451: Chaney and West - Tales From Sin City

While attending a birthday party celebration for Fielding West in Las Vegas, Nevada, we spoke with several attendees, but recorded a chat with Fielding and Earl Chaney. Both have been featured in stand-alone podcasts, each talking about their lives plus stories of “old Las Vegas”. But we have not had these two Las Vegas legends together on the same microphone…until now. Each has their own story, but both have friends in common which leads one to tell another story when the other leaves off. This was a fun podcast where I didn’t have to ask questions but just listen to the history of Las Vegas as it unfolded before my ears. Enjoy!

Time stamps for this podcast:

00:04:38 - Earl Chaney and Fielding West share stories about their careers and “associates” in old Las Vegas

00:40:24 - Product Review - “PERPLEX” by Criss Smith is a DVD instruction of a card move and force including four routines. Recommended

00:43:40 - Product Review - “T.S’T. (Torn-Seal-Transform)” is a prediction effect with a torn corner of a blank card inside a clear zip-lock baggie visually transforms to a torn corner of a selected card. King of “finnicky” and cumbersome. Not recommended

00:46:30 - Product Review: - :Equilibrium” allows you to count off an equal number of cards that your volunteer secretly has removed from a deck of cards. Not particularly recommended.

00:50:11 - Product Review - “Launch” turns your wallet into a launch wallet. Essentially, your credit card, business card or folded cash can shoot out of your wallet for a couple feet. Recommended.
