093: 2013 F.F.F.F. Day One
Day one from Buffalo, New York...well, actually, Batavia, which is just a short drive from Buffalo. After a pleasant flight from Houston through Chicago where I met up with Don Wiberg, we were picked up at the airport by Mike Seege. I ran into Dan Garrett who had set up his dealer table and had time to chat with me about his latest incarnation of a character, Doctor Conundrum. You can learn more about him on his Facebook page at http://Facebook.com/DrConundrumsCabaretOfMiracles/
At dinner at Alex's Restaurant Don and I were joined by Steve Friedberg, Bruce Kalver, Pattrick Przysiecki, and Gary Hughes.

092: My Morning with Murray - Part Two
After a short break in our convesation which gave us time to take a comfort break and refresh our drinks, Murray Hatfield and I returned to the Golden T.M.W. Microphone to resume our discussion. The bulk of this second and final part of our chat focused on the current state of the brick-and-mortar magic shop business and it's future.
Seven years ago Murray purchased the magic shop from Tony Eng in Vancouver, British Columbia. He changed its name from Tony's Trick and Joke Shop to (guess what?) Murray's Trick and Joke Shop. It is strategically located in a high traffic, tourist area of Vancouver; however, with the advent of more people finding magic on the internet, he may soon have to close its doors. He has some definite opinions on what's going on with all brick-and-mortar shops regardless of whether they are located in the U.S. or Canada or any other country.
