During this past year Murray has been on the covers of VANISH and Genii magazines plus, most importantly, he got married this Fall in the historic Plaza Hotel and Casino in downtown Vegas. He continues to move magic forward as he maintains his residency at the Laugh Factor in the Tropicana plus a variety act in “Fantasy” at the Luxor. In addition to that, he also performs around the country for private engagements as well as comedy clubs and theaters. Watch for him when he comes to a venue near you!

In this episode, Murray talks about the return of “live” shows and tourism and what shows have come and gone in Vegas in 2021 plus his defense of originating the locomotive vanish inside a theater which has been contested by The Illusionists and Copperfield. He also talks about how some shows are staying financially “in the black” due to the government grants due to the COVID payments and how and where these funds are being dispersed. He also gives some suggestions on what shows you should see when you travel to Las Vegas.

548: Jamie Allan - the iMagician

548 banner.jpg

Jamie Allen is known as the iMagician and the “High Tech Houdini” who brings magic into today’s age using modern technology. His stage show is unlike traditional magic shows and even some of the classics in magic (i.e. sawing in half, sub trunk, and the zig-zag) have all been updated with original twists and video introductions that give some entertaining and historical background on some of those effects. He also uses Augmented Reality (A/R) to perform some of his close-up effects that are projected on the big overhead screens.

Jamie talks about what it’s like performing magic in today’s age with interest in high-tech and how he develops magic for today’s world and today’s audiences. He also talks about the “stigma” associated with performing on cruise ships ,traveling with a stage show, the changes in venues and audience’s tastes in the U.K. He also talks about the changes in the cruise ship industry as it affects magicians.

463: Michael Campion - Fuller House

463 banner.jpg

“Full House” was a popular television show in the U.S. in the 1980’s and has been recently revived on Netflix as “Fuller House” and co-stars young magician, Michael Campion. You can find a lot of information online about Michael telling you about his acting career, but in this podcast, we explore an inside look into his passion for magic. Michael loves close-up magic and hopes to incorporate his magic into some of his future acting roles.

In this podcast, Michael talks frankly about his acting career, “going to school” during his shooting schedule, the difficulties of being a young celebrity, magic on TV, current state of magic, and more. For a very special look at his stage performance of the Sub Trunk, enjoy this video on Dropbox by following this link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5v5f30gfa5i1m19/IMG_1943.mp4?dl=0

The Tanner-Fuller clan returns December 14 for a brand-new season of love, laughs, and (of course) HUGS! Come on in, the door is always open. A Netflix Original Series.
