Omega Downloader 2020 Software Bug Fixed!

Good news for users of End of Day Supercharts and Tradestation users who use the old omega downloader software to download end of day stock data from dialdata. A professional computer programmer has fixed the 2020 bug and the downloader software is working perfectly again.

As you may know, the omega downloader suddenly and unexpectedly stopped working on December 31, 2019, leaving us unable to download our end of day stock data. I could not accept this so I hired a professional programmer to see if he could fix the bug in the downloader. He was able to find and permanently fix the bug in the downloader’s software. There is no 2020 bug in the supercharts and tradestation programs by the way.

I have been successfully using the fixed downloader program for two weeks now to download my end of day stock data from dialdata once again. What a relief it was to have the program working again. I could not accept giving up the use of my supercharts and tradestsation 4.0 systems that I had programmed and used over the years.

If any of my fellow users of this software would like to have their omega downloader fixed, please email me at JamesinLA@aol.com. The fix is only two small files that go into the Omega/Prog folder.

I told dialdata about the software being fixed but they have refused to inform my fellow users of this fact. I am posting this here as a blog in case you are still searching for a fix to the bug in the software.

Please email me if you are interested in the fixed software. Thank you. Jim

Most Amazing Birthday Party by Loving Parents

As a professional birthday magician, every weekend I see how much parents love their children as reflected by the huge effort they put into producing amazing birthday parties for their little ones.  These lucky children are being shown, not told, how much their parents love them.

If you want to know how you can put on the most amazing, over the top birthday parties with little cost for your child, read to the end to find Jersey Jim’s inexpensive secrets for sending your child’s birthday joy into orbit.

Hosting any birthday party is a big job but there are some parents who go above and beyond.   These parents aren’t only the wealthiest ones who might hire big halls or multiple entertainers.  Many of these parents are the ones who do most of the heavy lifting themselves in order to make their child’s dream party a reality.

One family went so far as to built a huge archway entrance to their child’s Micky Mouse-theme party!

There have been a number of amazing Harry Potter Parties where parents have recreated Hogwarts in their own backyards.

Recently, however, I performed at a birthday party that was the most elaborate I have ever seen. It had to be seen to be believed and it “took the cake” as the most incredible birthday party I have ever attended. The entire backyard was themed as a WIlly Wonka birthday for a very lucky little boy.

There was a giant Wonka Vision TV for taking pictures. Here I am with the birthday mom who is perfectly dressed as Willy Wonka herself.

There was even a real live Oompa Loompa there!

Most of the guests also got into the swing with amazing Willy Wonka outfits.

The backyard was filled with many set pieces from the Willy Wonka film, including the grandparent’s poster bed in the backyard, a giant nice-or-naughty chair, Wonka themed Pinata, and Billy’s Candy Shop, where guests got Golden Tickets along with their candy.

Most of the parents were inspired and came in Wonka costumes also.

After my magic show, I never wanted to leave! And to finish things off, the most amazing Willy Wonka hat birthday cake and goody bags.

How could these parents have all done this you ask? It certainly helped that mom was a professional art director from the movie industry! However, all parents are able to achieve the same special birthday parties for their children as well, and here is how:

Jersey Jim, a nationally-known children’s magician, has compiled 25, inexpensive, do-it-yourself ways to make your child’s birthday party the most special ever!

RAINY DAY BIRTHDAY PARTIES

You have planned for your child’s outdoor birthday party for weeks, and then, a few days before the party, the weatherman says it is likely to rain on your child’s special day!  What do you? 

Keep calm!  There are ways to cope with rain and still have a great party.

Number One: Have a Plan

If the party was going to be at a park, rent or buy some tents to hold the party under.  You can rent tents of many sizes from party stores. They are also inexpensive to buy from many sporting good stores, typically in a 10 by 10 foot size.  If it doesn’t rain after all, the tents will give you welcomed shade for everyone to enjoy and keep the birthday cake from melting in the sun.

