Vacation Magic

The author mesmerized by an expert - Kona Kozy
Vacation means escape; the meaning of vacate is, after all, getting out of a place that was previously occupied.  The occupied spaces are sometimes only in your mind.  There are so many cares involved with day-to-day living, even in semi-retirement...put this away, wash this, don't forget your doctor's appointment, what's for dinner, does the car need servicing?  Vacations are necessary respites from the quotidian.

One of the best escapes of this vacation was a one-man performance from a magician/comedian who calls himself Kona Kozy.  Kozy is a large and loud man who brings to the stage a rare combination of bombast and subtlety.  He is no ordinary magician; nor is he an ordinary comic.  In fact, there's nothing ordinary about him.  His legerdemain involves more than sleight of hand; it includes reading minds.  When a calculator is used to add, subtract, multiply & divide random numbers supplied by the audience results in a phone number that, when called, rings in the audience, it must give you pause.

But the astonishment of the mind-reading was exceeded by the laughter, and therein lies the true magic.  A true vacation.  Next time your on the Big Island of Hawaii, don't miss it.  Kona Kozy at the Tiki Palace in the shops at Mauna Lani:  www.konakozy.com.
