792: Chris Capehart - Takin' It To The Street

Master Magician, Chris Capehart, loves the street. Although street magic is his passion and preferred venue, he performs all over the word at magic conventions and corporate events. His humor endears the audience and brings them closer as they have fun.

Chris shares some stories from his many years on the street and how he got started and moved from the corporate world to the full time business of magic. Not only is this a funny episode with a comedy magician, but also has a lot of valuable advice for all magicians regardless of wherever you work.
