603 - Doc Eason - The Doctor is In

603 banner.jpg

Recognized as one of the top “bar magicians” in the country (if not the world), Doc Eason joins us this week from his home in Colorado. Doc was one of the house magicians at the former John Denver’s Tower Magic Bar and Restaurant in Snowmass, Colorado. He received “Best Bar Magician” by the Academy of Magical Arts and lectured around the world. After the passing of John Denver in 1997, the Tower soon thereafter closed and Doc took a little different direction as an after dinner motivational speaker.

This week’s podcast video on YouTube.

In this episode, Doc Eason talks about his career path that took him to Colorado and becoming the bar magician in residence in Snowmass. He has several stories about some of the shenanigans he has seen in the bar over the years, many of which will be going into a biography he is currently writing. He also talks about many of the people in his life along the way, like Eric Mead and Bob Sheets, who were pivotal in his life and career. He also shares some philosophy about life and a few emotional stories that you are sure to enjoy.

448: The Legend of "Pop" Haydn

banner 448.jpg

Although Whit Haydn is from the twentieth century, his on-stage persona is from the nineteenth century and both are living in the twenty-first century. This week Whit talks about the development of his richly textured back story that became "Pop" Haydn. This is a fascinating journey into the mind of one of the most creative magicians alive today. Whit is a seven time winner of the Academy of Magical Arts "Entertainer of the Year" awards including for all three rooms: Close-up, Parlor and Stage.

Pop Haydn performs on the Legends of Comedy Magic Show at the International Brotherhood of Magicians convention in Grand Rapids, Michigan, July 2018. www.pophaydn.com

Day three was another fun and exciting day that began with the Opening Session hosted by Justin Flom  A highlight of the show was Xavier Mortimer's incredibly innovative routines. He is currently featured in the Cirque du Soliel show here in Vegas, "Michael Jackson One".. But it was Wayne Dobson being interviewed by Jeff McBride which received a standing ovation.

00:00:07 – Tom Vorjahan, Daniel Herron and Eddie Wade give a recap of the Documentary Live 1 show from last night that featured the Long Beach Mystics hosted by Stan Allen and Mike Caveney. It featured David Deeble, Victor and Diamond, Michael Weber, Dana Daniels, Mark Kalin and Jinger, Armando Lucera, Kevin James, and James Hamilton (as Alexander Hamilton).

00:08:33 – I give a short review of the General Session that was hosted by Justin Flom and featured Master Payne, Bill Abbott, Xavier Mortimer, and Wayne Dobson being interviewed by Jeff McBride.

00:13:00 – I chatted with random people dining at the In ‘N Out and how much they enjoy this place. It is one of my regular, mandatory places to dine while in Las Vegas.

00:15:02 – Simon Coronel talks about creativity and how he developed his routine.

00:26:00 – Photo time with Criss Angel

00:26:50 – David Hira talks about this convention and conventions in general and their appeal to different age groups.

00:34:45 – Scott Hunstler was one of the winners on the Sunday night Welcome Party. He talks about what he won. Mark Weidhaas, S.A.M. Past President, and Errol Lipschitz, from Vancouver, talks about their experience of this convention.

00:39:56 – We viewed the documentary about Ricky Jay’s life, Deceptive Practices. Here I get to talk with a few people who know Ricky and have a perspective and opinion on the movie. It isn’t anything like Siskell & Ebert, but I think you will enjoy this discussion by Peter Samelson, Tim Felix and Jon Stetson.
