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.

053: David Stone - Trust Yourself

David Stone joined me for a chat about life, magic and movies. Enjoy this emotional roller coaster ride from his performances in the restaurants of St. Topez to being the Guest of Honor at the 2012 F.F.F.F. (Fechter's Finger Flicking Frolic). David exposed his soul in this in-depth interview as we enjoyed a few glasses of Dalmore Scotch late into the wee hours of the morning in Houston. He talked about his notoriety in France and Asia, how he got there plus an insightful look at his mentors, friends and inspirational role models. David gave this interview near the end of his triumphant 20+ city lecture tour of the U.S. and just before his return to France. Aside from being a wonderful magician, he is an inspiration, a gentleman, and quite charismatic. Warning: some language is R rated.
