Magicians Only - with Steve Valentine

Magicians Only - Episode Thirteen - How To Be Funny :)

Whether we want to be occasionally amusing or hysterically funny in our work, own stage, in a meeting or just with family, understanding the roots of what makes people laugh is fundamental.
In this special Past Masters episode, I perform an article... an incredible article, an article ON COMEDY that was written by a comedy LEGEND, you'll guess it easily, it was also written over a hundred years ago AND every word works today...
 
Apply these principals to your magic and your life and you'll be that very elusive thing, funny.

At The Steve Valentine Show
Today I share with you part one of a fabulous conversation I had with master magician, storyteller and professional speaker Jez Rose
@unusualist
about how MAGICIANS can become SPEAKERS! Is it doable, and MORE importantly can YOU do it?
Jez Rose is a broadcaster, honeybee farmer, award-winning writer and keynote speaker, known for his energy, humour and passion. He is also a fabulously successful magician.
At the last Magic Live convention in Las Vegas, Jez and I had a spirited conversation regarding the world of public and motivational speaking, something Jez knows a LOT about.
We also discussed how so many magicians are, or want to be, transitioning into this lucrative corporate world with varying degrees of success.
I found his insights fascinating and forced Jez to agree to an on camera interview, it wasn't pretty, blood was spilled, but I go to great lengths for you guys :)
This is Part One, part two is available for members of Magic On The Go.
This is a fun, eye opening discussion about the world of public speaking - and magicians. With any form of art, brutal honestly is what you need to move forward and we give it to you here.
If you see Jez on your travels,. please be sure to thank him profusely, he tips some really valuable secrets here...

On Magic On The Go there's a massive Masterclass on the fabulous EGG BAG trick.  Where I dive into numerous methods and routines and some pretty wild variations, but one of the most frustrating things was Horace Goldin's Egg Bag. Goldin (1873-1939) was lauded for his routine, many reviewers said he was one of the best at it, he'd KILL. YET, there's no real information on what he did or HOW he did it... until now :)
This is Part One of my deep dive into Goldin's history and development of his routine with some real surprises and honest talk along the way. A glance back at the golden age of magic...

Episode Four!
 
What happens when you're a nerdy magic loving teenager and you find yourself in a foreign country, running a nightclub, deejaying, performing two shows a night and having an open bar at your fingertips..?
ANSWER: EVERYTHING!
In this episode I confess to some bad magic, bad behaviour and life changing experiences while DeeJaying and running a club in the former Yugoslavia in the late 80’s. Including a run in with a local gangster! Not for the weak…
 
You decide if there are lessons to be learned!
