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.

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!

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.

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,

Mystifyed Live! Episode 21-- LokI Kross

Season 3, Episode 21

Known more as a Perception Engineer than your typical Magician, LokI Kross, has taken his past experiences in psychology and intelligence and used them to create a unique magical style. After working primarily in the mid-west he ventured out to Las Vegas in order to connect with a wider variety of entertainers. While in Vegas, the relationships he made allowed him to tap into the creative resources of the local magic community to develop a top-selling magic DVD. He is currently working on two new instructional magic DVD's, Sigil and A Taste of Chaos, which he graciously allowed us to be apart of.

Perception Engineer, Loki Kross

LokI joined us, thanks to our former guest Christoper Rose, to promote his upcoming material and to speak about his magic philosophies. In addition to filming several segments of his DVD, we had the privileged of interviewing LokI to look at what drives him to create such powerful magic. It is his goal to give back to the magic community that has helped him achieve his success. He wants to give future magicians simple and high impact magic that allows them to further their performing careers. He hopes that this will inspire a new generation of creators to develop their own unique artistic vision.

The first of his upcoming DVD releases which he performed is called Sigil. Using psychological principles and ancient symbols, the magician is able to correctly guess which symbol the spectator has randomly selected off of a business card. Lastly, we were treated to a performance that is something that has been over 5 years in the making. A Taste of Chaos is his own twist on the classic torn and restored card effect.

We want to thank LokI for spending some time in-studio with us this week. It was a very special privilege to be included on his upcoming DVD's. Be sure to check out his full page ad inside the March issue of Genii Magazine. If you are interested in seeing more magic, check him out on YouTube or follow him on Twitter @LokiKross.

Magician, Aaron Radatz

In one of the most informative points of our interview, Aaron discussed the importance of knowing all aspects of show business.

Mystifyed Live! Episode 16-- Weseley Hanna

Season 3: Episode 16

Las Vegas Magician, Mentalist and Magic Consultant, Weseley Hanna, has a very unique approach to the world of magic. He wants his audiences to be engaged and provide them with an experience that is beyond that of the typical entertainer. His knowledge of magic and of human interaction gives him a well-rounded repertoire with which he can amaze.

Weseley performing his version of Linking Rings

Weseley joined us on-set this holiday weekend for a look into his mind and his passion. With the belief that a strong emotional connection is key to engaging his audience, evoking these intense feelings allows people to be more invested in the magic. Now that the audience is along for the ride, he connects those feelings with a memorable story. He then takes those two characteristics and introduces the props that will give the magic life. By giving each of those steps their own individualized attention, it allows for a creation that is more than your standard routine.

What makes him such a brilliant thinker is his ability to take a traditional act and incorporate a twist that catches his spectators completely off guard. He believes that by taking away the expectancy in the presentation, the magic then becomes more meaningful.

We here at Mystifyed Live want to thank Weseley for spending some time with us and sharing his philosophy on the world of entertainment. He certainly offers a refreshing perspective.  For more about him connect on Facebook or follow him on Twitter @MentalWes. To consult with him go to MentalWes.com.

Mystifyed Live! Episode 15-- David Parr

Season 3: Episode 15

Magician, Actor and Author, David Parr, is more than just a performer. He is also the creator of the Magic Cabaret in Chicago, Illinois. He has also written two highly acclaimed books for magicians, lectured at magic conventions around the country and still finds time to explore other theatrical projects.When he is not performing you can find him around the city giving Haunted History tours, and providing people with an inside look at Edgar Allan Poe with his own interactive show, Visions of Poe. His love of history and how it blends with magic drives him to create a truly incredible theatrical experience.

David Parr performs his signature brand of magic.

Chicago has such a deep-rooted history with magic that most people are not very connected to it. When David started The Magic Cabaret six years ago, it was his goal to bring back the classic Chicago-style of magic and allow a new generation of audience to see it. He wanted to develop a show that was strongly influenced by the intimacy and participatory nature of those parlor shows that helped define the art within the city. The show now runs every Wednesday night at the Greenhouse Theater Center and features some of the best magic in the area.

In what ended up being a very strong experience for both the audience and our guest, we heard of how human emotion can contribute to an act and make it's own magic. After performing a seance piece at a party, members of the audience were so affected by what happened, that each person had a different account of what took place that evening. It was just his job to create the atmosphere and give the guests something to remember the party by; but what ended up happening was something he nor the party-goers will ever forget.

It was great having David on the show with us this week. His love of history and magic has provided us with a rich look into the mind of a truly artistic entertainer. If you would like to find out more about The Magic Cabaret, head over to their official website Magic-Cabaret.com and follow them on Twitter @MagicCabaret.

Mystifyed Live! Episode 11-- Irving Quant

Season 3: Episode 11

Master card magician, Irving Quant

Master Card Magician and Magic Creator Irving Quant takes pride in everything that he does. Much like former guest Paul Vigil, Irving uses his magic to create one-of-a-kind moments that stand alone in time. He wants people to experience more than just a magic trick. His attention to detail not only in his performances, but also in the way he teaches shows  how dedicated he is to making his magic truly a special moment. This week on Mystifyed Live we got to chat with the man behind the magic.

Irving wasted no time getting into his love for card magic. His love is not just the act of performing with them, but everything about the cards themselves. Giving spectators something to focus on such as the images on the cards adds a deeper meaning and value to what is being performed. What some magicians may think that it's just another card trick, Irving sees a chance to further expand on a seemingly endless ocean of material.

