805: Christopher Carter - Mind Over Alma Mater

Christopher Carter has earned his place in the annals of collegiate entertainers having won numerous awards as a mentalist/mind reader at colleges and universities across the U.S. He has also starred in various one-man shows in and around Chicago, Illinois. Oh, and let’s not forget that he is in demand as a keynote speaker at corporate functions.

In this week’s episode, Chris shares many stories from the road plus loads of tips, advice, and suggestions that apply not only to the college entertainer, but also to other variety artists. This particular episode is almost more like a lecture than a conversation; however, it is quite conversational with questions asked and answered with nothing held back. If you have not seen Christopher perform or lecture, you will definitely seek him out after hearing this week’s episode.

139: Kevin Spencer - The Healing of Magic

top_banner.jpg

One of the highlights of the 2013 MAGIC Live! convention was the talk given by Kevin Spencer. More than an illusionist, this peripatetic prestidigitator is also a "healer". Well, maybe not in the traditional sense, but he has the ability to help heal by using magic. Specifically, over the past few decades, Kevin has been working with therapists around the world and teaching them "simple" magic tricks to use in their physical therapy sessions.

Kevin's short talk made an overwhelmingly positive impact on everyone present. His stories and video brought tears to nearly everyone in the audience as we could see the emotional and long lasting impact "just a little trick" does for those who are physically impaired. And his story about the autistic child...well, he relates this story again in this podcast.

In this podcast, Kevin talks about his career, the impact Doug Henning and later Jim Steinmeyer had/has on his performance and life. After you learn a little about who Kevin is, then you won't find his story surprising toward the end of this podcast as he talks about his true passion: the healing of magic.

You can visit his website to find out more about The Healing of Magic by Clicking Here or read an online article by Clicking Here.
