Up next was Big Daddy Cool (John B. Pyka). His combination of magic, singing, dancing and theater were Vegas material. He is the author of two books on magic, Theatrical Magic (Leaping Lizards, publisher) and How to Produce Your Own Theater Show (Lybrary.com). He is also the creator of The Magic Cabaret, Opry Mills Olde Time Family Theater (featuring The Radio City Rockettes), The Opry Mills Holiday Family Theater, and Music City Magic.
He has played many characters in theater productions like the Cowardly Lion, Jud Fry, Rooster Hannigan, Buffalo Bill and Mr. Bumble.
As Big Daddy Cool on Saturday night, he was accompanied by the Swing Kittens—Mitzi Lamoor, Cherry deVille, Honey Love and The Incomparable Ginger Lee. These showgirls danced their way into the delighted eyes of the audience and participated in some incredible magic tricks.
For instance, Mitzi Lamoor, who has worked with Big Daddy Cool for the past four years as his assistant, performed an escape from ropes like one made famous by Harry Houdini—except she removed her skimpy attire first! When the curtain that concealed her was removed, she was seen wearing a full-length black dress, much to the disappointment of some male members of the audience.
Big Daddy Cool, who had just finished a 10-day run in Printer’s Alley at Nashville Dinner Theater, amazed onlookers with a scenario featuring a man and woman from the audience. He showed a lemon that he placed in a velvet bag, first handing it to the woman. When he learned that she was holding the money, he transferred the bag to her husband on the other side of the stage. Taking her $20.00 and having her write her name on the front of it, he folded it into a tiny rectangle. Big Daddy then bragged that he could prevent its burning up as he passed a lighter over it; he failed and the money vanished into ashes. He took the velvet bag from the man and cut open the lemon with its juice dripping throughout the procedure. In the center of the lemon was the folded $20.00 bill.
Music, dancing, mystery, comedy, food, drink, and fun for a mere $30.00 donation–what more could you ask for?
