Get ready to be enchanted! In this episode of the Reading with Your Kids podcast, we had the pleasure of chatting with the acclaimed magician, Jeff McBride. Jeff shared his incredible journey into the world of magic and how it all started with a simple "pick a card" trick that changed the course of his life. Jeff's passion for magic is truly infectious. He explained how a deck of cards is a treasure trove of stories, with each suit and number representing different elements of the natural world. From the 52 cards symbolizing the weeks of the year to the four suits mirroring the seasons, Jeff showed us that magic is so much more than just sleight of hand - it's a gateway to storytelling and imagination. As a master of his craft, Jeff also shared his teaching philosophy. He emphasized the importance of not just learning magic tricks, but diving deep into the psychology, theater, and history behind the art. Jeff encourages his students, young and old, to explore the full spectrum of magic, from dance and acting to philosophy and folklore. One of the highlights of our conversation was Jeff's discussion on the power of repetition in storytelling. Drawing from the work of renowned child psychologist Bruno Bettelheim, Jeff explained how repeated exposure to stories helps children internalize the lessons and gain confidence by identifying with the protagonist. Whether you're a seasoned magician or simply looking to add a little wonder to your family's reading time, Jeff's insights are sure to inspire. So get ready to unlock the magic of storytelling and create cherished memories with your loved ones! We also had a chance to chat with Dr Andrea Clark. Dr Andrea, a clinical child psychologist, celebrates the importance of communal meals and emotional learning in her debut children's book, "Welcome Home, Indigo Owl," which explores themes of community, friendship, and emotional growth.

Mike Martini Taft Street Winery co-founder Mike Martini is our guest on California Wine Country with Steve Jaxon and Dan Berger today. Taft Street Wines is family owned and operated since 1979 including their time as home winemakers. They started officially as a bonded winery in 1982. Mike tells how his friends liked their wine so some of them decided to form a winery. They are bringing in grapes now on their forty-first harvest. Today, instead of a cellar wine, Dan Berger has brought a new Rosé from Chile, called Maquis Rosé, a blend of Cabernet Franc and Malbec. White Zinfandel saved the Zinfandel crop, and so that was important for the business, but people are making true Rosés now. Mike has brought six wines for tasting, two Pinot Noir, two 2021 Sauvignon Blanc and two Chardonnay. They will taste each pair, one against the other. The first Russian River Valley Sauvignon Blanc is special because there is not a lot of Sauvignon Blanc left in vineyards in the Russian River Valley AVA. It is high in acidity and was fermented in stainless steel. It is lemony, lean, crisp and delicate. The Sauvignon Blanc Explosion Sauvignon Blanc is in heavy demand these days, it's sold out everywhere. The second Taft Street Sauvignon Blanc is similar but it's two steps forward, because it has a little more lees contact and some barrel aging, so it is more like a Chardonnay. Dan says that both would benefit from three to five years. He might age the steely one for seven or more years, for its aroma to develop. Click the logo to visit our sponsor Bottle Barn online for the coolest bargains on wine, beer and spirits. Sauvignon Blanc is relatively rare in Russian River Valley, which is mostly Pinot Noir these days. Dan Berger says that a creative winemaker can play that game and win. Sauvignon Blanc from Russian River Valley is hot, yet there is even less of it than before. Taft Street Winery Tasting Room 2030 Barlow Lane in Sebastopol, north of Occidental Road, north of town. It is NOT in "The Barlow" which is a wonderful place with great businesses, but Taft Street Winery is "not at the Barlow!" for the record. Click the logo to visit our sponsor Rodney Strong for the latest on the 2022 Summer Concert series. Next they taste the two Chardonnays. Again, there are two different styles. The first is a generic stainless steel style Chard with only a small percentage saw some wood. Mike thinks this is what Russian River Valley Chardonnay tastes like. It has acquired some fruit and spice but hardly any of the oak flavors. The second glass is richer and more full-bodied. It was fermented in French oak and has some malolactic fermentation. Mike Martini readily admits that he is not the winemaker, and gives the credit to his winemaker Melissa Kuhn and consultants Jeff McBride and Guy Davis.

