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.

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.
