582: Vince Wilson - In the Poe House

Edgar Allan Poe is a “favorite son” of Baltimore, Maryland (though it is not his birthplace). Our guest this week, Vince Wilson, has established “Poe’s Magic Theatre” in the Lord Baltimore Hotel where he performs stage shows with a bizarre theme. He also welcomes guest magicians to perform in the theatre, too. To supplement the magic shows, Vince also offers dinner theatre experiences with Murder Mysteries featuring themes like Sherlock Holmes, The Mummy, and the Titanic. These are very popular and offer a different kind of entertainment experience.

Alain Nu visited the Poe House in Baltimore with Vince Wilson for Poe's Magic Theatre. We were able to spend time with some wonderful guests and helped bring wonder to Poe's Home in Baltimore. The Man Who Knows was holding the camera in this video.

Host Vince Wilson has been on the Discovery Channel, Travel Channel, Destination America, local and national news and dozens of radio shows and podcasts!

This week our guest, Vince Wilson, talks about the difference between storytelling magic and bizarre magic, how he developed Poe's Magic Theatre and the unique “take” he has on the traditional murder mystery.

365: Day One - IBM/SAM Combined Convention 2017

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".