This week on Be On Air we had the honor of speaking with Tobias Beckwith. He is an author, producer, director, manager, magician, teacher, and speaker. Together we explored the power of words, identified ways to train for better communication, discussed what skills are valuable when growing a business and producing a live show and most importantly how magic can help everybody reach their dreams. This is a truly inspiring conversation, and we are delighted to share Tobias Beckwith's insight into the magic of voice and theater. After earning his master's degree and teaching theater arts at the University of Pittsburgh for several years, Tobias moved to NYC to discover what the real world of theater might be like. He landed on the management and production teams of the long-running Fantastiks and Oh! Calcutta!, and spent two years working on the original Broadway and first touring show of Sweeney Todd. Tobias began helping Jeff McBride develop his first full evening show in 1976, and in 1988 became Jeff's manager and producer for all his shows. He has worked as manager for Jeff McBride and Marco Tempest for many years and has worked as both director and advisor for many other magicians.

In Folge #13 des GG Magic Performer Podcasts besprechen Daniel Hank und Madou Mann, wie man durch einige Tipps und Tricks mehr Folgebuchungen aus Auftritten generieren und dadurch seinen Umsatz nach oben schrauben kann. Jeder Auftrag den wir hatten war irgendwann mal zu Ende und es geht danach wieder auf die Suche nach dem Nächsten. Unsere Website und unsere Profile auf Künstlerplattformen wie beispielsweise Eventpeppers oder Partymat helfen uns da schon sehr stark bei weiter, doch wäre es nicht großartig, wenn wir aus unseren bisherigen Aufträgen auch direkt Folgeaufträge generieren könnten? Dadurch würden wir nämlich durch nur eine Buchung gleich mindestens eine Weitere generieren! Einerseits würde das natürlich zu einer Erhöhung deines Umsatzes sowie auch der Chance auf weitere Folgeaufträge geben! Doch wie kann ich das schaffen? Wie kann ich aus Aufträgen mehr Aufträge generieren? Und bei Folgebuchungen geht es nicht einmal unbedingt darum, dass dich Personen aus dem Publikum buchen, für das du gezaubert hast. Es kann genauso gut die Location sein in der du aufgetreten bist! Ob Gastronomie oder Hotel, überall liegt versteckt Potenzial für neue Aufträge, ihr müsst es nur entdecken und die Möglichkeit direkt ergreifen! Nehmt euch die Angst und sprecht einfach die Personen an, in denen ihr Potenzial seht! Mehr als ein „Nein“ könnt ihr schließlich nicht bekommen und wenn es gut läuft habt ihr euch möglicherweise sogar eine langjährige Kooperation aufgebaut, aus der ihr großen Nutzen ziehen könnt. Wie ihr genau das erreichen könnt und zum Beispiel weiterhin aus euren Visitenkarten das größtmögliche Potenzial herausholen könnt, erfahrt ihr in dieser Folge des GG Magic Performer Podcasts! Mit wertvollen Tipps und Tricks unter anderem von internationalen Größen wie Wolfgang Moser oder Jeff McBride erklären dir Daniel und Madou, wie du deutlich einfacher in Zukunft an Folgebuchungen herankommen wirst! Wir wünschen dir jetzt ganz viel Spaß beim Hören und viel Erfolg dabei mehr Folgeaufträge aus deinen Auftritten zu generieren!

This week I talked with a dear friend, Bryce Kuhlman from Phoenix (www.brycekuhlman.com, www.wisdomrobot.com). I met him at Jeff McBride’s Magic and Mystery School in Las Vegas in the late nineties. As faculty members we performed and taught classes, we went to festivals, we did workshops both in Amsterdam and Phoenix, we spent several vacations together with our partners and we’ve met online every week for almost ten years. In the podcast you’ll understand why this is a neverending exchange of ideas and creating products. He shares how he’s deeply motivated by discovery and won’t accept failure. That also helps him to fight through adversity.

