The Magic of Kyle Jarrard

                    

June 2008, I had a great time once again being able to help as a councelor for camp RYLA in North Georgia. It is a great leadership camp for High school Juniors and Seniors. The camp is funded for by the Rotary clubs in the Georgia District.

                 

March 2008, I had a wonderful time performing as a Keynote Speaker and Magic Lecturer for the Georgia State Key Club convention held at the Beautiful Jekyll Island! It was a great time of the year to be at the beach! Not too hot and not too cold!

 

                                   

March 2008, I attended the Winter Carnival of Magic in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Every year, the Winter Carnival is highlight for me. I have been attending for the past 6 years. It is always great to hang out with old friends and make new ones!   

                    

August 2007, I attended the Midwest Magic Jubilee in St. Louis, Missouri. While there I had a blast making new friends and seeing the city. I also competed while there and took home 3rd place in the stage magic competition.

                            

July 2007, I went to Mountain Rest, South Carolina for an annual event called "Hillbilly Day".While there I did a lot of pickin' with friends and then won 1st in the "Banjo Competition" (pictured above). This is my second year attending this fun event, and I do plan on attending again next year!

                                                        

June 2007, I went to Bristol TN/VA to attend the "Twin City Magic Convention". While there, I made lots of new friends and placed 1st in the Stage Magic Competition! It was my first time attending this particular convention, and I really enjoyed it. I am already looking forward to next year! 

 

                       

September 2006, I took a trip to Atlanta to be a part of the Earl Scruggs Tribute at Turner Field. I along with 237 other banjo pickers stood on Turner field and played "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" on our banjos for 5 minutes continuously in front of the world renowned banjo player Earl Scruggs. The event was monitered by Guinness and we set a new world record for the "World's Largest Banjo Ensemble". Everyones' names were taken and recorded. This event will be in the next book. The picture above is of those of us standing on the 3rd base line...the other half of the group was on the 1st base line (Not Shown).

 

                        

July 2006, I took a trip to the Society of American Magicians convention held in Lousiville Kentucky where I bumped into and performed for none other than the 3 time world heavyweight boxing champion...Muhammad Ali! It was quite an experience and a moment that I will remember forever. After performing for him we got some photos together and then he levitated for me...or "Floated like a butterfly" I guess you could say!

                                         

March 2006, I won the regional Talent Competition for North Georgia. This sent me to the State Competition in South Georgia where I was deemed a Star Performer.
