Fear and loathing in the center ring! The magician on this tape was a clown and magician with Ringling Brothers for over four years. He taught at the Clown College, and acted as advance man for Ringling and other shows after that. He uses a pseudonym on this tape, Memoirs of a Circus Magician, simply to distance himself from his previous career. He is now one of the leading mentalists and psychics in the country. On this delightful tape, he shares with you many of his personal experiences in the circus ù and he knows the circus inside and out! If you would like to know the real skinny on the physical and mental demands of the circus, here are your answers. And, believe it or not, the circus is not immune to office politics - you’ll hear about that aspect as well. You’ll also hear how his life was saved by an elephant, what it was like to live on the circus train, how the performers would play practical jokes on each other, and more. He even shares his introduction to gypsy con games, which took place in Dallas during a transit strike! I’m proud to say that Phineas (again, not his real name) is a good friend of mine, and I am delighted that he has decided to share these stories with all of us in magic. If you enjoy the circus, you’ll love this tape. It is a one-hour long audio cassette, and is just $17.98.