It was interesting to hear Irving talk about tailoring magic. Tailoring magic is creating the presentation for the right audience in the right setting. You wouldn't put a bar magician on a stage and expect him to do his regular routine.

We hope that you enjoyed our talk with Irving Quant as much as we did. We have spoken to many magicians on Mystifyed Live, each with their own perspectives on the art of magic and Irving was no exception. To keep up with everything Irving Quant is doing, be sure to check out his official website and to follow him on Twitter.

Season 3: Episode 9

Singer, and Songwriter Macy Kate

For 14 year old singer, songwriter and actress Macy Kate, her dreams have never seemed too far out of reach. From touring nationally with the Broadway production of 'The Wizard of Oz' to almost making the cut for the 2012 US Olympic Swim Team, the sky is truly the limit. She recently entered the recording studio to begin work on her first solo record. Her latest single 'Cover Girl' has recently dropped on iTunes. It was our pleasure to welcome Macy to the program this week to learn more about what drives her to never give up.

As a songwriter she likes to draw her inspirations from the people in her life. She recently got the opportunity to meet an incredible girl named Lexi Haas. Macy was so moved by her story that she wanted to help raise money to help Lexi.

We have included a video from Macy and Drew about the song which you can check out below. You can also find out more information about Lexi and how to donate HERE.



When asked by our audience in the chat room if she had any words of advice for those watching, it was pretty inspiring to hear someone young talk with such wisdom. Macy has done so much in such a short amount of time but her mission and message remain the same. In her official biography, she said it best:

Macy Kate w/ Lexi, the inspiration for "Lexi's Song."

"My message, through my music, is to inspire teen girls to never give up on their dreams, I have been knocked down many times… you have to get back up, brush yourself off and keep trying. It takes just one person to believe in you, and I will be that one person for all of my fans."

We want to thank Macy Kate for taking the time to join us on Mystifyed Live. We hope that you enjoyed hearing from her as much as we did.

Mystifyed Live! Episode 8-- Halloween Special 2012 (Part 1)

Happy Halloween!

Season 3, Episode 8

Happy Halloween from everyone here at Mystifyed Live! We hope you are enjoying your costumes, parties and candy. On this, our 2012 Halloween special, we welcome back our good friend, singer/songwriter/actor, Sean O'Shea. Sean, our first guest of season 3, previously mentioned his love for horror movies. Because of his passion for those dark and twisted films that send a chill down the back of your neck, what better way to celebrate the Halloween season then having him join us once again.

We told of our ridiculous costumes, shared some of our favorite horror movie moments, and as always, had some great questions from our viewers.  But almost on cue, moments after we mentioned the famed Amittyville Horror house things took an unexpected turn. We began to have audio issues, from there our video started to go in and out and before we knew it, there was a completely unexplained catastrophic failure. We were dead in the water with no ability to continue the show.

It became apparent that someone... or something didn't want us to finish the show. This was not our first encounter with Halloween episodes mysteriously failing. going back to our first season we experienced something similar. You can read about it Here. Is it possible that Mystifyed Live is cursed?

We hope that you enjoyed what we were able to save from this years Halloween special. We want to thank Sean for once again joining us. You can follow Sean on Twitter and like him on Facebook as well.

Note: Due to the technical issues- we have rescheduled the interview and will post that once it has been completed.

Whether she is working with famed music producer Teddy Sandman, guest starring in music videos or smiling for the camera; Shastina Eloff puts her heart and soul into every project that she is apart of. Growing up in a small town outside of Sacramento, this classically trained singer turned hip-hop / pop artist, quickly realized she did not want to be just another pretty face. She wanted to change the stereotypes and show people that she can be herself and still be nice, sexy and maybe even a little sarcastic.

She recently had a guest spot on 'Got Cash' the newest single from Los Angeles based musician Whiteboy Rob and put the finishing touches are her own single, 'Boy Toy'. When she is not in the studio or on the set, Shastina has made quite the name for herself in the modeling world. This week on Mystifyed Live we had the opportunity to interview this multi-talented superstar.

Despite having to adapt to the changes between living in a small town and living in LA, Shanista is very much about stepping away from the typical vibe of the industry and being someone who doesn't take herself too seriously. Ego's should be checked at the door, having a big head will not get you far. If you are kind and respectful to those you work with, that is where you will grow as both an artist and a person.

We want to thank Shastina for joining us on the show. We hope that you will take the time to show her some love and check her out by visiting her official Website, Facebook and Twitter.

Mystifyed Live! Episode 6-- Joe Diamond

Season 3 Episode 6
 
From his early days performing in his hometown of Chicago to predicting the 2011 Oscars live on the radio, magician Joe Diamond has made quite the name for himself and he is only in his twenties. His story began as simply as many other magicians. A magic set lead to so much more than just a box of tricks.You may recognize him as good friend and mentor of magician Bill Cook in the award-winning documentary "Make Believe". We were lucky enough to have Joe join us this week on Mystifyed Live to talk about what he has been up to.

Over the years magic has evolved as an art form.  In the example Joe used things like Harry Potter presenting magic in a way that the current generation of audiences can relate to. So when magicians are able to create routines and effects that seem similar to things like this, it allows the newer generation to connect to the material better. This is another reason why Joe believes that all of his material can be performed for almost any audience. By making these connections it gives more meaning to the magic.

Joe describes himself as sincere, comfortable and strange. To get an idea of the kind of person Joe is, he spoke about a reaction he got after doing his Ambitious Card routine for a couple, they simply shook his hand and said "Thank you. That made our day."  It is this kind of primitive connection with his audience, that he cherishes. We would like to thank Joe for joining us this week.
