584: Patrick Thernes - Call Me Sir Pat Trick

Sir Pat Trick came on the radar of most magicians at the 2013 MAGIC Live! convention when the late Joanie Spina gave a presentation about developing a stage persona. By example, she showed a video of one of her students who had submitted a video then she introduced us to Patrick Thernes who performed a completely different act with a totally new character. The transformation was evident and it led to Patrick achieving his lifelong goal of performing at the Magic Castle.

Patrick Thernes is today a performing magician but not with the same act we saw. He has also scaled back his performances in favor of producing and consulting other magicians and theater owners/producers.

From MAGIC Live! introduced by the late Joanie Spina.

In this episode, Patrick talks about his work as a classically trained actor and his transformation from his “old” character to his new one. He also reveals some personal information about that new character that has not been told anywhere before.

Marvyn "Mr. Electric" Roy Reminisces at MAGIC Live! Over The Years

Although Marvyn Roy (aka “Mr. Electric”) didn’t sit down with me for a proper conversation to post as a full episode, I was able to put together three separate conversations I had with him at MAGIC Live! conventions. The first was in 2013, the next in 2016 and the last one was in 2017. Marvyn loved magic and he loved magicians. I believe that is what kept him going and kept him alive for 95 years.

WWII Purple Heart Recipient. Marvyn Roy is the namesake of Marvyn's Magic Theater in La Quinta California now open!

This short episode is a compilation of three different conversations with Marvyn over the years. You can hear how his passion for magic is undiminished.
