281: Live From The Loft with Tony Clark & Bobby Hall

While recently visiting South Lake Tahoe for a little R&R, I was fortunate to see Tony Clark in action at the new "Loft at Heavenly Village" conveniently located less than 100 yards from my hotel. This is a beautiful new venue nestled in a vacation capital and promises to be popular among tourists. The two evenings I visited were both packed to near capacity of the 107 seat theater. Plus the restaurant/bar was a hub of activity that went on until late at night for skiers and revelers. The Loft is open seven nights a week from 4:00 p.m. until 2:00 a.m.

Tony Clark is the impresario who produces "Magic Fusion" at The Loft. The facility itself is the $1-million investment that Paul Reder, president of PR Entertainment, spent the last two years turning into a reality. It finally went "live" in mid-December 2015 and features live magic entertainment (both stage and close-up) plus fine Italian dining and an upscale lounge area and bar, complete with two fireplaces and overstuffed couches. For more information, Click Here to read the news article in the Tahoe Daily Tribune.

#200 - How The Grinch Stole Christmas

Last year we brought you "The Night Before Christmas" read by a handful of popular magicians. It was so well received that I asked a few more guys (and gals) to read "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas". See if you can pick out the voices of: Boris Wild, Bob Cassidy, Docc Hilford, Tim Ellis, Tim Trono, George Tait, Rocco Silano, Eric DeCamps, Mandy Farrell, Ice McDonald, Steven Bargatze, Marc Salem, Rick Merrill, Richard Osterlind and, as the Grinch, Eugene Burger.

As I attended several magic conventions over this past year, I took aside a few guys and gals to chat on the podcast. But many of the people graciously agreed to record something special just for this very special podcast. I hope you enjoy hearing their reading of this Doctor Seuss classic. This was one of the most difficult podcasts to edit and took the longest time to gather all the voices to do this one which ended up being one of the shortest ones, too.

This special podcast is my Christmas gift to you for listening for these past few years to the previous 199 podcasts. I wish all the best to you and yours for this holiday season.

"Now You See It With Scott Wells" - East Coast Mind Jam 2014

During the last day of the East Coast Mind Jam, Marc Salem was running a little late on his trip from the U.K. So, in order to give the registrants some additional content and more for their money, Eric Citron, the organizer, slated "Now You See It With Scott Wells".

This TV Talk Show format has been seen at many other conventions around the U.S. and features informal chats with talent booked at the convention. Typically the show includes magic-related/themed television commercials; however, due to the last minute nature of the schedule, the commercials were not shown during this event.

John Sergott recorded the show on his video camera up until his battery died. So, the video here has been edited to include his video with commercials inserted in post-production. Also, Dave Rasmussen took nearly 150 photos during the show which were added at the end of this video to accompany the audio portion of the part that was lost on video.

Magic & Martinis' Thursday
