It was a jam-packed episode as we got to hear stories of Brandon and his brother putting together a sideshow act. We also discussed some of the benefits to performing on a limited budget. Some of which are: being resourceful, getting to think outside of the typical creative box and putting a personal touch on your props. We then got the details on his new DVD, 'The Changes'. The project consists of 2 versatile color changes, one of which was his own original creation  The DVD is slated for release this May and is being distributed by the folks over at System 6 Magic.

Paul Vigil: Magic, Mindreading and Mystery

Former guest, Magician, Paul Vigil has been mesmerizing audiences at the King Ink Tattoo Parlor and Lounge in The Mirage for the last 3 years. It had become one of the most highly regarded hidden gems in the city of Las Vegas. It's not often that you can find a show on The Strip with no admission but that's exactly what Paul offered. A high caliber, fine tuned, mind blowing show for free. That era came to a close several weeks ago, and the crew of Mystifyed Live was there witness it.

Fellow entertainers, tourists and locals packed the lounge to catch a glimpse of the man who famously fooled Magicians, Penn and Teller. The energy was high as Paul captivated the audience with his magic, sophistication and charm. His coin routine saw four quarters travel from one side of the table to the other. He paid tribute to the magicians of the past by performing the classic Egg Bag routine; causing an egg to appear and disappear without explanation. With plenty of laughs, crowd participation, and of course, moments of mystery, the evening came to a close with a well deserved standing ovation.

We want to congratulate Paul on a fantastic last show. He has contributed a great deal to the magic community and will no doubt continue to leave his mark wherever he goes. As we mentioned, Paul was a formerly a guest on Mystifyed Live. If you would like to check out our interview with Paul as well as the special bonus footage from his appearance on our show, you can download it for free on iTunes and check out the recap HERE.

Winning With Jeff Civillico

www.WinWinEntertainment.org

Las Vegas Juggler and Comedian, Jeff Civilico, is also the founder of a local organization called Win-Win Entertainment. The organization connects with charities in the Las Vegas area and provides them with entertainers for many of their events. Some of the charities include: The Boulder City Hospital Foundation, Aid for AIDS of Nevada, American Cancer Society of Las Vegas and many others. When he is not performing daily at the Quad Hotel and Casino, he is giving back to the community in hopes of spreading joy to those who need it most.

The idea for Win-Win Entertainment started after Jeff performed a series of charity shows while still in college. He found extreme reward in doing these shows and it was something very dear to his heart, but now he was looking to do it in an even bigger way. He began to connect with other entertainers who shared the same joys and Win-Win was born. Former guests of Mystifyed Live, Justin Flom and Aaron Radatz have signed up to be apart of this amazing group along with many other Vegas entertainers. 

Juggler and Comedian, Jeff Civillico

Mystifyed Live Reviews: The Incredible Burt Wonderstone

Steve Carell As "Burt Wonderstone" on 'Magic Magazine'

After years of waiting, magic is back in theaters thanks to the release of 'The Incredible Burt Wonderstone'! The film has been the talk of the magic community long before it was officially announced over a year and a half ago. It was a really enjoyable movie and we wanted to give you our thoughts on this highly anticipated release.

The movie begins in a manner familiar to most magicians. Burt discovers magic thanks to a kit that his mom got him for his birthday. Throughout his discovery he gains confidence and eventually forms a partnership with his best friend. The two go on to become headliners in Vegas and are faced with twists and turns along the way. One thing that sticks throughout a majority of the film is the personification of many classic magic stereotypes. We see everything from wild costumes and elaborate presentations, to plenty of corny catchphrases. Although the movie pokes fun at magicians, it is done in a tasteful and non-offensive way. As magicians, we know our idiosyncrasies very well and can laugh at ourselves.

After reading other reviews labeling the movie to be lack-luster, it seems that people had felt that pairing Steve Carell and Jim Carrey in a movie once again would bring the same level of humor as in other movies in which they co-stared. It simply took a different direction focusing on self discovery and encouraging the audience to push themselves to the next level. However, the movie did not fall short in humorous moments.  We felt it was a good blend of comedy and inspiration. It gave a humorous but honest look at some of the things magicians face as they go through life. The story mixes in what it's like to taste success, having to make difficult changes, and re-discovering magic, all while learning about yourself and what magic really means to you.

Overall the film was fantastic.  If you enjoy an inspiring story, witty comedy, and a little bit of magic, then this movie is a must see! We would love to hear your thoughts. Leave us a comment below.

