I use AI as a behind-the-scenes assistant when I’m working on my website. It doesn’t replace my voice or ideas—it helps with the details that are easy to miss but make a big difference in how a site looks, feels, and performs.
Smarter Images and Alt Text
AI helps me write clear, accurate alt text so images actually mean something—to screen readers and to Google. Instead of generic descriptions, the alt text matches what’s happening on the page without feeling forced or spammy.
It also helps me decide when an image adds value and when it doesn’t. Not every section needs a picture, and using images intentionally keeps pages clean and easy to read.
Clean Structure Without the Headache
AI is great at helping with the technical stuff—clean HTML, proper headings, and consistent spacing. That means:
No messy layouts
No duplicate titles
No guessing whether Google understands the page
Everything stays organized and readable, which helps both visitors and search engines.
Many of these best practices align closely with guidance from Google Search Central, which emphasizes using images and alt text to improve accessibility, clarity, and search visibility.
Small Tweaks That Add Up
Things like spacing, alignment, and image placement don’t seem like a big deal—until they’re off. AI helps fine-tune those small details so the site feels polished and professional instead of cluttered or unfinished.
SEO Without Overthinking It
I don’t use AI to “game” Google. I use it to follow best practices—using images correctly, avoiding repeated keywords, and keeping content focused. The end result is a site that works better for people and search engines.
A Helpful Second Set of Eyes
Maybe the best part is having a second set of eyes. AI catches things I overlook and helps me move faster with more confidence.
Bottom line: AI doesn’t build my website for me—it helps me build it better, so I can focus on the message instead of getting stuck in the weeds.

Have you ever heard, “The hand is quicker than the eye?” Well, this “myth” was most likely started by a magician for “misdirection.” Which is another term that is misunderstood by laymen, and many magicians as well.
Some magicians still promote their skills with hype such as, “The fastest hands in magic.” Good and great magicians will fool you because everything they do appears natural. Speed plays no part.
The late, Rene Lavand was famous for a trick he called, “It can't be done any slower.” Although, magicians generally don’t challenge their audience... repeating a trick will get your audience to pay closer attention to “catch you.”
Renee would repeat the same trick several times. Each time performing the trick slower, emphasizing the fairness of every motion. There was nothing to see, just “magic.” BTW, Renee performed with only one hand. He lost his right hand in a car accident at nine years old.
BTW, repeating a trick or challenging an audience to “catch you” breaks proper magicians' conduct. As a seasoned performer you know when and how you may ignore the gospel.
You must be a great magician if you can fool an engineer
Sounds like another “magician’s myth.” One might assume that the more intelligent a person is, the less likely they are to be deceived by a magician’s tricks.
However, we’ve all had a lifetime of learning/understanding how the world works. We are conditioned mentally, especially through vision and sound, of what is real. Our brain fills in gaps based on experience and expectation. These are core beliefs that are no different if you are a rocket scientist or a janitor. (I was a janitor who studied magic. Go figure?)
In one of the tricks I perform, I explain how when we focus on a small detail, we miss the bigger picture. On the other hand, when we look at the bigger picture, we are missing the details. We simply can’t do both at the same time. “Multitasking another myth.
Sleight of Hand
(the following is AI generated)
AI“Hours of practice go into mastering the subtle movements that deceive the eye and the mind. These moves are executed with such precision and naturalness that even attentive viewers, including those with high IQs or scientific backgrounds, are deceived. There is simply nothing to see. AI
While it is true that unimaginable hours of practice are required, no one will be looking with scrutiny when a “move” occurs. ‘There is simply nothing to see.” Trust me, I know more than AI
As a magician, you will know when you reach this level when spectators will tell you they were watching but didn’t see anything.
To Fool or not to fool
OK, let’s get this out of the way...there are two dirty words I’ve been using. It’s time to address them. They are “fool” and “tricks.” As magicians, we use these terms with other magicians to discuss our craft. But who really feels good about being fooled or tricked?
Many magicians refer to themselves as “illusionists.” Think in your mind's eye of both. When you picture a magician, you most likely envision a man in a top hat holding a rabbit. I’m not sure what you imagine when you think of an illusionist...but it’s likely more dignified than a man in a tuxedo with a bunny.
Who cannot be fooled?
As humans, we have an innate curiosity to understand our world. Of course, this is not an easy task if we are truly sincere in our search. There are those who “need to know” and often the shortest route is to invent solutions that quickly satisfy our ego.
True Story:
I was once performing for an individual who told me that she was very smart and proceeded to tell me how I performed my “illusion.” (See what I did...?)
Her explanation couldn’t have been more wrong, but I didn’t tell her she was wrong. I merely praised her intellect and moved on to other people waiting for a little magic.
Why didn’t I tell her she was wrong? Simple, I had nothing to gain by proving her wrong. She had missed the opportunity for a “nice feeling.” At this point, I couldn’t deliver that. You cannot fool someone who “knows the secret”, so don’t beat yourself up.
The Simple Truth
Any audience that comes to “play the game” or “dance the dance” will be delighted to interact with a good or great magician. The laughter comes naturally as they enjoy the surprises. (The surprise is the “fooling” part...it’s fun!)
"I booked Joe for my fiancé’s birthday; and he was fantastic!!!"
Adult Birthday Magician Massachusetts
“The best” is a matter of opinion. But what really matters is the impact your guests feel. I want every person at your event to be surprised, amazed, and delighted. And they will be. Prospective clients are introduced to my performances through my YouTube videos. There’s no magic to be seen in the videos. What they will see is how past audiences have enjoyed the “magic.” They will see wide smiles, gasps, laughter, screams…these are real reactions, and they sell the entertainment. Many clients have said the videos were the reason they chose The Magic of Joe Ferranti. Seeing those reactions helped them feel confident they were hiring the right entertainer.
Parlor Show vs Strolling/Walk Around Magic
Lately, most of my adult birthday shows have featured my parlor magic. These are perfect for home parties with 10 to 20 guests. It’s an intimate and fun experience where everyone gets a front-row seat.
If the party is larger—say, 100 guests or more—it’s usually a strolling or walk-around show. These are great for cocktail-style events. I move from group to group, sharing close-up magic that fits the flow of the evening.
No matter the size of the event, every birthday show includes one special moment:
I perform a custom “Birthday Card Trick” just for the guest of honor. It’s a personal touch—and it sets the tone for what’s to come.
ChatGPT’s opinion may not be correct (most likely not.)

Artificial Intelligence
I saw Lewis Black (comedian) on his farewell tour last September. To paraphrase…“I hope they do a better job with artificial intelligence than they did with artificial sweeteners.”