Jersey Jim has done many very successful comedy magic shows under tents in the pouring rain.  While it certainly requires some extra effort to stage shows under these conditions, in Jersey Jim’s professional experience as the most entertaining family magician in Los Angeles, it also adds an element of excitement to the show and party.  Everyone feels like “we’re in this together and we’re making it happen for the birthday child no matter what.”

If the outside party was planned at your home, of course, the easiest thing to do would be to move the party and the Jersey Jim’s Birthday magic show inside the house.  Did you know that there are some birthday magicians who will not even perform magic shows outside?  Jersey Jim’s has designed his birthday magic shows to be performed either inside or outside. 

Jersey Jim About to Levitate Birthday Child In Living Room

What if you feel you don’t have room for the magic show inside your home?  Jersey Jim has performed his birthday magic shows in very small apartments.  Perhaps Jim’s largest, Floating Child Extravagance floating child birthday magic show, requires a larger room, however Jim has many other birthday magic show packages that can be performed in very tight spaces.

But what if you don’t want your nice clean home to be trampled by 25 screaming kids and parents?  That was the whole reason you planned the party to be held outside!  In that case, another option is to clear out the garage.  The garage is a great place to stage the birthday party in case of rain.  Jersey Jim has performed many hilarious birthday magic shows in garages on rainy days.  Many parents choose to hold the magic show in their garages whether it’s raining or not.

If neither of these options work, you could choose to employ tents as we talked about earlier and use the cover of tents to still hold your party in the backyard.  Jersey Jim has seen many parties conducted this way.  Sometimes the tents are as big as the backyard itself!  But the smaller, 10 by 10 foot tents,  also work fine in this situation depending on how many guests you have.  Covered patios are also another option to keep everyone out of the rain.  By the way, tents are also a good idea to protect guests from blinding afternoon sun as well, which can also put a damper on the party fun.

Another thought, there’s nothing wrong with getting wet!  The rain could be a fun part of the party if you choose to incorporate it.

Jersey Jim has very personal experience with rain and birthday parties and not just as the best birthday magician in the world.  Jersey Jim is a loving parent also.  Jim’s son’s birthday is in March, a very rainy month, and he has dealt with rain at his son’s birthday party for many years.

Number Two

Reassure the birthday child that their party is still going to happen whether it rains or not!  Children are better able to accept things if they are not surprised.  Let your child know in advance that there might be rain on their party day and that it will be okay even if it does rain.  Tell them about the rain plan, and they will feel empowered by knowing what to expect.  This could actually be a good life lesson about how we all need to be flexible in life.  When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade.

Number Three

Make sure your invitations say that the party will happen “Rain Or Shine.”  You don’t want no one to show up because they assume the rain means that your child’s birthday party must be canceled!  What could be worse than no friends showing up for your child’s birthday party?!

I put “Rain or Shine” on all my son’s birthday invitations, but there was still one friend who did not show up because, the father later told me, he thought the party must have been canceled because of the rain.  He obviously did not read the invitation, but the good news is that everyone else did read the invitation, and all but one of my son’s friends showed up for his party.

Jersey Jim is a the funniest and friendliest birthday magician and his birthday magic shows are the most entertaining in the entire world. Jersey Jim was chosen by Universal Studios to be the birthday magician in the film “Couples Retreat.” Please call or email for dates to bring Jersey Jim Comedy Magician to your child’s birthday party. It will be a show that everyone will remember for years and years.

Magician’s Live Bunny Rabbit

“Are you going to pull a rabbit out of your hat?!” How many times have magicians heard this question? Lots of times!

Rocky the Rabbit appears!

Making a live rabbit appear from the magician’s top hat is one of the most classic and expected tricks in magic. Pulling a rabbit out of an empty hat was first performed by Magician Louis Comte in 1814.

