658: From Paris With Love

Bonjour, mon ami! During my recent trip to France, some time was spent in Paris, the "City of Love." I certainly fell in love with the city and its people. And why not! I was warmly welcomed by three of my local magician friends, Alexandra Duvivier, David Stone and Boris Wild. They were so hospitable and generous and even showered me with unexpected birthday gifts! My travel companions (and fellow Texas magicians, Dick Olson and Trixie Bond along with her husband, Mark Axford) watched an amazing show at Le Double Fond that featured Alexandra and her father, Dominique Duvivier. The next day we had coffee at a little bistro with David Stone then met Boris Wild for a tour of the local Museum of Magic. While there we were entertained by Jérôme Cadeac who is the house magician at the Museum.
Enjoy this episode with conversations featuring three of the top magicians in Paris (if not the world), Alexandra, David and Boris.

520: David Parr - Choosing Your Path

520 banner.jpg

David Parr is…well, a bit of an enigma in our world today. He took the rather circuitous path to eventually find his own way to happiness. If this sounds like an existential existence, then you’d be right. Like many of us, David has tried many paths, including comedy clubs and magic, before he settled on being a Bizarre Magician. His thoughts on the subject and how he sees this area of our art and how he got there is the subject of our conversation.

As a Theater Major in school, he has always favored the dramatic and storytelling side of performing. Along the way, he blazed a trail for others to follow when magic was not considered a “theatrical art” but relegated to children’s birthday parties. He has learned how to find theaters and convince them to engage and partner with him for successful magic performances that tell stories.
