Thirty seconds with Mark Correia
This is the seventh 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 Mark Correia from Toronto, Ontario is probably best known for spending two weeks inside a straitjacket last summer, to raise awareness for Parkinson's Disease. In November 2014, Record Setter recognized Mark with a World Record for the "Longest Time Wearing a Straitjacket." Mark raised over $15 000 through his efforts.
When Mark's not being magical, he's probably treading the boards in the Dramatic Arts Program at The National Theatre School of Canada or acting professionally in Toronto.

FUN FACT:
Mark performed for Usher at The Magic Castle.
DID YOU KNOW?
- Mark's pre-show routine involves rolling up his pant-legs an hour before show time, and then rolling them down right before the show starts?
- Mark is also working on a book and documentary about his experience with the Escaping Parkinson's straitjacket endurance stunt. Keep an eye out for the book as early as this summer!.
Three year old Mark was bitten by the magic bug when "The Wacky Wizard" performed his (Mark's) birthday party. Mark started performing professionally at the age of five. He was at The Browser's Den of Magic when he first heard that Sorcerers Safari Magic and Performance Arts Camp was "the" place to be if you were a young performer interested in magic. One of his favourite things about camp is that you get to spend time with the people that literally wrote the books he reads. In fact, when Mark thinks about magic camp, it's the amazing special guests that come first to mind. Mark's spent seven seasons at Sorcerers Safari, two of which have been as a counsellor in training. Needless to say, camp feels like family to him.Mark performed for Usher at The Magic Castle.

David Peck interviews James Alan and Michael Close
From David Peck's website:
This week’s podcast was a fun one to record. Taped in front of a live enthusiastic and thoughtful audience this past December in downtown Toronto. I chatted with two magicians, on stage and post show, James Alan and Mike Close. The food was good, the magic terrific and the conversation engaging. Listen is as we talk about magic, wonder and reason in the 21st century.
