464: Jonathan Levit - Never Stop Creating

Jonathan Levit has accomplished so much for his young years. I believe he qualifies for the title of “Renaissance Man” because he not only performs magic, but also is an actor on television and film plus consulting to magicians and actors, television host, website and app developer, and more. He has many revenue streams which is essential to any magician who is looking to be financially successful.

Promotional spot for the seventh season episode "The Amazing Maleeni".with Jonathan Levit and Ricky Jay.

463: Michael Campion - Fuller House

“Full House” was a popular television show in the U.S. in the 1980’s and has been recently revived on Netflix as “Fuller House” and co-stars young magician, Michael Campion. You can find a lot of information online about Michael telling you about his acting career, but in this podcast, we explore an inside look into his passion for magic. Michael loves close-up magic and hopes to incorporate his magic into some of his future acting roles.

In this podcast, Michael talks frankly about his acting career, “going to school” during his shooting schedule, the difficulties of being a young celebrity, magic on TV, current state of magic, and more. For a very special look at his stage performance of the Sub Trunk, enjoy this video on Dropbox by following this link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5v5f30gfa5i1m19/IMG_1943.mp4?dl=0

The Tanner-Fuller clan returns December 14 for a brand-new season of love, laughs, and (of course) HUGS! Come on in, the door is always open. A Netflix Original Series.