Mystifyed Live! Episode 26-- Norman Bigelow

Season 4, Episode 1

 Mystifyed Live kicked of Season 4 with one of the biggest names in the world of escapes, Escape Artist and Author Norman Bigelow. He came out of retirement to join us for an episode back in Season 2. Since that time, he has put together a college lecture as well as a follow up book to his Houdini expose, "Death Blow" detailing his theory that Harry Houdini may have been murdered. He joins us on our season premier to talk about the release of his new book "The Original Houdini Murder Theory".

His new book contains a copy of "Death Blow" as well as a whole host of new and fascinating information. It explores Houdini's rarely documented religious beliefs including that of reincarnation. It also sheds more light on exposing fraudulent mediums and how angry they got at Houdini. This level of anger gives those people motive and lends more weight to the theory of murder. With all of this sensitive information being presented, Norman is calling this his most controversial publication to date.

Escape Artist and Author, Norman Bigelow

 Even though he has been controversial in his views, he hopes that by constantly stirring the pot these thought provoking conversations will continue. With his previous publications they were only made available to those in the escapology and magic communities. However, his new book will be released to the general public. In releasing this new book he wants people to see a new side of the Houdini story and point them in a new direction to finding out more. He wants to inspire young magicians to ask more questions, look deeper and discover new ways of gathering historical information.

We want to thank Norman for being on the show with us tonight. This was a great way to kick off the 4th season of Mystifyed Live. He has paved the way for researchers and magicians alike, to learn new and startling facts about one of magics biggest heroes. We will release more information on his new book when it becomes available. To hear the full interview, please download the episode for free from our iTunes page.

Our incredible line-up of guests have included some of the brightest minds in the entertainment business.

Sprinkled in between the magic we got to hear the musical side of things thanks to guests like Singer/Songwriters Sean O'Shea, Evan Haymond and Shastina Eloff. It was because of those guests and many others that we were able to make Mystifyed Live bigger and better than before.

Season 3, Episode: 24

Street Performer, Jacob Jax

At only 22 years old, Street Performer Jacob Jax has already performed over 3,000 shows on the Las Vegas Strip. He draws his influences from more than just other magicians. He has been inspired by musical artists such as The Jacksons, as well as performers on the Worlds Greatest Magic television specials. In addition to being a street performer he has also taken part in the World Stars of Magic and Vegas Magic Theater, two highly successful magic showcases.

He gained a multitude of his experience thanks to some help from his friend, Comedy Writer and Juggler, Michael Goudeau. Performing on the streets for an audience that is constantly changing has given Jacob a chance to adapt his performance style. His surroundings have also aided him in coming up with new material and helped create some beautiful moments of improvisation. He has always stressed on the importance of performing as much as possible. He believes repetition is one of the best ways to be able to learn things about perfecting a performance.

We want to thank Jacob for spending some time in studio with us this week and for keeping us laughing throughout the interview.

Love In Entertainment

When it comes to the entertainment business, some couples have unique approaches to their relationships. Several of our past guests have told us how they have adapted to being together on and off stage.With today being Valentines Day, we wanted to give you a behind the scenes look at some of these guests.

When we hung out with our first guest of 2013, Magician, Aaron Radatz he told us what made his relationship with his wife, Tina, so special. For a long time people thought that they performed together when in fact, Tina makes a living as a dog groomer. What made things work between them was the fact that they were able to always share something new with each other.  Aaron was able to learn things about her job that he never knew and Tina was able to learn things about magic that she never knew. It became a great way for  Aaron to step away from the stage and talk about something other than magic.

Another couple we had on the show was cruise ship magicians, Kyle and Mistie Knight. These two have been performing together for over ten years. You can see just how connected they are by the way they interact. Mistie said during our interview that once the show starts, work comes first and their personal relationship comes second. Part of what makes them so compatible is their ability to separate their personal lives from their professional personas. Because Kyle's real name is Tyler they often joke that once they are off stage, Tyler can then spend some time with Mistie. 

We all wish you a very Happy Valentines Day! If you would like to check out our interviews with Aaron Radatz and Kyle Knight and Mistie, you can do so by downloading them for free by clicking on the iTunes logo below.

Mystifyed Live! Episode 23-- Christopher Hart

Season 3, Episode 23

Magician, Christopher Hart

Magician, Christopher Hart, has spent a majority of his life entertaining audiences throughout the world. At the age of 16 he was accepted into the prestigious Jr. Program at the world famous Magic Castle in Hollywood. The Magic Castle has become the premiere magic club for magicians from all over the world. His award winning magic has also been featured in commercials for several major companies including: McDonalds, RCA and Honda. In addition, to being an accomplished magician he has also had several acting roles. He played the disembodied hand known as "Thing" in the well known Addams Family series. He joins us this week on Mystifyed Live to talk about his history in magic and film.

