Directions Column Magic Magazine 2012

During the year 2012, the Directions column will be a new format. The video and column will stand alone of one another rather than having the same content. Their subject will be the same but the info offered within will be different.

Normally you must be a Magic Magazine subscriber to view the video, but the first month is open to all.

Nobu & Masaya

In July 2011,Dr Shigeru Tashiro brought two of his magic students,

Masaya Yamane and Nobuo Kamizuru, to Las Vegas.

Dr. Tashiro booked sessions with me with both young magicians.

We worked at my studio. I was so impressed with them I wrote an article about our experience.

You can see their acts before we started working and the changes we made.

I worked with each young man for only four hours.
You can see the videos at http://www.magicmagazine.com/demos-downloads/directions/2011_09_masaya_before.html

Just back from Brad Ross’ The It Factor Live in New Jersey.

I did two workshops and a lecture with a wonderful group of performers. Brad Ross offered lectures and marketing advice. Michael Goudeau did a lecture about comedy writing and performing. A good time was had by all.

My film Born To Die was part of the 2004 Cinevegas Film Festival in the Nevada Filmmakers category. The film addressed the pet overpopulation problem in Las Vegas and nationwide, an important issue to me.