TheCreationGame® met George Parker - Tussen Verbeelding & Realiteit
Eind jaren negentig trok ik de stoute schoenen aan en reisde voor het eerst naar Las Vegas om een masterclass bij Jeff McBride (www.mcbridemagic.com) en Eugene Burger te volgen (www.magicalwisdom.com). Ik leerde niet alleen maar het was de start van een lange, intense vriendschap. Jeff is niet alleen een van de beste en gulste leraren die ik ken, hij is een wandelende encyclopedie op het gebied van performance magic en de oorsprong ervan. En die ligt, voor velen verrassend genoeg, niet in entertainment. Luister naar de podcast om ons te horen praten over de diepere lagen achter entertainment.
TheCreationGame® met George Parker - Tussen Verbeelding & Realiteit
(This podcast is in English.) I met Christos Kritikos at a Magic & Mystery School Masterclass by Jeff McBride who will be on the podcast in a couple of weeks. I was a guest teacher and discovered that Christos travels through the world as a tour guide and through the mind as a magician. We talk about the relationship between performance magic (tricks) and life magic (transformation), why many magicians lose their sense of wonder and only focus on tricks. We dive deep into the background and purpose of magic and alchemy, mindreading, hypnosis, divination, religion and how this knowledge helps him to turn life into something interesting and overcome adversities in his life.

Kenton Knepper (www.wonderwizards.com) is a world famous mentalist. As a magician he influences the mind in impressive ways. We both teach at Jeff McBride’s Magic and Mystery School in Las Vegas and have had many in-depth conversations about the art of magic and about transformation. But we’ve never talked this long about his other love: music. In this conversation we explore his own transformation to acknowledging the musician in him. And a very special type of musician: one who touches people and influence their lives for the better with sounds.
Nationally touring, Brooklyn based comic Brian Enck examines COURAGE in stand-up comedy. It takes courage to start and to keep going. It takes courages to speak your "truth" or to speak candidly about your flaws, mistakes, or personal weirdness. It takes courage to look the fool. Yet it's that vulnerability that can yield some of the most powerfully funny comedy experiences. What are some tricks performers use to get the courage to act despite those fears? We cover this and a lot more via bits by Dave Chappelle, Tig Nataro, Brian Enck, and Jeff McBride.

We’ve got more episodes on the way, but it’s summer. Weddings, relationships, shows, etc. In the meantime, have a listen to a comedian Sandip Sen, Harrison Tweed, and Jeff McBride just geek the fuck out about the sadly deceased comedy genius, Greg Giraldo. We listen to his closing bit, called “Happy Birfday” from his 2009 album "Midlife Vices." We’re so giddy over it that we don’t even have a decent analysis between three of us. Then we listen to one little joke from George Carlin that shows what you can make funny once you’ve been doing it for four decades.
Jeff McBride and Sandip Sen host this early episode, and they have a blast diving into Patrick's bit about how he is keenly aware of his desire for attention and how he can relate it to a very taboo subject...but no spoilers.
The Rules of Acquisition: A Star Trek Deep Space Nine Podcast
24th century music sucks. Dax plays a song, becomes a moody teenager, and learns that her hormones are all out of whack.

But mostly slugs! Lots of trying to figure out what the heck the deal with Trills are. Plus we read some emails this week. Can you put us in our place? Feel free to give us your thoughts 917 408-3898!
Jeff McBride and Sandip Sen hosted this early episode, and they couldn't get over how clever Kevin's abstract associations were in his bit, "The Boys From Brazil." They talk about how long it can take to make those connections. They then joyfully tear down some Brian Regan and John Mulaney comedy gold.

