865: Michael Rangel - Queen Mary Medium at Large...Ship

In the middle of this “Month of Boo,” we are getting much more serious about “things that go bump in the night” as we feature a Magic Castle member who regularly performs seances aboard the Queen Mary. This grand old ship sailed for 31 years before being permanently docked in Long Beach, California, operating as a passenger liner from 1936 to 1967. Michael’s seance is called “57 Ghosts” which runs sporadically throughout the year, but five nights a week now through November 3, 2024. For more information, Click Here.

We begin our chat discussing the loss of a mutual friend, Greg Arce, then go on to talk about other seance venues and how Michael got involved with and focusing on the Queen Mary. He shares several stories from the Queen that are, no doubt, also told with much more detail during the seance.

583: Aiden SInclair - Illusions of the Passed

583 banner.jpg

This Halloween season we travel to Colorado to visit the “Stanley Hotel” where resident magician and medium (at large), Aiden Sinclair presents bizarre magic with a decided twist. You may recognize the Stanley Hotel as being the inspiration for Stephen King to write “The Shining” that was later produced into a blockbuster movie. Not only does Aiden perform his “Illusions of the Passed” (yes, that is spelled correctly) at the Stanley, but he also presents seances at the haunted Winchester House and aboard the equally possessed Queen Mary. These venues provide the perfect backdrop for the spooky performances presented by this “reformed” magician. And by “reformed” I mean…well, you will have to listen to this week’s episode.

Welcome to Illusions of the Passed! A Theatrical Seance at the Historic Stanley Hotel. Join master Illusionist Aiden Sinclair for an evening of mystery entertainment!

Aiden Sinclair performs an impromptu show for an unsuspecting audience in the lobby of the Stanley Hotel.

Master magician Aiden Sinclair stops by the KCAL9 studio to discus the new show aboard the Queen Mary called "Illusions of the Past, Legends of the Queen Mary" and gives KCAL9 anchor a Halloween surprise she'll never forget!

This week Aiden Sinclair shares the incredible story of his journey from the life of a true con man, his incarceration and rehabilitation as he entered the world of bizarre magic. It was a back-story shared on “America’s Got Talent” [sic] that, along with his talents and magical skills, led him to progress rather far along the path to the finals.