By the way, making a rabbit or anything else “appear” from nothing is known by magicians as a “Production.” We say the magician “produced” the rabbit. A “production” is one of the main magical effects we do along with a “vanish” (making something disappear) or a “restoration” (tearing or cutting something and putting it magically back together), and a “levitation” (making something or someone float in the air). Jersey Jim’s shows include all of these effects.

Now, getting back to live bunny rabbits. Not every magician has a live bunny rabbit as part of their shows these days. But making a live bunny rabbit appear is a sure crowd pleaser. Perhaps no other trick gets the gasps of wonder as seeing a sweet, soft, adorable bunny rabbit suddenly appear out of thin air. And of course, nothing makes kids happier than a chance to meet and pet Jersey Jim’s live bunny rabbit after the show.

Kids Love Rocky the Rabbit

Jersey Jim’s live bunny rabbit is named “Rocky the Rabbit.” Rocky appears to the strains of the theme music from the movie “Rocky.” Rocky the rabbit is the softest bunny you and your children will ever pet. “He’s softer than a cloud!” I have heard kids exclaim. And it’s true. Rocky is as soft as a mink. This is because his breed of rabbit–a Mini Rex–actually were originally bred to make coats out of sadly.

Rocky the magic Rabbit and a friend

Magicians have used rabbits in their shows for hundreds of years because rabbits are the perfect assistants for a magic show. This is because of their traits and personalities. Rabbits like to hide in small, dark spaces. They are completely happy when they are hiding, so you can see why this makes them a good match for becoming magical assistants.

Jersey Jim’s magic bunny, Rocky the Rabbit, also has other traits that make him perfect for Jersey Jim’s comedy magic shows. Rocky is totally calm and he loves being petted by all the children. “Rocky knows he is the star of the show and he loves all the attention,” Jersey Jim says.

When he is not performing magic show, Rocky the Rabbit is Jersey Jim’s much loved pet. “He lives inside with my me and my son, who loves him.” Rocky loves to hop around and his favorite food is lettuce. (He doesn’t like carrots!)

FunTastic School Fundraiser Magic Show

Jersey Jim is bringing his FunTastic Family Magic Show Fundraising program to Mar Vista Elementary School on Friday, November 20, 2015.  There will be two shows at 5 pm and again at 7 pm.

What prompted such a large event? School officials claimed they were looking for “something different” for their fundraising efforts. “Unlike traditional fundraising methods, Jersey Jim’s program offered a fun alternative for our children and parents alike.”

“We don’t feel that we’re asking the student body, their parents, or the community for a donation,” one school official said. “We feel we’re giving them something of real value: a FUN evening of laughter and entertainment. It’s going to give everyone who attends an opportunity to enjoy themselves with their families as well as feel good about themselves, knowing that their proceeds will be going toward much-needed school funding. It’s a win-win for everyone.”

 

What can attendees expect? The FunTastic Family magic show is the same show that Jersey Jim performs at professional theaters. It features 90 minutes of unique entertainment complete with music, beautiful props, and Jim’s hilarious blend of comedy, audience participation, and grand illusion, including sawing art teacher Mr. Miceli in half with a power buzz saw! Jim is quick to reassure that all ages will be laughing at this comedy routine.

Another amazing moment includes causing an audience member to float in the air!   Jim will be selecting a child from the audience and will even pass a hoop around them to prove they are floating!

Parents often ask how long the kids stay up there. Jim always says, “Long enough for a dinner and movie.”

Jersey Jim appeared in the film, “Couples Retreat.” “It was an honor being picked by Vince Vaughn from all the other magicians in Los Angeles,” Jim said.

Every child who attends will also receive a free magic gift and be able to pet the magician’s appearing rabbit after the show.

Of his Family Comedy Magic Show,” Jim says, “I have the best seat in the house because I get to see all of the kids’ faces as they smile in amazement and laugh hysterically. It’s designed with the entire family in mind and the parents always have as much fun, if not more, than their children!”

