850: David Williamson - RIngmaster and Headmaster

Many in our community consider themselves as “comedy magicians” but few achieve the level of David Williamson. Not only is he adept at sleight of hand (and in fact is the headmaster of Sleight School) but also he is a master of comedy as he directs children on stage to literally jump through hoops to achieve maximum laughter for all. He is the Ringmaster of “Circus 1903” and has toured with The Illusionists. Always a hit with local TV morning shows in the cities that host his shows, he makes everyone comfortable with laughing. He has authored books including the seminal “Williamson’s Wonders.” He has been recognized with top awards by the Academy of Magical Arts and The Magic Circle. This milestone episode #850 is one that I’m sure you will enjoy now and for years to come.
