484: David Hira - That's All Folks

484 banner.jpg

David Hira is calling it quits. He has taken a long, hard look at his life and decided that now is the best time to retire from actively performing regular magic shows. This week’s podcast is a fascinating look not into the career of a successful performer (if you want to hear that, then listen Click Here to hear that podcast), but rather the reasons why he feels he is ready to retire from performing. If you are one of those “older” magicians who wonders when it is time to hang up the proverbial cape, then you will find some great advice in this podcast.

www.davidhira.com This is a video of clips from several of my magic shows, including excerpts from my Comedy Magic Hour! The end of the video features a list of my many satisfied clients!

483: Eric Stevens - Perspective

483 banner.jpg

Eric Stevens is a young, up-and-coming, creative magician who talks about the trials and tribulations of a nationwide lecture tour. He also talks about some of the points he teaches in his lecture including the importance of the “countdown” to focus on the “magic moment”, how he views magic and presenting it to an audience, his creative “muse” and how he creates desired effects, looking at tricks as mysteries rather than puzzles, and more. It is a unique view and a perspective from a young magician who is clearly wise beyond his years and thinks deeply about magic.
