123: Roy Zaltsman - The Israeli Phenomenon

Roy Zaltsman is one of the world's busiest working mentalists shuttling from Israel to India to Spain to the U.S. and many countries in between for large Fortune 500 companies at their product roll-outs and company/customer meetings and training seminars. He was also one of the participants on the hugely popular Israeli television show, "The Successor" with Uri Geller, which spawned similar shows in other countries including here in the U.S. with the NBC show entitled, "The Next Phenomenon" with Uri Geller and Cris Angel..

Aside from teaching mentalism (and some really coo card tricks),  Roy also offers magicians an opportunity to learn "inside secrets" through his "Unpublished Magic Tutorials" from some of the top magicians and mentalists in the world. You can subscribe to receive new video tutorials plus see archived videos by visiting his website at http://telepatia.co.il/unpublished 

The video below is the most recent addition to the archives that was shot here in my recording studio at "Mystic Haven".

Roy passed through Houston, Texas as part of this limited, yet nationwide lecture tour between appearances at the Daytona Magic Festival and the MINDvention in Las Vegas.

In this podcast we talk about the use of disclaimers before a mentalism show, how to keep a mentalism show from appearing as a series of predictions, stories about Uri Geller, how Roy became a mentalist, his development of Unpublished Magic Tutorials,  and some of his philosophy on creating and what he teaches during his lecture.

Magic & Martinis Thursday

For those who remember our chat with Steve Trash located Here), he sent me a link to his new song "The Green Houdini" which is perfect for this 87th anniversary of Houdini's death. Steve really is the "Rockin' Eco-Hero". Once heard, it's hard to get this jingle out of my head. Scary!

Halloween cheers from Roy Zaltsman and Scott Wells.

038: Winter Carnival 2011 - Another "Nearly Lost Episode" in Pigeon Forge, TN

This hour and a half podcast covers all three days of the convention including chats with Tom Ladshaw, Steve Beam, Mike Stratman, Duane Laflin, Doc Eason, Bob Little, Kozmo, Tom Vorjahan, Steve Gronowski, JC Doty, Dan Harlan, Daniel Herron, John Hopper, Steven Bargatze and of course, Banachek. There is a lot of interesting material in here and some rather revealing and candid conversations that go well beyond the convention.

But whether or not you attended the Winter Carnival and want to relive some of the moments or to hear some of the sounds you may have missed, then please listen to this podcast. I think you'll enjoy it and might even learn a little something along the way.
