WORLD RECORD HEIGHTS: In this Canadian Conjuror's Interview, we are chatting with Doug 'the Great' Hunt, a man who has been raising the bar for decades!
On October 21st, Doug will attempt to re-take the World Record, and in this interview, we discuss the challenges, benefits and strategies for planning a stunt of this scale (and height.)
Here are a few topics we'll cover: - Media stunts and how they can skyrocket your presence in your community. - The art of turning passion into powerful promotion, drawing from Doug's upcoming world-record attempt. - Lessons and gems from decades of experience offer actionable advice for emerging and seasoned magicians. - The undeniable importance of community in the magic world and the evolving role of magic clubs in our digital age.
From the importance of community and magic clubs in our ever-digital world to the art of crafting unforgettable media stunts, this 25-minute interview is packed with insights and stories that every magician, both aspiring and seasoned, will find invaluable.
Note to parents of young children: The music can be very loud
at times throughout the show. There's also a smoke machine
involved. Forewarned is forearmed.
There's a videographer on hand
to capture close-up miracles and project them nice and big on a screen so
everyone can see!
Regular readers of the blog have probably guessed that this would be our
summary of the show:
So. Much. Fun!
The show includes a majority of their well polished, finely tuned pieces
from Champions of Magic, performed with the same high energy and
enthusiasm we've come to expect from the duo.
The full show format provides an opportunity for each performer to share their
individual strengths and personality.
It is a highly interactive show. By our count at least 22 volunteers
were selected from the audience.
Both Young and Strange have well-honed close-up skills.
Strange does beautiful card manipulation. He also did some very bold sleight of hand in the palm of a spectator.
Young made many new Canadian friends performing close-up magic in the
audience. On more than one occasion he elicited very visceral responses from the spectators (myself included).
A wide variety of magical effects were demonstrated that included: citrus arts &
crafts, smart phones, kidney beans, a smattering of mentalism, bills, watches,
ribbon, coins, and of course, cards!
Aerialist Michelle Mazzarella dazzled.
It's always a treat to see Young and Strange perform Gerry Frenette's
original illusion. (As an added bonus, Gerry and Leonora were
also in the audience and we were able to visit with them too!)
The audience ATE. IT. ALL. UP. They were very much engaged throughout the show. Kids and adults. Especially the finale!
After the final blackout at the curtain call, you could hear a chorus of
audience members shouting for "one more!" for quite some time!
If you're not able to catch Young and Strange Delusioniststhis year, you may be able to see them as part of the
Champions of Magic ensemble touring in 2023 - 2024. Check
the Champions of Magic website
for current tour information. [At this time, Canadian dates include Toronto (Dec 27 - 29), Regina (Mar 17), and Edmonton (Mar 22 - Apr 6).]
