493: Paul Gertner - The Ultimate "Show" Man

493 banner.jpg

Paul Gertner talks about his experience on “Penn & Teller Fool Us”, or I should say “experiences” since he has been on the show multiple times. But Paul is the ultimate showman and by “showman” I mean Trade Shows and One Man Shows plus he has been on “The Tonight Show” with Johnny Carson three time.. He has been performing at trade shows since 1975 and has had multiple One Man Shows including “Ten Fingers”, “Brain Drops”, and for the past year he has been producing “Miracles and Other Deceptions” in Boston, Massachusetts.

In this podcast, Paul talks about how he got onto the “Penn & Teller Fool Us” TV show, how he developed his one man shows, recommendations on how to find venues for his shows, advice on working trade shows, keeping clients, and more. Plus there is an addendum at the end where we talk about his time on television and visiting Johnny Carson at his home.
