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.

338: The Presidents' Messages 2017

Jeff Sikora, President of the Society of American Magicians, and Oscar Munoz, President of the International Brotherhood of Magicians, and Scott Penrose, President of The Magic Circle speak about their vision for their respective organizations during their terms in office plus what more they want to accomplish.

The Magic Circle headquarters hosts a remarkable museum and library dedicated to preserving the craft of magic. The history of magic as an art form has been shrouded in mystery in order to protect secrets, often being handed down verbally and to only a select few, but in The Magic Circle Headquarters this history comes to life with stories and artefacts from some of the most fascinating performers.

http://www.magicsam.com/ The Society of American Magicians is the oldest and most prestigious magic organization in the world. For over a century it has promoted the ideals shared by Kellar, Houdini, Thurston and more than 47,000 others world-wide who have held membership in the society.
