This week I am joined by my friend Eric Buss, a highly original entertainer who is known for his inventive comedy and magic. Eric has been featured on Americas Got Talent, Letterman and has gone viral on YouTube. I sat down with him to discuss the highs and lows of life in the entertainment business.

In this conversation Eric and I talk about:


• Stepping on Legos
• Becoming a parent
• Kids don’t understand timing
• Comedy magicians
• Categories are necessary
• What happened to originality?
• Hating movies about magic
• Professional show and tell
• Creating through contrast
• Going viral
• Letterman, Americas Got Talent, and YouTube
• Bubble wrap appreciation day
• Kids & Cats
• The internet… friend or foe?
• You never forget your first Troll
• Is magic on the rise?
• Knowing who your audience is
• Pursuing new venues for performance
• Out of control environments
• Improvising saves lives
• Everyone has a podcast, nobody has listened to one
• The Magic Castle
• Cali or Bust
• Magic clubs are the best
• Working with animals
• Losing sleep to work on your act
• Finding mentors in your field
• Cover bands verses Creators
• The myth of pack small play big
• Adding production value
• Combining magic and music
• We all want to be rock stars

... and struggling to suspend disbelief in movies
