Rather than send an e-mail to many of my friends on this board I thought I would post. (In the future it would be neat if others could do the same!)
I will be doing an on-air (also available on-line) interview Sunday morning Mar.25 for about 30 minutes here in Montreal. The show starts at 10:00 a.m. EST, and I am scheduled for 11:30 -12:00. I have seen the questions and there are some relating to "ShaZzam!", Blaine/Angel etc. The interviewer has also seen my show, and knows me, so it should be quite positive. You folks can get to know a little more about me. I have also asked for a copy of the show. If you would like to listen, go to Http://www.940news.com On the left hand side click on "Listen Live" it should come up. Should be fun, and I will try to say hi to the folks on the Café!!!

Blair,
I just got done listening and tuning in to your radio interview. Very nicely done my friend. You came acrossed as a very warm and friendly person with a passion for performing magic and going about it the right way. I think you conducted yourself with dignity and it really showed well. I hope it also gives you additional exsposure and helps your marketing. Thanks for letting us know about this. It was a very enjoyable half hour and I only hope I may get to meet you in person some day. I wish you much continued success. Kyle

Thanks Kyle and Tony,
I will be getting to listen to it in the future, and will probably make some comments on it, to help others in the same situation. This was an unscripted, 30 minute live interview! While I have done interviews before, most have been on location, over the phone, or in a t.v. studio with audience. In-studio radio was quite different. Voice wise I showed some nervousness. Anyway, as long as the folks at home, got my name, and then hit Google, I will be happy. Blair Marshall "ShaZzam!"

Hi Blair:
I little off topic, but I hope you don't mind. I noticed your ShaZzam show was once performed by Lee Edwards. I remember as a teen watching the Sunday afternoon Bill Bixby show with FISM clips and such. I remember Lee being on almost everytime, doing his illusions. How is he doing? Is he still involved with magic? Thanks. Ron |

Lee passed away a couple of years ago, and a few years after I bought the show. Not sure if this is why he was selling in the first place. He was under 60 so it was quite sad. His brother Steve now works with another illusionist in California, he did costumes, choreography, and built equipment for the show. A very talented fellow. He appeared on many of the Bixby shows with Lee. I have many of the illusions you probably saw. Lee's part was to supply illusion segments for the televised shows, these were inserted, and not actually from FISM.
Lee bought some of the original "ShaZam!" props from John Daniel, the sale was brokered by Mike Cavenay. Lee bought much of the staging equipment, including the giant logo sign (850 lightbulbs) and the rights to the show name. Lee as you have noted had his own vast store of illusions, I received 30 plus with my purchase of the show. I also have a letter to me from John indicating that I am the holder of the show name rights. Did you get to hear the interview? Blair Marshall "ShaZzam!"

If a magician is true to his art by using all criteria for a given goal..ie to Amaze
People, then what would be the diffence between a TV Magician using restricted viewing angles via tv framed views and One who performs regularly to live REAL audiences via staged framed views. Is the time coming for the magician who perfoms regularly to real live audiences ( with no restricted views and a linear uncut sequence of events) ,if so will the masses hale such a person and acknowledge him/her or will they not give full credit due to impressions formed by the TV magician due to comparing tv 'reality' with real life 'reality'. |

Tony,
I think you misposted???? From memory I think there is another thread about this question. BM

Perhaps, but I was more interested in someones view on it due to hearing something on the radio. Thanks for the info
best wishes Tony |

OK,
That is how I always describe how Criss Angel works, ie. the opening on the T.V. is the theatre arch, however, the performer is able to move it at will, and control it. The problem with the current "younger" generation is they have a hard time discerning t.v. reality vs. true reality. The MTV generation so to speak. Criss has used this, now if he could do what he does on t.v. live, he could be declared a G-d! Will this t.v. generation be able to accept "true" reality, that is the question, will they grow out of it and realise that what they see on t.v. is not true "reality", then again what is "reality" So, my answer to the second part of your question for me, is no, and that is because many of the feats the t.v. folks are watching are unable to be duplicated "as is" in a true live situation. So there will always be the comparison i.e. "I saw this perfomer on t.v..........." Blair Marshall "ShaZzam!"

One day when our technology and inginuity will allow us to do these things live then I wonder what form magic will start to take? Perhaps the material will be left and all will be mind , what sort of a reality would that be ? ha ha
Thanks for the reply from Tony Webs |
