In this week’s episode, Joe talks about his amazing history of performing, creating and consulting magic over the years. His fast-paced style and on-stage choreography reminds one of the moves of a flamenco dancer and also of a Spanish bullfighter in the arena. This week he chats about a lot of what he has accomplished over the past 40+ years including a bit about taking care of the Houdini Memorial in New York. He had two touring illusion shows, but since the death of his wife/assistant, he has focused on singular performances and consulting.

720: Krystyn Lambert - Interview with a Witch

Some of you may remember Krystyn Lambert from performing as a Junior in some magic competitions, or her movies such as “Desperate Acts of Magic” or “Make Believe” or her appearances on TV shows shows like “Penn & Teller Fool Us” or “Masters of Illusion.” As an adult she has performed with Criss Angel in “The Supernaturalists” road tour and more recently she has been performing at the Chicago Magic Lounge and Mystique nightclubs. She recently completed a run at the Stanley Hotel in Colorado with her seance act.

This has all been a journey for Krystyn which has led her to where she is today. Oh, and did I mention that she is a witch?
