454: Dave Arch - Cold Reading Corporate Clients

Dave Arch is a long time friend who resides in Omaha, Nebraska. Dave has pretty much done it all: school shows, illusion shows, motivational speaker, corporate trainer, counselor, trade show magic, and more. But over the past several years, Dave has been an Executive Leadership Coach for one of the largest privately held companies in Omaha.

Although he is a magician, he is not a psychic but has used “cold reading” with his corporate training. In that regard, he recently released a series of eBooks on Scientific Cold Reading . It is a completely different twist on cold reading in a “psychic reading” format. For more information, visit the website at Lybrary.com to learn more about Dave and his books and videos on cold reading corporate clients.

This is an extended clip from Dave Arch's magic keynote where he uses several of the effects taught in his "Tricks for Trainers" series

This is a short retrospective of Dave's career in magic used on the night he was awarded the David P. Abbott Award by the Omaha Magical Society and made a life-time member of the organization.

In this podcast, Dave shares his long-held and coveted secrets of booking school shows plus we talk about how to grow your magic club. Finally, we talk about cold reading corporate clients.

244: Two Daves - Dave Cox & David Kaplan

Two Daves that need shaves. Dave Cox and David Kaplan, both successful creative comedy magicians in their own right. Both were part of the talent line-up at this year's incredibly great I.B.M. convention in Jacksonville, Florida. Both performed and gave wonderful lectures (which I would recommend to other convention organizers). David Kaplan basically followed me from Italy to Florida, from FISM to the I.B.M. convention where he also performed and lectured. And I recently saw Dave Cox perform at the Magic Castle along with Bruce Gold in the Peller Theater as the "Evil Twins" (a wonderful act, BTW).

I caught up with Dave Cox after his lecture to sit down for a chat but before we turned on the recorder, David Kaplan wandered up to see if we wanted to go to lunch. I suggested we talk first, then eat. David acquiesced and joined the conversation which will last longer than the digested food. So, it is to your benefit that we get to hear some advice, stories and chuckles from a couple of the "under-sung" comedians in our industry today.
