Magicians Only - with Steve Valentine

Magicians Only: Welcome to the M.O.! Are you a magician? Should you be listening to this..? Welcome to your secret backstage pass into the wild, weird, and wonderful world of Hollywood and magic, where we pull back the curtain and trigger the trapdoor on the magicians craft, the secrets, the drama, and the insanity of showbiz. Hosted by none other than Steve Valentine, showbiz veteran, TV star (Crossing Jordan, Teen Beach, Estate of Panic, I’m In The Band), and world-traveling, multi-award-winning magician. Steve dishes jaw-dropping stories from his TV, film, magical (and often ridiculous) life, breaks down magic products, interviews legendary magicians (and sworn enemies), actor pals (and sworn enemies), celebrates the past masters and occasionally roasts the world of magic—because someone has to. Part memoir, part industry exposé, and part comedic therapy session. Yet what makes Magicians Only truly stand out is its unfiltered exploration of magic’s darker underbelly—the rivalries, the rumors, and the relentless pursuit of perfection. Warning: Magicians Only is not for the weak, sensitive, or humor-impaired. Magicians Only, shattering illusions daily…

To see the video version please check out my YouTube channel - https://youtu.be/nIe24UDHss4 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...
