530: Dan Fleshman - Off The Menu

530 banner.jpg

Dan Fleshman has been around a long time and a recognized figure in our magic community. He managed and operated several comedy clubs back in the day. But for the past 30 years, he has been making his living as a professional magician. Performing three hours a night, five days a week for the past ten years at the Chop House in the Aspen, Colorado area makes him an “expert” in the field of restaurant work.
