Andrew Evans, Wildcard. Part One
from Choosing Courage Hosted by Katie Tuite
This episode is a little different and a ton of fun. I had the absolute thrill to talk with my close friend, Andrew Evans, who is a professional magician and one of the most interesting and brilliant people I know. Before taking the plunge to pursue magic as his full-time profession and open his own theater, the Magic Patio, Andrew had a successful career as a lead designer for the innovative design company, IDEO, based in the Bay Area. In this episode, Andrew tells us his story of how he went from a rollercoaster enthusiast to engineer to treehouse builder to designer to magician. We talk what it took for him to take the leap to open the Magic Patio complete with an expensive 5-year lease in the San Francisco Mission District and a staff of ten. Andrew and I had such a great time talking that I’ve split this conversation into two parts so that we can really dive into Andrew’s story. In Part One, Andrew tells us his story leading up to the Covid-19 pandemic when restrictions on indoor gatherings forced the Magic Patio to temporarily close its doors. Stay tuned for Part Two when Andrew tells us how he has adapted his magic performances to a completely virtual experience for company happy hours, team celebrations and virtual offsites.
