Hey all. So as you may or may not know I spent the beginning of the year performing a new version of my one man show, Life and Other Deceptions, at a fantastic theatre in Pittsburgh called LIBERTY MAGIC.

The more I worked with the staff there, the more wisdom I heard.

Not being magicians themselves, I realized that their attitudes, criticisms and ideas relating to magic, magicians and one person shows were pure gold, and unfiltered by politics or dogma and needed to be heard.

So, I sat down with their Venue manager, Zoe Ruth, for an in-depth, and brutally honest interview about her experiences in running and booking Liberty Magic, and it was eye opening.

Listen to this with an open mind and heart, understand that all we want is for magic and magicians to move forward, not stagnate, and you will gain an incredible amount from the interview. The advice on creating a show, taking notes and being authentic is probably the most important thing you’ll hear all year.

This is Part One, enjoy :)

See you on the inside
Steve
