Guess what, ❤️Dear Magic Friends?🤔❓️ "YOU'RE RICHER than YOU THINK!"🤗💰💲Of course, you see that tacky tag-line festooned throughout Scotiabank.😋😛 BUT❗️ if you look at your Loved Ones🥰, who you wouldn't trade for a kabillion dollars, you realize..."Hey! Waitaminute!" You are among the Super-Rich, BEYOND the so-called 1% !‼️💸💸💸You know, this all hit home when performing Magic for longtime dear friend ⭐️Jamie Dean⭐️, who generously hosts a huge free public Christmas Party at 'Dean & Son's Auto', his shop for over 30 years. 🧰🚗🔧The hardest working man in town, Jamie Dean is an honest mechanic (how about THAT!)❗️ who has supported and helped thousands over the years...including yours truly. Huge respect, profoundly grateful.🙏 Fun fact: Mr. J's first EVER paid kids birthday (February 5th, 2001) was for Jamie's own son, Jaeger Dean.🎂🎩🪄🐰🕊 Five thousand shows later, t'was an honour to entertain at Jamie's annual Holiday Hootenanny. 🌠🥳🎊What to get someone who has given so much? Gifted his family a custom personalized 'DEAN-opoly' board game, featuring taped-on highlights of 'Team Dean' over the years. (Please don't tell Hasbro that Mr. J made a makeshift Monopoly...even though with all of Jamie's friends, it would fly off the shelves).🤫🤫😉Always a swingin' shindig.🎉 Like George Bailey in 'It's A Wonderful Life'...beloved owner Jamie Dean is truly 'The Richest Man in Town'.😃🤗🥰Whither the so-called 'billionaires?'🤔❓️ Let Musk fly to Mars...have fun (I hear the atmosphere's not that great). Poor ole' Steve Jobs had lots o' dough, but it couldn't save him from cancer. All Jeff Besos' bucks couldn't even save his marriage, (or his HAIR!) 😋"All we are is Dust in the Wind...and all your money, won't another minute buy..." -from the famous Kansas song.💨🌬⭐️Bottom line: As you know, Your Wealth is Your FRIENDS.⭐️If you're blessed with even a couple good ones, YOU personally are rich beyond the dreams of avarice.💲💰🎵🎶🫂🫂❤️🥰Wishing YOU personally a Merry Magic Christmas🤶🎅🎄, with heartfelt THANKS for the perfectly PRICELESS person You are.👍👍Big Holiday love to YOU, from Mr. J.🎩🪄🐰🕊🌠 ...
