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.

Registrants and hotel guests were all greeted with the cheerful Midwest Magic Jubilee sign in the lobby near the elevators.

Michael Finney's lecture was a "no holds barred" bare look at his life and how he became a comedy magician. He laid his soul bare and left no secrets in his closet as he opened his soul to the captive audience who literally sat at his feet.
Michael had brisk lecture sales with proceeds going towards his charities.
The registrants enjoyed the afternoon close-up contest. Some of them shared their opinion of the convention in the podcast posted elsewhere on this site.
Dan Garrett presented the premiere of his new lecture "Forward Into the Past" with a nice twist to the usual lecture formula. It was quite enjoyable with lots of close-up and stand-up treats.

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.
