Matt is one of the busiest professional comedy magicians around; he works corporate events, cruise ships, and comedy clubs. He is also in demand as a writer for television. You may  ave seen Matt on the fourth season of Penn & Teller: Fool Us. His experience on the show led him to an important insight, one I had not previously considered when I analyzed acts. I have shared that insight with some of the performers who have been booked for the show. I sat down with Matt  

Matt stopped by between Christmas and New Year’s Eve in 2018. We talked about magic, work, life, the universe, and everything. (January 2018)

I had a chance to chat with my old friend, Bruce Kalver.  He was the president of The Society of American Magicians when I was hired to be the editor of M-U-M. He authored several feature stories for me and also wrote one of the most popular columns in the magazine, Tech Tricks (which continues to this day). Bruce’s story is a fascinating one. He was born into a show-biz family, has performed professionally since age ten, hosted a popular radio show in Rhode Island, and is the creator and producer of the well-known Head Shrinker illusion. I spoke to Bruce via Skype. July 2019

Jeff Altman is an American stand-up comedian, actor, and magician who has appeared as a guest on Late Night with David Letterman and Late Show with David Letterman a combined 45 times.

I had a wonderful conversation with Jeff in January 2019.
