Building NYC's Magic Empire - Nadav Roet

Nadav Roet started doing magic at 4 years old in Israel, moved to Amsterdam to live in his Holocaust-survivor grandfather's hometown, and landed in New York — where he now runs The Bluff, the city's underground magic show built for the young, cool crowd. He's an award-winning mentalist featured in Cosmopolitan and New York magazine, and in this episode, Nadav will convince you that magic is the single coolest art form ever invented.Follow Nadav on socials @NadavRoet and @TheBluffNYCSupport our work: buymeacoffee.com/peoplejewwannaknow**What We Discuss:**00:00 Intro & Episode Agenda02:00 Growing up in magic and building The Bluff06:30 The magic renaissance and why every party has a magician now11:00 A third-generation Holocaust survivor's Jewish identity14:00 Israeli skeptics vs. American audiences17:00 A live mind-reading trick (watch on video)24:00 Why magic is a proudly Jewish — but never insular — art form30:00 Magic Camp, meeting your heroes, and killing your darlings38:00 Where the female magicians are41:00 Do what you love, with what you have, and have fun43:00 Closing Remarks & Guest Nomination