Jeff McBride Jeff talks about magic mystery and deception and magic as “effect without a casue.” He has plenty of wisdom and insight to share on the art of practice, discipline, and “expert simplicity” and about the power of possibility. Biography Jeff McBride, named Magician of the Year by The Magic Castle in Los Angeles, is recognized as a foremost innovator in contemporary magic. New York Times columnist Glenn Collins writes, "What Mr. McBride gives his audiences is a mesmerizing performance...a magic show that is at once a celebration of mystery and a struggle to understand powerful forces." McBride most recently headlined at Caesars Magical Empire in Las Vegas, where he was voted critics' choice as Best Magician in Las Vegas in the Review-Journal annual poll. He is featured on the PAX TV series, "Masters of Illusion." Earlier this year, McBride previewed his new theatrical show, The Forbidden Secret of Magic with Eugene Burger and Abbi Spinner at Magicopolis magic theatre in Los Angeles, and presented his new grand illusion spectacular, Jeff McBride - Abracadazzle!, to standing ovations at the Claridge in Atlantic City. On television, McBride's spectacular "Burned Alive!" escape highlighted the ABC TV special "Champions of Magic." He is also featured on the current PBS documentary, "The Art of Magic," and on all three episodes of "The Mysteries of Magic" on The Learning Channel. His show McBride - Magic! was the featured attraction at the Monte Carlo Festival of Magic. This followed a featured appearance on "World's Greatest Magicians" for NBC. Earlier that season McBride guest starred on TV's Star Trek: Deep Space Nine as Joran, a role created especially for him. McBride's signature fusion of mask, myth, drama and illusion reflects his lifelong study of magic's multi-cultural roots. His first full-evening show, Mask, Myth & Magic, won acclaim Off-Broadway and on national tour, as well as at arts festivals in Barcelona (for the 1992 Olympics), London, Hong Kong, China, and Bangkok. Prior to going solo, McBride was the opening act of choice for Tina Turner, Diana Ross, and other top stars. He has been profiled in Elle Magazine, Town & Country, Harpers and dozens of other publications worldwide. In addition to his work as a performer, McBride is a much sought-after lecturer and workshop leader for such diverse groups as The Smithsonian, The Disney Institute, the International Brotherhood of Magicians, the Center for Symbolic Studies and others. McBride is founder of The Mystery School, a unique experiential retreat for magicians (and subject of an acclaimed 1994 CBC-TV documentary hosted by Arthur Kent), and creator and co-founder of the WorldMagicsTM Festivals, multi-cultural celebrations of the environment, or "enviro-magic." His video-taped series teaching "The Art of Card Manipulation" is among the best selling magic teaching videos of all time. With Eugene Burger, he has created and teaches regular sessions of "McBride's Master Class" at his home studio in Las Vegas, as well as semi-annual retreats for the further exploration of the magical arts.

This financial wizard gives great practical information on how entertainers should manage their finances for their business. This is not an episode to miss! Eric Henning is a magician from the DC area who’s magic has taken him around the world. He’s had the honor of performing for President Obama and the First Family, as well as three Presidential Inaugurals and five other White House appearances to boot. As for accolades, He’s been voted DC Magician of the year, and made it to the quarter-finals of the World Championships of Public Speaking. He’s also an international speaker, author and teacher on the subject of money and investing. He was senior editor of The Cornerstone Investment Letter, and he also wrote “The Financial Wizard,” which was a regular column in The Magic Menu where he shared his insights on money and how it pertains to entertainment professionals. Success Mantras: Do it now! — his wife For example, get that client thank you card in the mail immediately after a show. Failure Story: Eric's very first show was a complete failure. He will now never step on stage until he is completely prepared. Financial Wizardry • Bankruptcy is the biggest mistake Eric sees other entertainers make. • Pay off your debts. It releases more money for you. • Pay off your house if you can. It's flawed and stupid thinking to keep your mortgage around just for the "tax break." • Gives a tip on how you can pay off your mortgage faster. • Save up an emergency fund. • Make sure you're properly insured. • Don't be reactive, plan your spending. • Small leaks sink great ships. Look at all the places you're spending money and evaluate whether you really need to put money there. We're talking Starbucks, Netflix, etc. • Invest in mutual funds once you've paid off your debts and saved an emergency fund. • It's wise to hold back 50% for taxes of what you bring in. (Note: Eric is NOT a tax expert. You should seek the advice of a tax professional for more in depth advice pertaining to you and your unique situations.) • Of everything you earn, you should save 10%, give away 10% and live off the other 80%. • There's a relationship between your giving and generousness and your own wellbeing. • Your business needs to have it's own bank account and it's own money. You pay yourself out of it. Biggest Professional Challenge Inertia. Getting stuck in a rut. Transition Strategy Before you "jump ship:" 1. Pay off your debts. 2. Build a savings of 12 month's expenses. 3. Make sure you're at least making as much money from performing as you are from your day job. Other Topics Covered • How important and rare hand-written notes are in business. • The impostor syndrome and how to overcome it. • How to make sure you're prepared for performances. • Developing original material. • What audiences remember.
