My family and I just returned from an amazing trip to Disneyland
(CA). My opinion: Walt Disney was a real magician. He knew the
secret to making grown adults feel like children again. He created,
and envisioned, what really must be the happiest place on earth.
Seeing it through the eyes of our five-year-old son made it even
more magical and special. As adults we found ourselves believing
Mickey Mouse and all the other characters were real and you'd get
goose bumps meeting them.
There is no doubt about it, Disney created real magic and the power
of the park is that is brings out the inner-child in everybody. I'd
love to do a study on the magic Disney created that makes all this
happen. While you are at the park you are immersed in this amazing
world he created, but thinking back there were so many elements
intertwined.
This month’s feature story also has that same quality of being able
to make adults feel like kids again (with his act). Marty Putz has the
ability to transport everybody to a place where silliness rules; it's
OK to laugh out load. You can't help but fall in love with the boyish
character Marty creates on stage, and laugh so hard at all of his
childlike antics.
I've always said there is a difference between childish and childlike.
Both Disney and Putz have created a formula that works and for me.
This is what magic is all about.
Finally, if you have any news from around the world that you would
like to share with readers of VANISH then please submit them.
We love hearing of what is ha ppening and being able to share that
news with others.
