Art as Crusade with Magician and Actor Rob Zabrecky

In this episode we sit down with Dominick's lifelong friend, Rob Zabrecky,  a true renaissance man in the world of art and entertainment. He  shares his  journey from fronting the iconic band, Possum Dixon in the nineties, through his decades-long love affair with magic and the acting that became a natural extension of all that came before. As a multi-media artist, Rob knows well the traditions, conventions and trappings of each storytelling mode, as well as the role of concept in the creative process. Rob details his evolution from the rock scene to becoming a celebrated magician at the Magic Castle's Houdini Séance Room, as well as the decade-long venture of documenting his  his unique career path by penning his memoir, "Strange Cures," which paints a vivid picture of the Los Angeles of the '70s through the '90s.
