Title: 2 Interviews: Steve Cohen & Simon Painter of "The Illusionists" & Magic on "Today"
Post by: Herb on December 13, 2014, 01:50:53 AM

Hi Folks - Here are links to three magic-related interviews and a piece from the Today show that I hope you'll find of interest. They're all from my blog covering the New York magic scene..

First is an interview with magician Steve Cohen about the making of his "Tycoons" playing cards. He also discusses his love of card magic and mentions a new online project that will showcase his close-up magic. I posted this already at the "Plethora" so some of you might have seen it.

I also have an interview with Simon Painter, the producer of The Illusionists and we discussed numerous topics relating to producing a big magic show on Broadway.

Finally, there is a link to a piece that aired Thursday on the Today show, featuring several of the local NYC magicians at The Magic Table at the Cafe Edison, where magicians gather on Fridays for lunch.
