I learned so much more about my friend. I was
truly astounded and have the utmost admira-
tion and respect for his accomplishments, on
land and sea in the world of magic and comedy.
When I abandoned ship Craig continued to per-
form, learning from the best, adding stand up
comedy, ultimately becoming one of the most
sought after entertainers in the cruise industry.
I’m going to let you in on a secret. If Craig sees
an act he believes has potential, then one phone
call can get that person working all over the
world. Craig is that well respected by folks who
are in the position to hire acts.
Of course with this new page the world has
turned, everyone is affected, even Craig. Howev-
er, the lessons he will teach you about staying in
show business, the hints he will drop within the
following pages will be invaluable on your quest
to move forward … when the floodgates open.
I am very proud and humbled to introduce to
our VANISH readers … Craig Diamond.
