Ryan Pilling: Finding The Funny

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. (How's that for a mouthful?) The book serves as a how-to for those looking to add a little humor to their act be it comedy, magic, juggling or anything in between. 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.

Luc Langevin has Vegas in his sights!

From le journal de quebec:

Cette première tournée sera colossale, promet encore Luc Langevin, qui s’entourera de créateurs identifiés au Cirque du Soleil pour apporter un emballage visuel, qui se démarquera. Il apportera donc de nouveaux numéros, en évitant les clichés des habituels spectacles de magie. « Non, je n’aurai pas une aguichante assistante à mes côtés, dit-il en riant. Je serai seul en scène; à l’occasion, des techniciens graviteront bien sûr autour de moi. »
