I was born on the Ringling Circus in 1949. Still circusing about! Returning to live in Sarasota year round has been wonderful. I used to come back only in winter. My shop is busy with special prop requests. Funny. I try to show my invention, THE ORB, whenever I can. It is impossible to describe.

The things I like most about the Sarasota/Manatee area
Everything is here. Well here you are. Everchanging nature just outside. Sparkle white beaches. Storms.
The feel of the border town. All kinds of borders and horizons are crossed here. Well there you are!
My Interests & Hobbies
I endeavor to entertain and educate with a panorama and panoply of phenomena! MAGIC! You'll never "find me out", and I dare ya! A gentle effect, a nice man in a calm suit, appearing and disappearing at will.
My ORB invention puts a ten foot wide movie on a ball. It cannot be described. Great effect though. The video here is made to be seen at 10 feet wide, on spherical screen.
Hi to all at Toby Circus Ballantine -- "HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!"

"TOO PRECIOUS TO SELL?" - that is a question that is only answerable by the originator of an artpiece. Most working artists struggle for name recognition in an attempt to sell their art. Yet, every once and a while a piece evolves into a glittering example of perfection that you can not part with it. Is it the fear that the artist will never again be able to capture that perfection? Is it a sentimental reason that an artist will not sell a certain piece? Does anyone have a piece they have created that they will not sell and why?
So very true. Art is comprised of a multitude of mediums. Art will grab your attention, make you wonder and make you stand in awe.
