342: Paul Romhany - VANISH-ing Monthly

Paul Romhany is the editor of VANISH Magazine, the largest digital magic magazine in the world with over 100,000 subscribers per month. Perhaps it is not only because of the outstanding content, but also because it is totally FREE! Paul is a transplanted New Zealander who is now a permanent resident of Canada.

A wonderful tribute with original music to Charlie Chaplin. Chaplin meets magic.

It's been nearly a year since I last recorded a "Meals With Magicians" episode. This week we have lunch at Boston Market with Walter "Zaney" Blaney.

159: Gladwell & Fields - Flim & Flam

gladwell fields banner.jpg

Bill Gladwell really fooled 'em. Without having an act or any performing experience as a mentalist, he boldly and successfully landed one of the most lucrative opportunities in the Great Smoky Mountains.

Bill negotiated a short term contract that led to a longer, seven year agreement headlining at the Isis Theater in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, in his own one-man show entitled, "Head Case". He recently added Keith Fields, a transplanted British street performer and comedian, in the theater as a separate show, "A Brit of Magic".

For information, location, show times and tickets, please visit: http://www.iristheater.com/

As you can imagine, there is much more to this story, and here you can hear it all on this podcast. But much more than that, we have a rather interesting discussion about developing the act, disclaimers in mentalism shows, meeting audience expectations, cultural and religious differences in audiences, working comedy clubs, street performing, adjusting your act to fit your audience, "situational" based vs "target" based on handling volunteers, and more.
