Winner of the Academy of Magical Arts (the Magic Castle) trophy for “Close-Up Magician of the Year”, Suzanne the Magician joins us this week to talk about her experience of preparing then fooling Penn & Teller on their hit television show and also discuss ideas for performing in restaurants.

As discussed on this podcast episode, never make fun of your volunteer particularly when they become “easy targets.”

499: David Regal - Scene and Heard

499 banner.jpg

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.
