Bruce believes that everyone has something to share and something to learn.

He knows that new entertainers, especially young performers, can often see something new and valuable based on their fresh perspective. He enjoys teaching and working with young entertainers because he is often inspired by their new ideas. Bruce also believes in continuing education. Nobody will ever know everything about a topic. In addition to studying more advanced material, experienced entertainers often need to repeat a beginning class to be reminded of important concepts they have forgotten or begun to ignore.

Bruce hated history classes when he was in school because they emphasized testing memorized names and dates in order to assign grades. After he became an entertainer he discovered that history is really interesting stories about fascinating people and a source of information. Modern entertainers can learn what their predecessors learned through trial and error without having to make the same mistakes. Creativity does not occur in a vacuum. Routines performed in the past can inspire new ideas by combining old ideas or creating new variations.

Many cultures believe that a person does not truly die as long as somebody remembers them. Bruce honors those who have come before us by sharing stories about them and lessons they have taught.

Each person is connected to many other people. Nobody accomplishes anything on their own. Bruce recognizes and pays tribute to those who have contributed to his success.

Bruce is known for his creativity. He has created most of the material that he performs. Some of it he has kept for his personal use, but he has released many of his ideas for use by others. He originated the Three Color Book Monte routine that is widely used by entertainers around the world. He also created the Ledger of Life routine that has been used by members of the Fellowship of Christian Magicians in many countries.

Norma Brendel Gibbs taught Bruce that “you are no better a teacher, or anything else, than you are a person.” Randy Pryor taught him ‘the best juggling act is performed by somebody that you want to spend time with that just happens to juggle.” He believes that in any type of ministry your actions off stage and your personal quialities are more important than the material that you perform on stage. In his writing Bruce encourages others to become the best people they can which then makes them the best possible entertainers.

Bruce has written over a thousand articles for variety arts publications.

He has written several books and many lecture not pamphlets. In addition, he publishes an internet newsletter titled The Thought of the Week about twice a month.

Bruce invites you to explore the world of variety arts and become a unique and successful entertainer.
