Making Your Magic… More MAGICAL! Interactive Workshop

If you enjoyed and were inspired by my book “Tales of Enchantment: The Art of Magic” you’ll be interested to hear more about my interactive workshop/lecture “Making Your Magic… More MAGICAL!”

If you’re a club member or working on a convention/conference program give me a call. I’m based in the San Francisco/Bay Area, but often travel to Corporate gigs all over California, New York, Florida, Illinois.

I’m available for travel, and also provide private coaching and act direction. You’ll find not only my bio, but my theory and performance technique in my book. It’s available from your local magic dealer, or through http://www.LeapingLizardsMagic.com .

It will be an experience your magic won’t easily forget, and I don’t bite…

Magically,
Walt

Hey All,

So, Obscura: A Magic Show has come to the end of it's run. I'll be lying low a bit for about a year. I will be doing a handful of one off performances around the Bay and in the San Francisco underground over the next 12 months. I will also be working on our documentary performance film of Now and at the Hour which will hopefully start doing a tour of film festivals starting early next year (cross your fingers for us.)

The past year has been a very rough one for our family and me as we dealt with my mother's losing battle to cancer. She past away in my arms a month ago, took her last breaths as I said good bye. This would probably explain why Obscura: A Magic Show was so full of stories of death and such (working out some issues I believe...)

With that, I'd love to share with you footage from the very end of the very last performance of Obscura. Some folks thought it was a dark ending....I thought it was rather lovely...and if one is paying attention: hopeful.

So here is Robert Neale's.........

Here's the first teaser trailer for Now and at the Hour the movie! It's a documentary performance film.

Tobias Beckwith : director/manager for McBride and Marco Tempest
David Hirata: local magician and also a friend of mine in theatre
Michael Gene Sullivan: playwright/director/actor - adapted 1984 into '84 directed by Tim Robbin's and he is also the head playwright for the San Francisco Mime Troupe.
And, Joe Pon: owner/proprietor of Misdirections Magic Shop in SF.

All I'm honored to call-Friends.

Hope you like!

Hey guys,
I'm looking to join or start a group for regular magician meetings.
I'm in San Mateo,CA.
Anyone interested in a magic jam in San Mateo?
Any groups (SAM/IBM/etc) meet near San Mateo?
I know about the oakland magic circle but it is too far for me to commute there.
Looking forward to hearing some responses!
Thank you!
