Season 4, Episode 7
Magician, Sideshow Artist, Brandon Williams

Originally hailing from New York City, Magician and Sideshow Artist, Brandon Williams has wasted little time taking his love for magic and making it into a career. In addition to performing a sideshow act with his twin brother, R.J. Williams, Brandon has also performed magic for major companies including: Post-it, Burlington Coat and many others. He is currently working on a DVD project, 'The Changes' which is set to be released some time in May. He joins us on the show this week to talk about magic, sideshows and his new DVD project.


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.

Big thanks to Brandon for joining us on the show this week. If you would like more information on 'The Changes' you can find it by checking out System 6 Magic on Facebook.

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.
