082: Part 5 - The End of the World/Year Podcast

We conclude this “End of the World” podcast by featuring three more magicians. You can pick up our chats at the following time marks:

00:00:00 – Eric DeCamps had success with producing his one man show, Pure Magic – A Performance of Contemporary Conjuring. In this chat, Eric talks about how he put his show together and gives advice and suggestions for those who might be interested in producing and marketing their own show. http://www.ericdecamps.com/

0:24:18 – Craig Mitchell jumped into the magic convention business with both feet and made a big splash with his immensely popular IMX conventions in Las Vegas. His next sojourn into the magic convention scene will be “adventurous” to say the least. Here we talk about magic conventions and what might be the secret of success in organizing such events. We also talk about the importance of youth to our art and his six year program in the College of Magic and how we can sponsor an underprivileged student. http://www.sponsorastudent.co.za/

00:47:02 – Paul Draper, mentalist, anthropologist and speaker, brings it all home with his research and perspective on the Mayan (or is it Aztec) calendar and the end of the world.

I want to sincerely thank each of my friends for taking the time out of their day (or night) during this busy season to chat with me for this very special podcast. Please join me by showing them your appreciation and listening to their thoughts, advice and prognostications…and visiting their websites where you can drop them a “thank you” email.

Happy Holidays to all of you from The Magic Word.

Eric DeCamps presents "Pure Magic" in Chicago

Gabe Fajuri brings Eric DeCamps to Chicago to present his one man show, "Pure Magic" for a limited engagement. Eric will perform at the Potter & Potter Auction Gallery, 3759 N. Ravenswood, Suite 121, Chicago, IL 60613. During the weekend of October 19-21, Eric will give four performances in the intimate gallery setting. Seating is limited with around 75 seats available per show. 

DeCamps' skills are unparalleled and his up-close, charming, and witty style of conjuring makes audiences an integral part of the presentation. In addition to an enviable resume entertaining Fortune 500 companies and Manhattan's elite, he has been honored by The Society of American Magicians as its Magician of the Year, and is only the second person in the Society's 110-year history to be awarded its Gold Medal of Honor for Close Up Magic.

Before and after the performances, guests can browse the artifacts on display from the Charlie Reynolds collection that will be up for auction on October 27, 2012.

Eric has presented this show in some form or fashion on other occasions including performances from Rockefeller Center to cruise ships, magic conventions and at Hollywood's prestigious Magic Castle. Below is a souvenir I received from one of his very early shows, "An Afternoon of Intimate Magic, Eric DeCamps in Concert".

A special app has been created for the iPhone for this event. By downloading this app, you can have access to all the information about "Pure Magic" including the phone number for purchasing tickets, a map with directions to the Gallery, and more. Click Here to download the free app.

You can also hear Eric talk about the evolution of this show in a podcast that is elsewhere here on The Magic Word website. If you have any interest at all in knowing what it took to develop his one man show or if you are thinking about doing one yourself, then you should not miss this podcast.
