Mr.E later went on to work a 1-year contract as a Laser Science Teacher/Emcee for a laser light edutainment company called Prismatic Magic. There he went on to tour the East Coast performing fun educational laser concerts for the youth in school assembly/auditorium settings. He put on shows in 7 different states & over 100 shows that year. E put down the lasers but learned to refocus his light along the way.
