417 banner 4.jpg

In this podcast, Greg is laid back and steers away from controversy as we talk about his recent heart attack, his current lecture tour, conventions, and some of his creative ideas.

Time stamps for this podcast:

00:04:12 - Gregory Wilson and Scott have a nice chat about Greg's current state of his health, his lecture tour, performing/lecturing at conventions, his upcoming schedule abroad, and more. Of course we have to see if there is any update on the controversy from two years ago when he was accused of "taking" the ideas of others.

01:03:40 - Product Review: "The Zodiac" by Eduardo Kozuch, German Dubat and Michel from Michel & Greco Magic Prods. A small booklet that can be easily carried and perform a variety of astrological predictions (zodiac signs, birth dates, playing cards, etc.). A useful tool but requires too much memory work to make it practical unless you frequently use it.

01:12:32 - "Gerti Reborn" by Romanos from Magic Tao. A prop that allows you to correctly devine the location of a coin in a volunteer's hand. Recommended.

416: Magic In The Big Apple

416 banner.jpg

In this podcast, we enjoy a chat about some of New York City's (NYC) rich heritage of magic with David "Silly Billy" Kaye, Herb Scher, and Richard Cohn. Richard Cohn is a scholar on Coney Island and on magic in NYC in general. He tells us about the history of some of the old local magic shops (like Tannen's, Martinka's, Holden's and others) plus stories about Al Flosso in Coney Island, Houdini, magic on Broadway, and "magic" things to do and see in the City today. If you plan to visit "The Big Apple" and looking to find a little magic, then I recommend you check out Herb's website for magical things to do, see and enjoy. Click Here to visit Herb's "Magic in New York Blog" for more information.

Herb Scher and David Kaye are involved with producing this year's 109th annual "Salute to Magic" which is open to the public and happens this Saturday night, April 14, 2018 at 7:30 at Fashion Institute of Technology’s Haft Theatre ( 227 West 27th Street, between 7th and 8th Avenue) This is sponsored by the S.A.M. Parent Assembly #1 which is one of the nation's oldest and longest running annual magic shows.
