534: James Dimmare's Martinis and Magic

When it comes to internationally known “dove workers” in our art, one name that is always mentioned, Dimmare. James Dimmare performs an elegant act that has been widely acclaimed as unique, creative and simply brilliant. He currently resides in Las Vegas where he has a weekly show at The Mint. He recently moved from The Thunderbird with his “Martinis and Magic” show that does not feature him performing doves. Instead, James presents a comical, interactive retro-type show that involves audience participation, some silent bits, and lots of talking and even a stage illusion!

This week The Magic Word Podcast went on location to Frankie’s Tiki Room in Las Vegas where we sipped martinis and smoked cigars as we chatted about dove magic, care and handling of doves, working in Las Vegas showrooms and other international cities, and Dimmare even talked about the mob in Canada. There are a lot of interesting, entertaining and educational stories in this week’s episode.
