Midwest Magic Jubilee Day 3 Photos 2012

The final day of the 56th MMJ brought even more last day registrants to the convention. Perhaps they saw and heard what they were missing by getting these daily updates! The morning opened with an excellent lecture by Chris Capehart. He spoke about working the streets and tips on the linking rings.

Scott Alexander lectured on stand-up magic with several great ideas for openers, plus some excellent close-up tricks, too.

Last but not least of the lecturers was the king of the levitation, Losander. He gave us some ideas for using invisible thread and bubbles and more.

The close-up show featured seven performers with dramatically different styles and all quite excellent.

The evening gala was a packed house with at least two-thirds of the audience being laymen. Michael Finney was the MC and the acts included Ferrell Dillon, Scott Alexander and Losander.

After the show, the registrants retired to the Dealers' Room for a Farewell Party.

064: Midwest Magic Jubilee Day 1 - Now You See It with Scott Wells

On the opening night of this year's Midwest Magic Jubilee (MMJ), I audio  recorded "Now You See It with Scott Wells", a late night talk show that  features some of the talent from the magic conventions. This was my  fourth year with this talk show at the MMJ, always with a completely  different line-up. This year it featured Shep Hyken, Dan Garrett, Chris  Capehart and Michael Finney.

053: David Stone - Trust Yourself

David Stone joined me for a chat about life, magic and movies. Enjoy this emotional roller coaster ride from his performances in the restaurants of St. Topez to being the Guest of Honor at the 2012 F.F.F.F. (Fechter's Finger Flicking Frolic). David exposed his soul in this in-depth interview as we enjoyed a few glasses of Dalmore Scotch late into the wee hours of the morning in Houston. He talked about his notoriety in France and Asia, how he got there plus an insightful look at his mentors, friends and inspirational role models. David gave this interview near the end of his triumphant 20+ city lecture tour of the U.S. and just before his return to France. Aside from being a wonderful magician, he is an inspiration, a gentleman, and quite charismatic. Warning: some language is R rated.