Tickets for the event are $10 & $8 in advance and $12 & $10 at the door. Tickets will be available the evening of the event as space allows. For more information,

How Much We Love Our Children

As a professional children’s entertainer I get to see to what extraordinary lengths mothers and fathers go to in order to make their children feel special about themselves by hosting wonderful birthday parties for their little ones.

Putting on any birthday party is a wonderful gift and a huge job for any parent to give to their child.  However, there are some parents that set the bar really high.  I recently entertained for a lucky little boy whose parents put together an amazing Harry Potter-themed birthday party.  They had changed their backyard into the dining hall at Hogwarts with a great deal of ingenuity and work all of which was fueled by their delight at knowing how much their son would enjoy it.

They had made floating candles out of battery powered candles which were glued onto toilet paper rolls, which were painted white.  They even used hot glue to make wax dripping down the sides of the candle and fishing line made the candles float!  The dad even got dry ice so that the cauldrons would boil and bubble.

 

Jersey Jim’s Easter Magic Show and his Live Bunny

Easter is a wonderful holiday.  Spring is just around the corner, nature is renewing itself, and, of course, the religious significance of the holiday is at the forefront.

Around the Easter Holiday, nothing delights the young ones more than Jersey Jim’s fun and frolicking Easter Magic show.   And what would Easter and a magic show be without a live bunny Rabbit!

Every child loves petting Jersey Jim’s sweet bunny rabbit, who’s name is Rocky the Rabbit.  Rocky is the softest bunny rabbit you will ever pet.  He feels like a mink coat.

Kids Love Rocky the Rabbit

The kids can hardly contain themselves as they wait in line to pet the bunny.  Just look at those joyful faces!

Jersey Jim and the Easter Bunny

Jersey Jim loves performing  his Easter Magic Show as much as the kids love seeing it!  Next Easter, give Jim a call and bring even more Easter joy to young and old alike with the Jersey Jim Easter Magic Show.

Preschools Love Jersey Jim’s Magic Shows

“I have never seen kids laugh so hard from their full heart!” said the preschool owner of Delaney Fine Arts Preschool.

“Jim has an an amazing connection with the kids.  That is why we use him year after year,” said another preschool owner.

Jersey Jim provides preschools with worry-free hours of entertainment for their children and parents.  Yes, many preschools encourage parents to attend Jim’s shows because they have just as much fun as their children do.

Jersey Jim’s preschool magic shows are also a wonderful photo opportunity for parents to take unforgettable photographs of their children performing magic in front of their classmates.  You should see the look of indescribable joy on their proud faces  of the kids when they all get to make Jersey Jim’s Magic Bunny rabbit appear.

And, of course, they all get to pet Rocky the Rabbit, who is the softest bunny rabbit in t he world.  “He’s softer than a cloud!” one little girl proclaimed one day.

Jersey Jim’s programs are so successful at Preschools because he understands the children at this tender age.  “Kids just don’t want to sit and watch magic,” Jim explains.  “They want to be involved!”  Accordingly, Jim creates his all original magic routines so that every 5 to 7 seconds, the children are involved.

But that’s only half of Jersey Jim’s secret.   The real secret that makes Jersey Jim the most successful preschool magician, is the special way that Jim’s involves the children.  He involves them in a way that Jim calls “Empowering” the children.

Jim explains, “Kids live in a world where the adults have all the power over them, so if you can give children a sense of power over an adult–and of course I am the object of that kid power–then it is a very joyful and positive experience for the children.  And sometimes it’s the first time they’ve ever felt that way.”

That is why the kids never want Jersey Jim’s magic shows to end and they never want him to leave, and they can’t wait until he comes back again!

Jim also offers many themed preschool magic shows for different holidays throughout the year.  Jersey Jim’s weekday preschool magic shows are deeply discounted for preschools and are $110 off of his birthday magic shows.
