499: David Regal - Scene and Heard

While attending the 2019 F.F.F.F. convention, my voice was hoarse but it did not prevent me from recording an outstanding conversation with one of our craft’s most creative writers, David Regal. David is a producer of “The Carbonaro Effect”, one of the more popular TV shows in America. He is also author of “Approaching Magic” and a new book, “Interpreting Magic”, that will soon be on the market. David also is a favorite performer at the Magic Castle and creator of several original, marketed effects. And as if that isn’t enough, he is a scriptwriter for television sitcoms.

In this episode, David tells us about what it’s like to produce hit television shows, plus some interesting stories and philosophies about magic, performing and creating.

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.”
