Season 13, Ep. 5: Behind the Scenes with a Professional Magician (Adam Wilber)

In today's episode, I go behind the illusions, behind the slight of hand tricks and behind the mind blowing magic with my friend Adam Wilber. Adam is a master magician and corporate speaker and has been captivating audiences both large and small for over two decades. His unique blend of comedy and magic have won him fans from around the world as well as appearances on TV shows like Fool Us with Penn and Teller, whom he fooled by the way, and the Discovery Channel who fittingly called Adam the Real Deal in Magical Entertainment. Adam has been studying and perfecting his craft since the age of six and has logged some serious unseen hours. I met Adam back in 2017 when a mutual friend in the speaking game introduced us and I've enjoyed following his well deserved success.This season I’m exploring what high performers do behind the scenes. I’ve been enjoying fascinating conversations with professional stand-up comedians, magicians, actors, rappers, dancers, YouTubers, athletes, coaches, and everything in between to find out exactly what they do behind the curtain – when the cameras are off and the arenas are empty – to work towards mastery of their craft and to prepare themselves to perform at a world class level. I hope you find their insights, perspectives, and personal strategies as helpful as I do and use what they share to continue to Raise Your Game.Warning: this episode contains the occasional use of adult language – words like BLEEP and BLEEP and quite possibly some nudity… so please be advised. Thank you so much for investing your time with us.
