878: Ed Ellis - Magician/Musician

Ed Ellis is not a name that is on the tip of the tongues of most magicians. I wouldn’t call him an “underground” magician because I think of “those guys” as being the ones who magicians go to when they want to learn some secret move. But Ed has quietly been making a living for many decades having worked at many prestigious resorts and country clubs and of late, has been returning to the magic convention scene. So, if you have not seen him or are not familiar with his work, you can watch his video lecture on Penguin or catch him at one of many convention appearances he plans to make this year.

Ed talks about his journey through life as he maneuvered jobs on film, nightclubs, and resorts. He gives some valuable advice on calling on past customers and maintaining personal friendships to ensure future opportunities.

792: Chris Capehart - Takin' It To The Street

Master Magician, Chris Capehart, loves the street. Although street magic is his passion and preferred venue, he performs all over the word at magic conventions and corporate events. His humor endears the audience and brings them closer as they have fun.

587: Eileen McFalls - Cellini: No Ordinary Magic

587 banner.jpg

Eileen McFalls spent much of the 1980’s with legendary street magician, Jim Cellini, during his formative and growth years on the street. All of this “underbelly” of an otherwise unseen world is brought into focus in the memoirs of his traveling companion, Eileen McFalls in, “No Ordinary Magic - Unexpected Travels with the Great Cellini.” Few books give such details recounting the sights, sounds, smells and ambiance of an era and,, indeed, of every moment on the road. You can feel the heat, smell the sweat, hear the music and feel the pressure of the street and the audience as Eileen reveals intimate details from her memoir.

The one and only Jim Cellini plays Jackson Square in New Orleans, 1985.

In this episode, we hit the streets as we are transported to a different time and different places in this detailed travelogue that you will not hear anywhere else. Eileen shares some stories from her book plus additional details and memories that didn’t make it inn the book.
