066: Midwest Magic Jubilee Day 3 Podcast

St. Charles, Missouri (a suburb of St Louis) is the headquarters for the International Brotherhood of Magicians. This final day podcast began with a conversation with the I.B.M. office secretary, Sindie Richison, and Past International President (P.I.P.), Mike Stratman who is also the I.B.M. Convention Co-Chairman. Don Wiberg, another P.I.P. as well as serving as the International Secretary, joined us for a conversation on what's happening at the Headquarters and with the 2013 convention in Phoenix.

Losander closed the Saturday evening gala show then chatted with us at his dealer booth about his show, creating new levitation effects and how to add music to your act. And to conclude the podcast and wrap up the convention, we finished with a chat with Terry Richison.

038: Winter Carnival 2011 - Another "Nearly Lost Episode" in Pigeon Forge, TN

This hour and a half podcast covers all three days of the convention including chats with Tom Ladshaw, Steve Beam, Mike Stratman, Duane Laflin, Doc Eason, Bob Little, Kozmo, Tom Vorjahan, Steve Gronowski, JC Doty, Dan Harlan, Daniel Herron, John Hopper, Steven Bargatze and of course, Banachek. There is a lot of interesting material in here and some rather revealing and candid conversations that go well beyond the convention.

But whether or not you attended the Winter Carnival and want to relive some of the moments or to hear some of the sounds you may have missed, then please listen to this podcast. I think you'll enjoy it and might even learn a little something along the way.

025: I.B.M. Day Three - A "Nearly Lost Episode" from Dallas, TX

Day Three opens in the morning with a chat with local Dallas magician, Mica Calfee, who gives us his perspective of this convention as a first-time attendee. While walking through the Dealers' Room we stop to talk with an old mate, Simon Lovell. We discuss the quality of the shows and some of the performers and critique their performances. He also gives a rundown of the John Calvert Tribute at the recent Fantasma Convention in New York City.

During the Merlin Breakfast (for I.B.M. members and spouses who have had 25 years or more of consecutive membership) we sit down with Past I.B.M. President, Obie O'Brien and Logistics Chairman, Tom Vorjahan. We talk about the last evening's dinner show, some of the Big Four activities and the preparations for the "black box" theatres for the intimate close-up shows.

Past I.B.M. President, Don Wiberg, hosted the evening's dinner show as he introduced the I.B.M. officers and their spouses. Then he introduced Oscar Munoz who was the emcee for the after dinner show.
