690: Jen Kramer - The Royal Road to Las Vegas

Jen Kramer is currently the only one-woman magic show on the Strip in Las Vegas. But not only that, she just celebrated her 500th performance and nearly concurrently, her 30th birthday! What an accomplishment for any young person…or older person for that matter! Jen started with the Society of Young Magicians (a group within the S.A.M.) in New York, later attended Tannen’s Magic Camp, went to Yale, then moved to Las Vegas and soon had her own show at the Westgate Hotel.

589: Harrison Greenbaum - Taking a Shvitz

589 banner best.jpg

More than a magician and more than a comedian, Harrison Greenbaum is in high demand. Our industry refers to those of us who are “comedy magicians” like Mac King, for example. But for someone who stand behind a microphone without any accoutrements and makes people laugh, well…that is a true comedian. Harrison is also well versed as a magician having attended then later taught at Tannen’s Magic Cam and performing magic at magic conventions and corporate banquets. But to the general public, Harrison is best known as a stand-up comic from his many appearances at nightclubs, on television and in theaters around the world including the Sydney Opera House.

Harrison makes his late night stand-up debut with a set that goes from Russia to Mars.

In this week’s episode, Harrison talks about his work in stand-up comedy, his improvisational skills, plus he gives us a little peek into what is in his magic lecture called “You Are All Terrible” that he gives at magic conventions and online.

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.

Magician and Comedian Dave Cox in the 2007 Hack and Slash Christmas Special. This year's show is December 11, 12 and 13th, 2009 in Baltimore. For tickets and Information, visit http://www.HackandSlash.com Also, Visit Dave at http://www.thedavecoxshow.com/
