797: Meadow Perry - Bubblicious

When magicians think of variety acts, usually jugglers and ventriloquists come to mind. But there are a few out there who do a very unique thing: bubble magic. Meadow Perry has been professionally performing a bubble act for at least couple years appearing at magic conventions, Renaissance festivals, corporate meetings and even on television’s “Masters of Illusion.” We all stand on the shoulders of giants as we move our art forward and Meadow tells us how she took various ideas from other bubble artists to create her own niche.

In this week’s episode, Meadow tells us about the problem of working a bubble act both indoors and outdoors. She also talks about sharing her skill along with Carisa Hendrix online at “Bubble U” (University). We talk about the science and history of bubble acts and who the few are who still perform bubble acts in the world today.

Gaetan Bloom is recognized as not only one of the most inventive and creative magic thinkers in our world of magic, but also he is one of the really nice guys in magic. We sat down with Gaetan during a recent magic convention and spent some quality time talking about his work in France, his performances at the Crazy Horse cabaret in Paris, his first meeting with another creative thinker, Kevin James, plus his thoughts and philosophies on magic and working with invisible thread and much more.

This is the first of a five day series of podcasts from Louisville featuring conversations with convention talent, organizers, dealers and registrants. The intent is to bring you the sounds (and sights through the embedded videos and attached photos) of what's happening almost in "real time" so you have the next best experience of actually being there. .

This is not the "official" first day of the convention, but nonetheless, there were several "pre-convention" activities that happened and are worth recording for this episode which I will call "Day One".
