I am constantly expanding my knowledge base by studying everything I can get
my hands on whether it is in print or video.
I also attend lectures and conferences as often as I can in order to
refine my skills through the application of techniques presented by
professionals in the clowning, balloon and magic fields.
Recently, I attended a lecture given by Rich Marotta who is a
professional, comedy magician with over 20 years of experience and over 2000
shows in more than 200 venues. He has been a regular performer at the famous
Magic Castle in Los Angeles and is an inventor of some amazing magic effects. He
is currenty performing at the Snapple Theater in New York City.
This was a very intimate gathering of about 30 people or so all of whom share
a voracious interest in comedy and magic. We sat spellbound as Rich performed
some of his hilarious and amazing feats of magic all while explaining the
methodology, motivation and showmanship required to successfully execute a magic
routine in an entertaining manner. Lots of ideas were shared and yours truly was
on top of it all taking copius amounts of notes eager to expand my knowledge
base.
What great night!
