The Magic Hat Podcast - #23 Series  Christopher W. Barnes    A Comedy/Magic Discussion
play

02/07/23 • 22 min

I have not had the pleasure of working with comic/magician Christopher Barnes; but he came highly recommended and everything I was told was true. Chris approaches his magic using a kind'a cartoonish delivery, bright colors, goofy antics, and funny props; which make for an always entertaining show for kids...and adults. But there is more...he is also a playwright who has had shows in New York and Los Angeles. As proof of his talents, visit his YouTube site at yaytaco.fun great stuff!

This is the second of Ken Garr's talks with us on the way he got into performing comedy-magic shows across the country. Ken is a Bay Area entertainer who has done some TV, is a co-host regular on the streaming "Creature Feature" series, and on this episode he shares how he adds comedy to the illusions he does. Very interesting!

Thanks for enjoying this series; and on this special mid -series edition, we have professional comic Bob Worley sharing his attempt to perform some magic...for the first (and hopefully last) time. This is just a short comedy break in the series, and we will have more great discussions with other professional comic-magicians again next time. Thanks for listening, and please share with other who enjoy the variety arts.

The Magic Hat Podcast - #22 Series Comedy/Magic Discussion with Scot Smith
play

01/31/23 • 21 min

I have worked with a lot of nationally known magicians, as you have heard on earlier shows from this podcast; but most magicians around the world don't reach those levels of professional shows. However, they are just as dedicated, proficient, and hard working at their craft. They may be doing mostly kids parties, restaurants, and small corporate events; but they are all professionals. Scot Smith is a terrific example of a very successful comic-magician that never left his Home town. Scot is respected, works hard to entertain, and was a joy to have on my podcast, this is the second of his shows...enjoy!

The Magic Hat Podcast - #19 Series Comedy/Magic Discussion with Greg Otto
play

03/07/23 • 22 min

We had some audio difficulties with this recording; but the story of Mr. Otto's career as a Magician AND standup comic is very different than most. Greg Otto started, like most, as a straight magician; but his interest in standup comedy took him to performing just standup on cruises, comedy clubs and TV. YET, he always had his comedy magic as a back-up plan. In fact, for several years, he pulled back on comedy and performed regularly at the Magic Castle in Hollywood doing both straight close-up magic and stage comedy magic. Very versatile variety talent!

play

03/14/23 • 23 min

On this second of two short interviews with comic-magician Greg Otto; where he shares how he was able to switch from close-up magic to comedy-magic, to standup comedy without any issues...amazing talent! He had success with the cruise lines, comedy clubs across the country, and as a long-time regular at Hollywood's Magic Castle. Bad audio quality due to disruptive phone connection; but good content just the same.
