686: Master Payne - On Point

“Master Payne” Fifield is a multidimensional renaissance character. A member of the Society for Creative Anachronism, Payne (as he likes to be called) is one of the instructors at Jeff McBride’s “Magic and Mystery School” in Las Vegas. He is also a regular performer at the “Moisture Festival” and other medieval fests throughout the greater northwest. As his website says, “Seattle’s Premier Prestidigitator.” But many magicians who attend MAGIC Live! know him as the master of the PowerPoint with his clever and witty presentations at their events.

Join Scott as he chats with Payne about acquiring his name “Master Payne” as well as how he came to the attention of Stan Allen for MAGIC Live! with his PowerPoint Presentations. He also has a lot to say about working at outdoor festivals in the great northwest. He scatters a lot of advice throughout this episode that many of us will benefit from in our own presentations. He also talks about the importance of scripting and how public speaking is different from talking during your performance.
