463: Michael Campion - Fuller House

463 banner.jpg

“Full House” was a popular television show in the U.S. in the 1980’s and has been recently revived on Netflix as “Fuller House” and co-stars young magician, Michael Campion. You can find a lot of information online about Michael telling you about his acting career, but in this podcast, we explore an inside look into his passion for magic. Michael loves close-up magic and hopes to incorporate his magic into some of his future acting roles.

In this podcast, Michael talks frankly about his acting career, “going to school” during his shooting schedule, the difficulties of being a young celebrity, magic on TV, current state of magic, and more. For a very special look at his stage performance of the Sub Trunk, enjoy this video on Dropbox by following this link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5v5f30gfa5i1m19/IMG_1943.mp4?dl=0

The Tanner-Fuller clan returns December 14 for a brand-new season of love, laughs, and (of course) HUGS! Come on in, the door is always open. A Netflix Original Series.
