065: Midwest Magic Jubilee Day 2 Podcast

On the first full day of fun at the Midwest Magic Jubilee, I chatted with the guys who are the heartbeat of all conventions...the registration desk. I spoke with Larry Skorepa, Gerald Collins and Daniel Todd. I caught up with the President, Terry Richison, for his perspective of how things were going and some of the hurdles he had to overcome for this year's convention. During an interval in the close-up contest, I opened the microphone to get a perspective from some of the registrants. During an evening soiree, I chatted with Scott Alexander and Ferrell Dillon. Scott talked about his experience on "America's Got [sic] Talent". While were on the topic of television and "reality" shows, I then turned the wandering microphone to Andrew Martin who was featured along with his family on the network series, "Wife Swap". I think you'll enjoy these chats.

064: Midwest Magic Jubilee Day 1 - Now You See It with Scott Wells

On the opening night of this year's Midwest Magic Jubilee (MMJ), I audio  recorded "Now You See It with Scott Wells", a late night talk show that  features some of the talent from the magic conventions. This was my  fourth year with this talk show at the MMJ, always with a completely  different line-up. This year it featured Shep Hyken, Dan Garrett, Chris  Capehart and Michael Finney.

062: Abbott's Get Together Day 4 - 2012

Just before the final evening show, we got an inside wrap up the 75th Get-Together with owner and organizer, Greg Bordner. The information for next year's Get-Together is already posted at: http://magicgettogether.com/ Following the show and the awards presentation at the elementary school, the group continued the reverie in the village.

I caught up with Stan Allen who talked about this Get-Together, MAGIC Live! and the Essential Magic Conference. We recorded this chat with Stan outside the Legion Hall in hopes that it would be much quieter. Indeed it was; however, the wind picked up and there is some wind noise in this part of the podcast. Please forgive the poor quality of the recording of this chat, but I decided to leave it in because of the quality of the discussion.

Before we called it a night, I talked with Al the Only and Don Wiberg who together gave a nice wrap and overview of the entire convention. Then just before we signed off, Dana Daniels came out of the Legion Hall so we got to chat with him about him winning the Senator Clark Crandall Comedy Award for Excellence, his "No Show Show" and his future.
