610 - TC Tahoe - I Heart TC

610 banner.jpg

TC Tahoe is much more than a comedy magician. Currently hailing from the Sunshine State of Florida, TC is also an illustrator and a card reader. Yes, he has skills with playing cards, but I’m talking about Tarot cards. One of the skills he learned at a young, impressionable age was how to read Tarot cards and that has stuck with him all these years. TC has been nominated by the Academy of Magical Arts on multiple occasions for multiple awards but has yet to take home a coveted prize other than “also ran.” Oh well, perhaps some day. He has also worked at both Magic Island locations in California and Texas.

This week’s podcast video on YouTube.

This week TC Tahoe talks about his experience of performing at the Magic Islands in Newport Beach, California, and in Houston, Texas. TC is known to many people for various reasons. To some, he is a comedian. To others, he is an illustrator. Still others, he is a Tarot card reader. In this episode, he discusses all of these “hats” he wears and how he came to be where he is and how he does what he does so well.

549: Mercer Helms - Trust Me

549 banner.jpg

Mercer Helms is a retired dove magician, though he shouldn’t be “pigeon-holed” like that (pun intended). He has retired to Houston, Texas after a long and illustrative career in Los Angeles California and Las Vegas, Nevada. Many years ago he continues to work in and around Houston due to his wife’s failing health. We frequently worked together at Houston’s Magic Island where he was the opening dove act and much loved by the audiences.

You can view a video of him performing his dove routine on the Magicana.com website by Clicking Here

In this week’s episode, Mercer talks about his relationship with Phyllis Diller, how they came to know each other, a few “tales from the road”, plus what it was like working in the old circuit that included the Catskills and old Las Vegas. Mercer was also the subject of a 2015 newspaper article which you can read by Clicking Here.
