According to some magazine Avalon, the city in Catalina has one of the best dive spots in the world. Without being able to personally compare it to the Bahamas, I will agree.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/09/10/19/817.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 5px" border="0" align="left" src="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/09/10/19/s_817.jpg" width="281" height="187" /></a>It was amazing and life changing. A little scary, but once you mentally realise tat you can breathe from a tube underwater, your OK.<br /><br /><br />Katia and I took an introductory course. Within 2 hours we instructed, fitted and were underwater.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/09/10/19/818.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 5px" border="0" src="http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/09/10/19/s_818.jpg" width="281" height="187" /></a></center><br />The dive lasted 30 minutes and we dove 25 feet underwater. The most magical part of the experience was the whole world that is under water. We saw fish, sea weeds and other marine life. Fish just swam in front of us like when you walk in a busy street.<br /><br />If you ever get a chance, go for it.<br /><br /><br />Rafael<br />Magician<br />The Magic Of Rafael &amp; Katia<br /><br />Los Angeles Magician<br />http://www.rafaelmagic.com<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7447071315057053526-1117672540028311655?l=www.rafaelmagic.com%2Fblog'/></div>Los Angeles Magicianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18397898480337599071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7447071315057053526.post-56205529601398629502009-10-19T19:43:00.000-07:002009-10-19T21:24:19.734-07:00<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7gj_Z5SUvHA/St0nFOFrWHI/AAAAAAAAAAM/6fnXhI3qv6I/s1600-h/Poster+Contest+Flyer.gif"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 226px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394510899294460018" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7gj_Z5SUvHA/St0nFOFrWHI/AAAAAAAAAAM/6fnXhI3qv6I/s320/Poster+Contest+Flyer.gif" /></a><br /><br />Performed our Magic Show at Los Angeles City Hall on Friday October 9, 2009 and met the Mayor. We have seen the Mayor at special events and shopping at The Grove but we never personally met him.<br /><br />We got chosen by the City Hall to Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month and to entertain the kids that won a poster design contest. Mayor Antonio <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Villaraigosa</span> was there to present the awards. But the cool part of the City Hall event was the artwork from the students and seeing the kids.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7gj_Z5SUvHA/St0sVVxYmcI/AAAAAAAAAAU/TnPcXzlLFJY/s1600-h/mayor2.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394516673792874946" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7gj_Z5SUvHA/St0sVVxYmcI/AAAAAAAAAAU/TnPcXzlLFJY/s320/mayor2.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br />Some of the news media people recorded the event and showed it on the news. So we might have appeared in the news. Maybe Channel 7 News. The event was hosted by DJ Raq-C from 96.3 Latino FM.<br /><br /><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Katia</span> and I took a quick picture with the Mayor, as soon as he left the stage he shook our hands. We felt important. So we took a picture but u<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">nfortunately</span> I took the photo and I cut part of my head off in the picture.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7gj_Z5SUvHA/St0sk9h1w8I/AAAAAAAAAAc/ruX84KncCBQ/s1600-h/mayor.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394516942163133378" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7gj_Z5SUvHA/St0sk9h1w8I/AAAAAAAAAAc/ruX84KncCBQ/s320/mayor.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br />The show went well and the staff at the Mayor's office was awesome and hard working. We like to thank our friend Sandy Franco at Los Angeles City Hall.<br /><br /><br />Rafael<br />Magician<br />losangelesmagician<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7447071315057053526-5620552960139862950?l=www.rafaelmagic.com%2Fblog'/></div>Los Angeles Magicianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18397898480337599071noreply@blogger.com0
