Yigal Mesika was one of the more popular presenters at this year's MAGIC Live! convention. Each of his four presentations were overflowing with standing room only crowds. I counted over 250 in one room alone. We tried to get together to record a podcast while in Las Vegas, but due to his need to be at his booth in the Dealers' Room all the time and schedule conflicts, we never got together. But this week we connected over Skype and recorded a very interesting conversation.
We talked about his development of elastic bands (Loops) and his creative process. He also gave us a few hints and tips for thread work that he shared in his lecture in Vegas. But the bulk of the conversation was about the importance of recognizing a creator's intellectual property and his current lawsuit with Penguin Magic. After being filed for nearly a year, this was finally going into arbitration within 48 hours of our recording of the conversation and, if not resolved, will be going to court. Well, we will see how it works out and I'll post something when I know anything. You can watch a video, see some photos, read the blog, enter the new contest (for FREE Loops), listen online and download the MP3 file at: http://themagicwordpodcast.com/scottwell......l-mesika And congratulations goes to the three winners of the deck of cards for the "Anniversary Waltz" (compliments of Garrett Thomas): Tony Baronio, Robb Peffer, and Shaun Rivera. Their names were randomly drawn from over 60 entrants in the contest. Be sure to enter the new contest for one of five sets of Loops offered by Yigal Mesika.
