DANNY HUSTLE





on my journey to meet the best sidewalk men danny was on my list i made it my business to meet him.

i heard alot about him and saw him on the cellini dvd.

when i was travelling kozmo was helpin me on the phone find good pitches and i asked him if he could make it happen for me to meet danny.

so i rolled into boston in my 88 dodge caravan{gun metal grey with rust spots}.

danny gave me directions on the phone and i met him at his house.

i met his wife and kid they were charming.

we got to talkin his family are the real deal vaudville and general entertainers, for generations.

he's got archive footage of everything and an encyclopedia mind of entertainment history and knowledge.

we went and shared the pitch at quincy market and there was a bucket drummer there and he decided he was gonna set up on us.

danny had other plans for him.

danny cranked his amp and blew him out....i wanted to be helpful so i did my silent act while he was drumming and hatted the people and walked over to the drummer and gave him a dollar the only one he would be makin there. this pissed the drummer off but before he could do any thing about it the cops came and shut him down...it was a touching momment.

danny was humble about his show, but his show was the quitisental sidewalk act.

the tricks were original and genius.

its the way his mind works its in his blood in his families blood he's pure show business.

the thing about danny is he's loyal to his family, friends, and his art and its tradition. he's protective.

if you cross that line....its well...bad.

i wish everybody was like that, you know where you stand!

danny once told me a story that happenned in his life that changed mine.

it really moved me.

it was about a guy who was picked on in school and danny saved him then something happenned years later that will blow your mind if he'll tell it for you.

i've told some people the story but i think it would be more appropriate if he told it to you and he might if you go on his forum and ask him.

anyway the thing we should understand is how important danny is for our art.... he has saved us alot of time and money, by giving his own.

danny believes in our tradition. you can tell by his actions.

he's different than alot of other guys in the industry part of magic, for danny its about the art not about danny.

thanks danny

really thanks.


and now can i have that $20 dollars you owe me?

Here’s some footage of him workin indoors;
