530: Dan Fleshman - Off The Menu

530 banner.jpg

Dan Fleshman has been around a long time and a recognized figure in our magic community. He managed and operated several comedy clubs back in the day. But for the past 30 years, he has been making his living as a professional magician. Performing three hours a night, five days a week for the past ten years at the Chop House in the Aspen, Colorado area makes him an “expert” in the field of restaurant work.

494: Danny Orleans - the Omni-Magician

494 banner.jpg

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.”

473: Tom Vorjohan on Tipping, Tricking and Twisting

473 banner.jpg

Tom Vorjohan has a world of experience and freely shares it with other magicians. Tom currently serves as a Board Member on the Board of Trustees for the I.B.M. But professionally he has worked as a restaurant magician for decades. He works at multiple venues each week that affords him with tons of experience. He knows how to entertain and knows the difference between “doing tricks” and “entertaining”. He really knows how to bring the FUN. In addition to magic, Tom is also an award winning balloon sculptor along with his balloon-atic partner, Daniel Herron who have twisted balloons for hotels, conventions and cruise ships. Tom had an ongoing column in M.U.M. for many years.
