From Mystified Live:
In what has been one of the most talked about episodes in the short history of this podcast, Magician and Improv Comedian Ryan Pilling joined us for one of our more hysterical episodes. While he was here Ryan talked about his career as an improv comedian / magician and how he was currently working on a new show, which debuted shortly after his appearance. We are happy to report that Ryan now has a brand new book out titled Finding The Funny: A Professional Entertainer's Guide To Improvisation, Ad-Libs And Audience Interaction.

The book covers it all from when to improvise all the way to how to practice and work with your audience. This book is a must have if you are an entertainer.You can learn more about Finding The Funny at Playing Big Magic.

From the Garden Variety Show newsletter:
If that wasn't enough talent, the show's hosted by magicians James Jordan and Ryan Pilling!
April 26, 2012 - 7:30 pm
Past the halfway point and entering the home stretch, the Garden Variety Show has almost finished their third season. Spectacular juggling, mind blowing magic and illusions, and some of the best stand up comedians in Canada. Every show seems to be better than the last, leaving every audience member with something wonderful to try and describe the next day at work.
This month on the Garden Variety Show, magician and expert balloon sculptor TD Sparks will be premiering a brand new magic effect, never before seen in Calgary. YoYo master Song Yao will amaze and astound, along with our juggler Jeff Olynek. As usual we feature a local singer song writer every month, this month Kaley Kinjo bass player for the Plaid Tounged Devils and so many other popular Calgarian bands will present us with his unique solo project.
