Thirty seconds with Chris Mayhew
This is the eleventh in a series of "Thirty
seconds with ..." interviews, so called because I approached the
interviewees at Sorcerers Safari Magic and Performance Arts Camp last summer with the idea that I
would interview them for 30 seconds. It didn't always work that way.
Professional magician Chris Mayhew, originally from Calgary but now living in Toronto thinks that Canada is a friendly place to be. He first came to Sorcerers Safari Magic Camp in 2013 with the task of creating the official camp video. He did such a great job, that he was back in 2014 as official camp videographer.
When not thinking about magic, Chris is likely thinking about videography.
Chris contributes to Five Academy Magic, has a solo lecture / show "MAYhew, MAYhem" and is also part of a comedy duo show "Sketchy Magic" with Chris Westfall. You can catch Sketchy Magic every Tuesday in April.

FUN FACT:
Chris prefers Oreos to store-bought chocolate chip cookies, but would take homemade chocolate chip cookies over Oreos any day!
DID YOU KNOW?
Chris considers himself to be shy.
Chris' first memory of magic is as a young teenager of 13, seeing the sign at the Vanishing Rabbit Magic shop in Calgary. It's not surprising that when he thinks about Sorcerers Safari, he thinks of magic! Chris encourages performers to take the time to make routines their own, and wishes that there weren't so many people out there spreading bad magic. His advice to aspiring magicians: "Learn what you can and make it work for you. Be sure to add yourself."Chris prefers Oreos to store-bought chocolate chip cookies, but would take homemade chocolate chip cookies over Oreos any day!

Toronto: "Sketchy Magic" with Chris Mayhew and Chris Westfall
I was lucky enough to attend Ring 17's Members' Night, where Chris Mayhew and Chris Westfall gave us a sneak peak of some of their upcoming show, "Sketchy Magic." One of the bits they did, was a routine I first saw David Acer and Richard Sanders perform back in 2001 at the very first CAM convention. The Chrises were every bit as entertaining as David and Richard! If the rest of "Sketchy Magic" is even half as good as what I saw, it's going to be a fantastic show.

Aaron Fisher interviews Chris Mayhew: A Series of Unfortunate Effects
A reminder that this film has it's Toronto premiere tomorrow night!
From Aaron Fisher Magic:
From Aaron Fisher Magic:
We're just a week from the launch & premiere of the most fun to watch, entertaining magic DVD I've ever seen. It's a fascinating, laugh out loud story of two Toronto magicians who go to extraordinary lengths to uncover the secrets of magic. In the process, both they and you (the audience!) discover a lot of great tricks – and some serious laughter.
Last week I did an in-depth video interview with Chris [Mayhew] about his own journey in magic, how he made his new movie and what we can all discover about magic from Chris's story. I learned a great deal talking with Chris – I suspect you will too.

Sorcerers Safari Magic & Performance Camp Documentary
Back in 2012, I posted about my experience at Sorcerer's Safari Magic and Performance Camp. The article was later republished with awesome photos by Carey Lauder.
This year, Chris Mayhew created a wonderful 30 minute documentary about the camp.
From Sorcerers Safari:
Don't have time to watch the full video? Watch the 3 minute teaser. It'll make you want to watch the full documentary!
Or you could just watch the dueling cardicians:

This year, Chris Mayhew created a wonderful 30 minute documentary about the camp.
From Sorcerers Safari:
After watching this documentary you’ll see what makes magic camp so special and why campers keep coming back year after year. While the grounds are amazing, the teaching is top quality and the nightly shows are stellar, magic camp is much more than the sum of its parts - this documentary helps explain why.The video captures much more about the camp than can be communicated through text alone.