Christopher uses his past experiences to develop his own  philosophies on magic, such as The Addams Family series and working alongside David Copperfield. He believes that the art of magic is very technical and relates a performance to that of a live special effect. He advises that you should have the following three things when creating magic or any art form: a good balance of passion, the willingness to change direction and seek help from others. By taking more risks and not being afraid to fail, you will become a better performer and learn more about yourself.

We want to send a big thank you out to Christopher for being on the show this week. His views on magic are something that any performer can learn from. If you would like to find out more about Christopher Hart visit his official IMDB and Facebook pages. To hear the full interview, please download the episode by clicking on the iTunes logo below!

Teenage BlogTalk Radio Host Goes Pro!

We are excited to announce that Josie Passantino is launching her own officially licensed radio station! This hard working teenager has hosted many of her own radio shows. She has made guest appearances on Mystifyed Live as co-host during our interviews with Amanda Ply and Celeste Kellogg. Our host, Justin The Mystifyer, has even appeared in on The Josie Show, twice. As Josie prepares to turn 18, she achieves her dream by launching her own professional radio station.

Radio Host, Josie Passsntino

At age 14, Josie began developing her own blog talk radio show, The Josie Show. Her humble origins included broadcasting her first few episodes out of her bathroom, for acoustic quality. The Josie Show quickly became successful having received several award nominations. Josie has became a member of the Country Music Association or CMA. Over the last few years she has interviewed over 300 guests from relatively unknown artists to Disney Stars and Grammy winning artists.

The success of The Josie Show led to catching the attention of The Southern Star Network, the #1 internet visual radio network in the world!. Their CEO was so impressed with her that he asked her to be the guest co-host on several of their popular radio shows. Things went so well, that after a while she became the permanent host of her own show Josie's Hard Country, which ran from 2011 until 2012.

Two radio shows were not enough for Josie as she went on to created a spin-off called The Josie Show-Special Edition. This show now airs twice a month on the 1st and 3rd Mondays. They kicked off the show in December of 2012 with Country Legend Aaron Tippin. As Josie's ambitions continue to grow from far beyond radio shows.

This Saturday, February 9th, Josie launches her radio station Josie's Country Blast Radio. It will showcase today's hottest country music artists. Broadcasting 24/7 she will have guest DJ's, interviews and of course calls from fans around the world. Her radio station will continue to promote up-coming musicians just as her previous shows have done. Her hard work and dedication has really paid off. A big congratulations goes out to Josie and everyone in her production crew as they taste the reward of not giving up on their dreams.

The logo for Josie's Country Blast Radio

When Josie's Country Blast Radio goes live this Saturday you can find it at www.josiescountryblastradio.com.  Also tune into The Josie Show Fridays at 7 pm CST and The Josie Show: Special Edition the first and third Monday of each month  at 7 pm CST.  Both can be found at www.JosieShow.com.

Mystifyed Live! Episode 22-- Justin Flom

Season 3, Episode 22

Magician, Justin Flom

Magician, Justin Flom, was born into the fast paced world of entertainment. While growing up in Minneapolis Minnesota, he practiced magic while being surrounded by a family full of performers. By the age of 18 he found himself headlining his own show in Branson, Missouri. He combines his loves of traveling and magic by taking road trips with nothing but his motorcycle and a deck of cards. Each place he stops becomes a unique opportunity to share his magic with people all over the country. He has also gone viral online thanks to an incredible video entitled 'A Soldier Deck of Cards', which combines a heartfelt story with mind blowing magic. Most recently he made an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show to showcase his incredible talents. He joins us this week on Mystifyed Live to talk about his career and what's in store for him next.

Thanks to the advancements in technology of the last several years Justin has been able to make quite a name for himself with the help of platforms like YouTube. It has allowed to share his magic with millions of people around the world. Some of his inspiration for creating and performing has come from his father, an amateur conjurer in his own right. Justin believes that there are three types of magic: 1) Magic that has happened. This can be something that the audience doesn't see, such as a prediction. The work is done prior to the people arriving and they only see the end result. 2) Magic that is happening. This is something the spectators can see throughout the performance, such as something floating in mid air. 3) Magic that happens. This is something instant that takes place at a moments notice, like one card changing into another. In addition to his views on performing, he also stresses the importance of making sure you define who you are as person. Once you can do that, try to figure out ways to use elements of your personality and make that part of your magic. Not only will it help make your performances stronger, it will give the spectators something to remember you by.

Click on the image to see Justin perform for Ellen!

We had an absolute blast having Justin hang out with us this week. To see a performance of 'A Soldiers Deck of Cards' as well as many other outstanding pieces of magic, hop on over to his official YouTube page. If you would like some more information on Justin Flom, check out his Facebook,
