Rich Purpura to me took me under his wing when I joined Disney Cruise Lines in 2006. I really enjoyed his company. When Rich was your friend you were safe in Disney Land. Everyone knew Rich. He is rich in personality, performance, in Comedy Magic and anecdotes and boy if you were out with Rich he acted as your security so you would not have to queue anywhere you went. Above all else, he was hilarious to have as a friend on and off stage.Rich talks about his time over here in the UK in the late 80's early 90's, working Windsor and The Albert Hall, working Comedy Clubs and the majority of his work on Cruise Ships Worldwide. The story of the Captain's Cocktail Party Fiasco has to be heard to be believed. Sit back and enjoy the Chicago way of my friend, Micky Mouse's friend Rich Purpura.

2-Minute Tip: Don’t waste you first 10 seconds   When you go out on that stage you are a blank slate with the audience . They don’t know you. They’re not bored with you — yet. Now is when you have the best chance to grab their attention and interest.   So plan it out. Don’t leave your opening 10 seconds to chance or peter it away on, “How is everyone doing today?”   Tell a story. Tease the content. Surprise them. Comfort them. Or get right down to valuable business. But whatever you decide to do, make it deliberate and within your control.   Post Tip Discussion: Meet Magician, Speaker, and Coach Matt Fore   Matt Fore’s career has really been full of adventure. From proudly showcasing magic in high school, to jumping on last minute cruises as a performer, to coaching entertainers hoping to grow their own businesses, he’s got stories to fill 10 episodes.   What jumped out about him in this conversation is the humbleness with which he presents himself. There’s no over-the-top bragging here. It’s just a lot of simple practical advice and moments that had me laughing throughout the episode.   Bio   Matt Fore is a Humorist, Writer, Speaker and Comedy Magician who routinely serves as the main stage performer for Corporate, Association and Faith based events around the country as he has for more than twenty-four years.    He has performed for Carnival Cruise Lines, The Magic Castle in Hollywood and has appeared on several national TV Shows including The Crook & Chase Show on TNN, Fox Sports and Swan’s Place on Odyssey. Matt is a contributor to Success.com, Entrepreneur.com and is the author of two books, “The Five Essential Elements – A Simplified Road to Success,” and his very popular comedy devotional “The Truth Shall Make You Laugh.” He is a lecturer among his peers in the areas of entertainment, sleight of hand magic and effective marketing.   He lives in Johnson City TN with his author wife Jo Ann. They have three or four kids. He is not sure because he spends much of his time on the road.    Minnie Pearl   Matt’s early efforts at speaking in grade school were centered around Minnie Pearl. But what if you don’t know who Minnie Pearl is? Well, that’s why God and Google gave us YouTube     Introverts vs Extroverts   Matt describes himself as an introvert. Many speakers do. Personally, I go back and forth between the two poles so I guess I’m more of an ambivert.   A lot of people assume introvert means shy so how can an introvert be comfortable on stage?   Because the concept of an introvert is more nuanced than that. Generally, introverts lose energy engaging with other individuals and recharge in more quiet, individualistic activities. Extroverts are just the opposite. They soak up energy from the people around them. They thrive on personal engagement with other people.   Public speaking at first glance seems optimized for extroverts since you’re in a room with dozens or hundreds or thousands of people.   In reality, though, you aren’t in a personal engagement with all those people. You are on stage doing your own thing. You’re working to engage all those people at once and, while it’s important to think about those people and the value you are there to deliver, it’s ultimately a solo activity. It’s you and the concept of the audience. It’s an individual approach. You can leave all your energy on stage to land your message and succeed.   It’s a heck of a lot easier than schmoozing at the networking party later.   Let People Help   After and before an event, people may want to help you out. If you’ve been doing this a while, you may not need that help. In fact it may slow you down and throw off your entire routine. Or you may want to not burden those folks. Let them help, anyway. Prepare ahead of time some tasks you can ask folks to do when the offer assistance.   You’re doing them a favor.   Them offering to help you is how they are trying to forge a connection or a relationship with you. Most of us aren’t “famous” in the traditional world, but in the context of a speaking event, the speaker is a star. For some people this will be their brush with fame for the day, and they’ll be thrilled to talk about the part they played in your day in the years to come.   Accepting help also validates that they have value. That they can contribute even in some small way.   And that’s a simple thing you can do to leave an even more positive feeling with your audience.   Links   Entertainment Marketing Academy https://www.entertainersmarketingacademy.com/ Matt Fore Entertainment https://www.mattfore.com/ Matt’s books on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Matt-Fore/e/B01F4LY17W Matt at Success.com https://www.success.com/author/matt-fore/ Matt at the Huffington Post https://www.huffpost.com/author/matt-fore Matt on Entrepreneur.com https://www.entrepreneur.com/author/matt-fore Victoria Mavis on 2-Minute Talk Tips http://2minutetalktips.com/magic   Call To Action   Visit MattFore.Com to learn more about Matt and his projects, or check out the Entertainer’s Marketing Academy to learn how you can book more gigs.

