The Life and Times of Perley the Magician

Perley arrived into this world weighing less than two pounds. He was loved and nurtured in a small shoe box in a warming oven by night and on the window sill during the day when the sun was out. Deep in his heart and soul that love never left him, and he has done unto others what was done unto him-show love. Perley the Magician is the miracle man that we all love and the show must go on.
After being diagnosed with Stage 4 Cancer in the spring of 2014, Perley never missed a show for adults or children. This book radiates the love people feel for Perley with numerous memories and tributes intertwined with Perley's life journey. Perley lives his life as a testimony of his love for God; his wife, Valerie; family, and friends, and especially the children that he loves to make happy.
