797: Meadow Perry - Bubblicious

When magicians think of variety acts, usually jugglers and ventriloquists come to mind. But there are a few out there who do a very unique thing: bubble magic. Meadow Perry has been professionally performing a bubble act for at least couple years appearing at magic conventions, Renaissance festivals, corporate meetings and even on television’s “Masters of Illusion.” We all stand on the shoulders of giants as we move our art forward and Meadow tells us how she took various ideas from other bubble artists to create her own niche.

In this week’s episode, Meadow tells us about the problem of working a bubble act both indoors and outdoors. She also talks about sharing her skill along with Carisa Hendrix online at “Bubble U” (University). We talk about the science and history of bubble acts and who the few are who still perform bubble acts in the world today.

356: Richard Faverty - LIghts, Camera, Hold

Some of the best cover photos ever published on MAGIC Magazine, Genii, The Linking Ring, and M.U.M. were the product of Richard Faverty at Beckett Studio in Las Vegas. But before he was the "go to guy" for creative promo shots, he was "Professor Bubbles" who toured the world with a bubble act and a world record holder, too.

Richard Faverty a.k.a. Professor Bubbles attempts to break his world record and fit 5 people (children) inside a giant bubble or bubblesphere at West Edmonton Mall, Alberta, Canada. 1999/2000 Filmed for Lindford's Record Breakers, and re-edited as late night filler for the Dave channel.

Tune stamps for this podcast:

00:04:21 - Richard talks about his early career with a bubble act then goes into a discussion of getting the right shot for the perfect promo shot. Sometimes the performer finds their "real selves" during the photo session. He talks about the process of creating something different every time, the differences between using traditional film versus digital, stock photos, setting up the shots, getting his photos on the covers of magazines, and stories about shooting some of the "guerilla" shots without being caught (it's always best to ask for forgiveness than it is for permission)..

01:09:17 - Product Review - "Flat Pack" by Andrew Mayne - a very commercial trick that can be carried in your wallet. Highly recommended.

01:11:52 - Product Review - "Bring It!" a three DVD set by Will Fern with his close-up Magic Castle act and his roving magic show explained. A very entertaining guy with wonderful routines and excellent thinking behind why he does what he does. Recommended.

Tossed Out Deck: You produce a small card with every playing card printed on it and ask several people to glance at one.

day 3 logo.jpg

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.
