    791: Greg Frewin - Lions and Tigers and Birds, Oh My!

    Greg Frewin is an award winning magician who has had a long and successful career, having once teamed up with Jason Byrne when they both had bird acts to currently performing in his own venue, “The Greg Frewin Theatre” in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. He has appeared on dozens of television shows around the world and Las Vegas showrooms, too. He has even given a Royal Command Performance for Prince Rainier of Monte Carlo.

    In this episode, Greg talks about his long and storied career that has taken him around the world on cruise ships, casino showrooms and Royal Command Performances that have won him accolades like First Place for the I.B.M., S.A.M. and FISM. He chats about working with birds and why he started working with large cats until he decided to retire that act. And speaking of retiring, he is slowly going into semi-retirement as he is turning over the reins to his theatre to Christian Mascia, whom we also talk to in this episode.

    790: Steve Valentine - Quiet Confidence

    790: Steve Valentine - Quiet Confidence

    Actor and Magician, Steve Valentine joins us this week to chat about something that is in the news: the actors/screen writers strike. As an actor, it directly affects Steve and he tells us what it is that the union is asking from from the studios. In the meantime, everyone is having to depend upon alternate streams of revenue while the industry is shut down until…well, who knows when. But the stakes are high and not only affect people like Steve, but also the movie and streaming viewing audience. Steve has appeared as a regular on the TV show, “Crossing Jordan” as well as in Robert Zemeckis films such as “The Walk” among other television bit parts over the years. Some of his television appearances include “House,” “Monk,” “Will & Grace,” and “Psych” just to name a few. He is also a regular performer at the Magic Castle and star of his own one-man show, “Life and Other Deceptions.” Steve has been featured on the cover of nearly every English speaking magic magazine in the world.





    This is the Snoop Dogg video that Steve Valentine alluded to in this week’s podcast.

    789: Harry Maurer - Life on the Deep Blue Sea

    From Houston, Texas, to Tokyo, Japan, Harry Maurer has done it all. It is hard to say if he is best known as a cruise ship magician as he does (or has done) so many things and done them all to perfection. When he is not at sea, he is busy booking himself and his lovely wife, Carol Anne, in clubs, casinos, banquet rooms and theaters across the U.S. It is rare to find him at home where we caught him for this special episode.

Always learn something new.

I just finished listening to Episode 750 (congratulations on the milestone) and must say each episode has many gems to be mined. Scott is a great host who doesn’t make the show about himself and asks great thought-provoking questions to the guests to provide great advice for us mere mortals. Looking forward to the next 750.

Like Listening to Friends Chat!

Each episode I listen to, I have preconceived notions of the direction this interview will take. And time after time — I’m wrong. Scott has immersed himself in magic and magicians his entire life; when he talks with someone he knows, the hour-long conversations go to levels I never knew. If he’s with someone he doesn’t particularly know, he finds a common bond or link, and then the sharing begins. Always intriguing and frequently enlightening, Scott’s talks seem like chats among friends. Five stars of enjoyable!

The Magic Word is … Awesome!

I just downloaded a few episodes of The Magic Word podcast and I’m totally hooked! Not only do you hear the latest news from around the world, you hear from todays top performers!

Scott does a great job with his labor of love … and it does show. When he’s at a convention … you feel like you’re there with him! I just can’t get enough of this podcast … I look forward to each new episode! If you love magic … you’ll love The Magic Word podcast. Highly recommended!
