862: Alex Boyce - Making it There in Old New York

There are many rising, young stars in our magic community. Some are gifted close-up workers while others are confident stage performers, all with bright futures ahead of them. One such young performer (now 28 years old) who excels in both and whom I have kept my eye on is Alex Boyce. His life has been consumed with magic and was a student at Tannen’s Magic Camp. Since his graduation from the camp, he is now an instructor. He has competed in stage contests at magic conventions and worked his act in and around his home in New York including Scott’s Resort in the Catskills where they filmed “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.” He now regularly performs at SpeakEasy Magick in New York City and is a client of Bill Herz, who represents many of the top names in magic today.

491: Thom Peterson - The Amazing Guy

491 banner.jpg

Thom Peterson really is an Amazing Guy. His life has been filled with magical adventures on land and the high seas. His lecture repertoire is nothing less than first class with every item a real “worker’s” dream Thom currently resides in the U.K. where he works the corporate and cruise ships markets. His thinking behind every effect is thorough and he squeezes every ounce of laughter and entertainment out of every effect. He recently traveled across the U.S. on a nationwide lecture tour and some told me that his lecture was the best they’d seen…not this year, but EVER! It was that good!

469: Chad Long - Seriously Silly

469 banner.jpg

This episode wraps up our Cuban Conversations with Conjurors that were recorded during the recent MaciCuba event in Havana. Chad Long is a close-up comedy magician whom most everyone knows. No doubt you have seen him performing at magic conventions around the world (including MAGIC Live!) as well as his creative products he has put on the market. But he is also in demand in the Corporate Market entertaining the titans of industry in Board Rooms and Trade Show Floors. But you may not know the serious side of Chad. So, this week you will hear him talk about how seriously he takes his art, his comedy, and his creativity and the influence that David Williamson had on his style of comedy.
