Merlin the Magician performed and worked at Texas Renaissance Festival for over 25 years. But that is not even half the story; Bill Palmer is a lifetime resident of Houston TX, and he graduated from Rice University, -and is a well-known magician in Houston and throughout the world. Bill learned accordion from his father, a well-known musician and writer of musical books. So, as a teenager, he started Banjo and quickly astounded his teachers. He then wrote his own music book, \u201cHow To Play Folk and Bluegrass Banjo,\u201d that circulated worldwide. Did I mention, he also speaks German.
