Episode 92: Robert Hall is About to Break!

This week I am performing at the Loft Theater in beautiful Lake Tahoe. I sat down with my friend Robert Hall who is an accomplished Magician, Painter, and Dancer. We talk about his career in entertainment which began at the age of 15! Then we get into a philosophical discussion on the current state of magic as an art before eating more sushi than I thought was humanly possible. Another incredible episode that you won't want to miss!
