A couple weeks ago, I got to visit with MANY old magic friends, some of whom I haven’t seen in years. We all went to the Golden Gate Gathering, a small close-up convention that’s been making waves in the northwest for the last few years. In this podcast, Michael Gallo and I interrupted our evening revels to let you hear some of the conversation!

Back from the Golden Gate Gathering, having a good visit here with my old friend Lee Asher. Have a listen to this new podcast i recorded over the weekend with my old friend Dorian Rhodell. I met Dorian on my first trip to Los Angeles – I was there to meet Larry Jennings, see the Magic Castle and visit with all the great California magicians I’d heard about.

Dorian spent a lot of time with Larry, and it shows. On this podcast, we talk about what it was like to know Larry – and how it influenced our magic. As you listen, think about how he might have affected yours. ‘

Well, it’s finally here: the final installment of my audio series on the student/teacher relationship. If you haven’t already figured it out, aside from the connection between the performer and the audience, this is the most important relationship you’ll have as a magician.

In this installment, you’ll hear about my first trip to Fechters, my first trip to California and the Magic Castle, and what it was like to meet two of card magic’s greatest icons: Larry Jennings and Michael Skinner.

In the process, you’ll find out why I became a ‘California’ Card Man – and why deep down, you just might be one too!
