831: Naathan Phan - Dangerously Gregarious

From Viet Nam and Scotland, this versatile, multi-national, energetic performer, Naathan Phan, has appeared on television, cruise ships, and stages around the world. You may have seen him on Masters of Illusion or Penn & Teller Fool Us (both on the CW Network) or America’s Got Talent (sic). You may have seen him in the movies such as Superbad or Up in Smoke, among others. Not only does he perform clever, innovative magic, but also he is a superb singer, actor, and mixologist!

Join us this week with Naathan Phan as we share a scotch and conversation. Naathan talks about his cross-country tour with his current, two-man show. He also gives some advice on how to develop a rapport with the audience, selecting volunteers, performing on television and cruise ships and more. He also gives us a recipe for a tasty cocktail!
