It was just before Christmas when an 8-year-old Charlie Fenn saw a magician on the streets of downtown Cleveland, Ohio, demonstrating magic kits.
The magician caught his attention, and -- as most 8-year-old kids would -- Charlie wanted his very own kit. And the biggest one at that.
"Of course that was all I wanted," he said. "And I got one. Then I took some lessons from that magician and went on from there. By the time I was nine, I was doing shows."
Sixty-two years later, Charlie is still involved with magic.
He runs his own business, Dancing Spring Magic -- a professional magician supply center in Crossville that also sells tables to magicians all over the world -- and he's also heavily involved with the local chapter of the Tennessee Magic Society.
Based in Cookeville, the society includes about 22 members ranging from age 11 and up. The group meets about once a month at the Putnam County Library.
