558: Darryl Rose - All Done With Kindness

558 banner.jpg

Darryl Rose is one of the Council members of The Magic Circle (TMC). This week we talk about TMC, some of its history and about magic in the U.K. I had planned to chat with Darryl at this year’s F.F.F.F. convention where he has occasionally acted as emcee of the “Great Britain Show”. But since the convention was canceled for this year, we had to chat via Skype. This week we chat about magicians creating new material, new apps, new content and new ideas in this digital age. Darryl also talks about being a part-time professional performer while maintaining a full-time career in television where he has been awarded an Emmy! One of the interesting things we chat about is being on the other side of a “pitch” meeting for television He tells us the importance of getting your image on social media and on television, when possible. We talk about entertainment and magic in the U.K. and the differences between there and in the U.S. plus performing at weddings. And as an aside, we chat briefly on a health update on Simon Lovell.

108: MAGIC Live! 2013 - Day 3

day 3 logo.jpg

Day three was another fun and exciting day that began with the Opening Session hosted by Justin Flom  A highlight of the show was Xavier Mortimer's incredibly innovative routines. He is currently featured in the Cirque du Soliel show here in Vegas, "Michael Jackson One".. But it was Wayne Dobson being interviewed by Jeff McBride which received a standing ovation.

00:00:07 – Tom Vorjahan, Daniel Herron and Eddie Wade give a recap of the Documentary Live 1 show from last night that featured the Long Beach Mystics hosted by Stan Allen and Mike Caveney. It featured David Deeble, Victor and Diamond, Michael Weber, Dana Daniels, Mark Kalin and Jinger, Armando Lucera, Kevin James, and James Hamilton (as Alexander Hamilton).

00:08:33 – I give a short review of the General Session that was hosted by Justin Flom and featured Master Payne, Bill Abbott, Xavier Mortimer, and Wayne Dobson being interviewed by Jeff McBride.

00:13:00 – I chatted with random people dining at the In ‘N Out and how much they enjoy this place. It is one of my regular, mandatory places to dine while in Las Vegas.

00:15:02 – Simon Coronel talks about creativity and how he developed his routine.

00:26:00 – Photo time with Criss Angel

00:26:50 – David Hira talks about this convention and conventions in general and their appeal to different age groups.

00:34:45 – Scott Hunstler was one of the winners on the Sunday night Welcome Party. He talks about what he won. Mark Weidhaas, S.A.M. Past President, and Errol Lipschitz, from Vancouver, talks about their experience of this convention.

00:39:56 – We viewed the documentary about Ricky Jay’s life, Deceptive Practices. Here I get to talk with a few people who know Ricky and have a perspective and opinion on the movie. It isn’t anything like Siskell & Ebert, but I think you will enjoy this discussion by Peter Samelson, Tim Felix and Jon Stetson.
