He was a sought after promoter for some of the biggest shows on earth.

Here's a little more about him:

People would pass out at his shows...he was one of the greatest showman ever.

He was married 7 times, a couple times to famous Hollywood Actresses...

When he died, he was cremated and his ashes were sent to magicians around the world.

Last time I checked...his poster was hanging in the Nashville Airport.

I enclosed the picture because everyone that knows me swears it's a picture of me...

He was my father.

There's a million stories I could tell about the highs of showmanship, and the lows of alcoholism...most that would seem like fairy tales.

Guess I inherited my showmanship from him.

My name is (Mark) Kelly.

I started out in sales in the late 80's and was so successful I became a sales trainer to some of the biggest companies.

I moved on from there...

I acquired many low producing companies and built them up to successful operations.

I got good at marketing mostly through trial and error...copywriting was something that interested me.

It was like being a showboat with words.

Life has been good to me.

Just thought I'd finally introduce myself...so you could put a name with max5ty.

    And here I've been calling you Max the entire time (with others following suit, lol)

    That is very interesting stuff Ma-. . . rk.

    I'm glad you were able to take the lessons you've learned and ascend to greatness, however you may define that for yourself.

      Thanks Eric:

      I used the name max fifty because I thought I'd retire last year at 50.

      I still lay awake at night and dream up ad campaigns though...lol.

      You can still call me what you want
