517: Greg Gleason - Making Waves

Greg Gleason has been out to sea but now he’s back on land and making waves. Many years ago he was managing several Texas nightclubs including Houston’s Magic Island. He later moved to Las Vegas and worked for years at Caesar’s Magic Kingdom. And when he went to sea, Greg had the largest illusion show on the ocean. He still has warehouses full of illusions. Now he performs on television and theaters for the Masters of Illusion show while working to open magic-themed nightclubs in the U.S.

Magician Greg Gleason has taken his illusions to 85 countries, and he's currently in Las Vegas at Bally's Jubilee Theater. Gleason is also featured on The CW's "Masters of Illusion," airing on Fridays at 8 p.m. Story: https://bit.ly/2M8UTOM

494: Danny Orleans - the Omni-Magician

Danny Orleans is well known, well versed and well respected as both a children’s show entertainer and as a trade show worker. And adding to that, he and his wife, Jan Rose, also present an exceptional two-person mind reading act. Usually one would expect a successful professional to specialize in one field or another, but not both. Therefore, he is one of the few whom I refer to as an Omni-Magician who can do it all…and do it well.

"Danny Orleans performs one of the best kids magic shows -- strike that -- one of the best magic shows, I have ever seen." -- Mac King "This project is something special for reasons that transcend the magic show.”