Matt Disero and a Gender Neutral Potato Head To think my impressionable years-- the years right out of high school where life looks you in the eyes and says something to the effect of "I'm gonna count to ten so you can get off my property before I shoot" those years that followed are pretty crazy times, looking back at it. New freedoms. New responsibilities.  Along the way you discover the resting version of your self -- through all of the chaos.  You assembly random pieces together of your interests and social skills combined with your hobbies and passions and hopes and dreams and all those pieces come together in this Mr. or Mrs Potato head creation and underneath are the colourful plastic letters "Y-O-U" There tends to be a lot of carnage during this time of self discovery.  Using our Potato analogy some people are always looking for pieces, or hating the ones they have, or wanting someone elses or wishing theirs was bigger, maybe both bigger I dunno.  No my monkey.  But in all this chaos of learning and failing it's possible you lose a nose or an ear-- metaphorically speaking again, unless you're a terrible juggler.  All of this stuff happened to everyone there's university or college or becoming a parent or backpacking through Europe and for some people all this discover happens in front of 500 to 3000 daily-- for weeks, for years.  It turns some people weird, man. Good weird and bad weird. I bring this up for two reasons.  First, all beginners look at their idol Potato Heads (I can image Russett Peters or magicians GoldFingerlings and Dove) they look at all these amazing artists and duplicate without realizing that not all pieces fits. But they try and they jam, and wedge.  It's part of growth. It is also the wrong way of thinking about it.  But maybe time only teaches that.  It's possible.  Maybe just a good metaphor will do. Take out the duplicate ears and put back the mustache, change the eyes and remove the sunglasses.  Nobody likes a dick wearing sunglasses. Once you can stand and be you-- you gotta then spin around and toss the extra stuff in your butt. Alright-- this Mr Potato head metaphor has it's limits but for someone listening who may work in front of an audience or want to-- this may be the most important message you hear--  that's the second reason I bring all this up.  I had a great chat with the gentlemen I'm about to introduce you too and we had a fascinating discussion about art.  I've been mulling over it ever since and I think this is a pretty reasonable way to explain it.  The artist equation is: THE ARTIST EQUATION: Truest You + Originality + Hard work = Artist. I'm open to discussion about it-- but that seems pretty logical to me and it's express in percentages.  The truer you are to yourself combined with hard work and originality is the amount of artist.  How do you stack up? How's your self measurement look? That's what I'm learning anyway-- and I can talk about it because I'm on that journey again.  I had taken a step away from magic for a while, at least emotionally-- its my only job and it pays my bills.  I love always love performing, man I love that part of it-- it's the magic part for me that I'm struggling with.  Magic is unusual, arguably weird, difficult and technical and comes with  a lot of stupid jokes from people thinking they are funny.  That's one of the hardest things. How do you damage to that?  It's precious.  How do you say to someone, the essence of "I commend your effort-- but these withered magicians bones have been impaled by the spears of so many terrible magic jokes.  It's painful and I grown weak and it's just down right not funny. " A comedian buddy of mine gave me these two possible responses from now on, apparently I should respond with either "Thanks for your attempt at magic humor-- please die" or the ever trusted  "Go fuck yourself" But I'm much too nice for that kind of silliness so I'm thinking about starting a private Joke Support Group on Facebook.  Probably named with a clever acronym. But when come to the important stuff current version of yourself that's line it up with your material and committed crossing the minefield of magic jokes-- it becomes the truest version of you for  your audience.  You are the brightest version of yourself--  And we don't know how to measure that, we don't know how to describe that in units-- hell I just used a potato to try, but its measurable because you can FEEL it.  An audience is given that from a performer. That's the gift, the price of admission. I grew up at the end of the golden age of touring and so did the gentlemen I'm talking with today-- his name is Matt Disero and this is Touring Tricks.
