I got to sit and have lunch with Lance during the World Magic Seminar.  Like many other young magicians, Lance is the one who inspired me to explore a career in magic.  He is one of my first heroes in magic.

The burgundy book I am holding in the pic is Lance's manuscript which he calls Advice: An Honest Conversation about Starting A Career in Magic.  He gave this manuscript to me during his Teen Luncheon.  I highly respect and admire the ideals and experiences outlined in this book.
