We had a most delightful and educational visit with Past International President, Joe M. Turner in 2015 (Episode #208) where Joe gave some excellent advice about getting into the Speaking Business. This week we go in a different direction with Joe. Since magic conventions have been canceled or postponed, The Magic Word Podcast has not been able to bring you daily convention updates. So, this week we talk with one of the emcees from Obie’s 4F convention as we reminisce about some past F.F.F.F. conventions and what makes this event stand out in all the world. We also discuss the state of conventions and perhaps a glimpse of where we’re heading with our conflabs.
But before we get into the meat of this week’s podcast, one of our favorite guests, Norman Beck, has a comical take on our current situation. He provides a little relief when we need it most. Thanks, Norm, for taking our call to your “Comedy Hot Line.”
Thanks goes to Mike Maione who put together this montage of past performers at Obie’s 4F convention.

His performance for hosts Karen Graham and Jeff Hill included a quick card location and an impossible torn-and-restored routine using a photo of Karen which she had autographed. His appearance was to promote his upcoming benefit show for Engage Atlanta. Corporate magician, mentalist and keynote speaker Joe M. Turner is your event's "Chief Impossibility Officer."

The Stranger has just been released for Android this week. I’ve been waiting years for this. Check it out. It’s noting less than awesome. More on this (and so much more) in our discussion with Jonathan Levit in Episode #464. Well worth another listen.
