599 - Suzanne the Magician- Suz with a "Z"

Winner of the Academy of Magical Arts (the Magic Castle) trophy for “Close-Up Magician of the Year”, Suzanne the Magician joins us this week to talk about her experience of preparing then fooling Penn & Teller on their hit television show and also discuss ideas for performing in restaurants.

As discussed on this podcast episode, never make fun of your volunteer particularly when they become “easy targets.”

This week we learn how Suzanne had to rework and retool her signature “Band Aid” trick "(A Mother’s Love) to make it work for Penn & Teller Fool Us. She also shares stories from her decades of experience of performing magic at high end restaurants plus some advice on trick selections, approaching tables, and more.

437: CJ Johnson - Game On!

CJ Johnson is a man of many talents. He is not as well known among the magic crowd because he is another one of those who works, creates, and performs rather than attending magic conventions, lecturing for Penguin or Murphy's, or having his ideas published in major magic magazines.

But it's important to know what he does and why he is successful at hypnotism shows, marketing, building, working the college and grade school circuit and producing several game shows that are on the road and on the high seas.

CJ Johnson is one of the leading hypnotists in the college and corporate market today. To find out how to bring Comedy Hypnotist CJ Johnson to your next College, Corporate or High School event, visit http://www.SleepWithCJ.com now.

Survey Says is our most popular college and corporate game show. This video shows just 1 part of one round. It captures the energy and excitement created at each and every show by our amazing group of hosts. If you are looking for the best College or Corporate game show in the business, that won't drain your wallet - look no further.

In this podcast, CJ Johnson talks about taking classes to become a hypnotist after he had already booked some hypnosis shows. Though it may not be the best advice to do that, it worked out well for CJ. He also talks about working the college circuit with his many game shows. CJ also refers to his marketing book, "More Shows More Money". That book is still available and can be purchased as an eBook or a soft cover edition.
