Do you believe in magic? Magic that makes you feel groovy like an old time movie? When did the awe and wonder of magic become corny and the domain of creepy men at birthday parties?
Today we are joined by the fresh faced award winning comedy-magician John Sturk. He’s here to tell us about the history of modern magic and what it takes to make a living pulling rabbits out of your hat.

fun show!!! he seems like a cool magician…but if he wants some tips on hot to hit on people with magic, he should watch this video, and make the changes to apply it to gay men instead
then maybe John could be as awesome as this magician….
dunno if this vid will embed properly tho….
dammit..I can never embed videos in comments….

Awesome episode boys & an awesome quirky subject to cover! And I LOVE magic and all of it’s tricks =v9.
I love magic and magicians. I live near The Magic Castle in Los Angeles and use to hang out in a magic store performing for awhile… nothing major. But it was fun. I’m sorry that one of you didn’t seem so into the magic (I know you can’t interview people / subjects you are into all the time). but I am glad you brought him onboard to interview.
AS a PS, I am finally turning the corner on my financial straights, and although it has been rather slow for the past few months, I will try my darndest to start making a monthly donation to you guys. Wish I could do more, but since you bring me so much gay info and help so many others I can hope to help keep you guys a little or close to being in the black.
You guys were on fire in this podcast. LOL Loved it!
Aww thanks Modo! We were pretty loopy when we taped it.
I knew it! 😛
Fantastic show!
You guys also talked about the income equality in the USA. Here is a list of countries. Just click on UN Gini or CIA Gini which are good measurments to sort them.

I am suprised that even in Russia the income, although Moscow is full of mafia millionares, is more equally distributed than in the US. I still don’t understand how Obama could extend the tax cuts for rich people with an income higher than $250.000 a year.

My fellow expats were passing around this link, which is also frightful and illuminating.
According to this, if you lived here Angela, you’d be knocked up and rich, not a bad deal, but probably also living with AIDS and driving a gaz guzzling SUV all the time.
As an artist, no, I’d be broke pretty much anywhere I lived, but my partner’s a programmer which made it easy to expatriate; he did take a pay cut moving from the US to New Zealand, but having earned permanent residence we can now take advantage of that sweet sweet socialized medicine. 😀
What that link doesn’t mention is that NZ has a very small low-density population (4 million spread over an area the size of California), so it’s less crowded AND lower in crime and pollution, and is vastly more secular (only 50% Christian, and not of the gun-toting clinic-bombing kind). All pluses in my book!
Great tool as I love statistics.
I am sure you would make a great rich Octomom, Seawall. Think about it!
We need to do a show about the expectation of poverty that artists put on themselves. Something along these lines:

Anyone want to produce it? (Producers book the guest, write intros, questions)
Andy, don’t even joke, I have the same birthday as Octomom! I fear the day my horoscope tells me to start abusing IVF 😉
Fausto, that’d be a great show; I was mostly being flippant about being broke, but I’m also overcoming years of negative feedback from well-meaning individuals over the viability of the arts, and have to turn to peers in the field for my only source of support and info. I could suggest one guest whose blog I follow; if she’s keen she might co-produce.
Paying your taxes when you make a quarter of a million a year should be the least of your worries.
Right! Obama should have doubled their taxes after the Bush tax cuts.
On another note, isn’t it refreshing to have the site loading faster? Ahhhhhhhh
Yes, particular when you use a mobil phone.
Amazing how much a little lub at the right place can do.
