A Sneaky Pete Magic Set for Christmas, a book about Houdini, and telling funny stories about his pet parakeet started Lovell's performing career in grade school.  After graduating from high school, Lovell left for a life on a ship and four years in the U.S. Navy.  He served in Vietnam and did two world tours aboard the admiral's flag ship.  He received many honors some of which included the Gallantry Cross and the Navy Good Conduct Medal.  Then he came home and pursued college under the GI bill, receiving a Bachelors degree.  He became a teacher and taught the arts.  But a certain love he had since childhood brought him to this next career.  One that meant entertaining and a life of many doors opening.

You heard the saying, "Throw your hat in the ring".  Today we know that line for politicians as they make their decisions for running for public office but, for Lovell Buchanan, it has meant the beginning of a lifetime of fun, creativity, being on stage in front of many audiences and a challenge far beyond his imagination.  He made inaugural magic by being invited twice to perform at Governor Ridge's Inauguration.  He was also selected to perform for President Bush at the Easter Egg Roll on the White House lawn.  He marched off for the past several years to win top awards in the comic division at the annual Mummers Parade in Philadelphia.  His clown image is on a goose egg at The Clown Hall of Fame.  His magic sculpture It's Magic is on display at The Magicians Hall of Fame, and several of his puzzles are on display world wide at the Ripley's Believe It or Not!  museums.  Lovell is an accomplished magician, juggler, clown and puppeteer.  He is recognized internationally and is included in Marquis Who's Who in Entertainment.  Life does not stand still for Buchanan as one act is completed his mind goes into inventing the next act.  His skits and vision are all in his mind.

His comedy act takes him around the country doing some 200+ shows a year.  His love goes far beyond his comedy acts as his second love is collecting memorabilia of the more famous comedy acts.  Characters like Charlie Chaplin, Emmet Kelly, Red Skelton, Lucille Ball, Abbott and Costello, to name only a few, bring joy and inspiration to Buchanan.

His performances are unique and different and seen with a vision.  Lovell is quiet and reserved until he dresses for the occasion and gets into his character.  Then he begins his act with such enthusiasm, as the time he juggles an eight ball, a golf ball, and a bowling ball, and includes tricks that really stink with his pet skunk and adds jokes that might just be a little hokey.  His acts of Funfoolery, Whistling Willie, Big Shot, Chef Percy Produce and Professor Catchup to name a few bring laughter to those around him.  In his words, "It brings me great honor to make people laugh and that I can lighten their daily burdens and for a moment bring joy into their life.  Laughter is a cure-all for everything we do in life", said Lovell Buchanan.
