THIS WEEK IN MAGIC :: DOC EASON & LEVENT

We mix things up on this episode of This Week in Magic by inviting two totally different performers to join us on the podcast. Doc Eason is one of the most expereinced bar magicians living today. He's performed in Snow Mass Colorado for more than 27 years, with a lengthy stint at John Denver's Tower Restaurant Magic Bar. In addition, Doc was the recipient of the Academy of Magical Arts first every award for "Bar Magician of the Year" in 2005. In 2008, they also named him Close-up Magician of the Year. When he was 17, Levent was awarded 1st Prize in the Stage Magic competition at the IBM National Convention. He never looked back, immediately taking a resort booking, performing on cruise ships and in theaters around the world. He is a noted creator of magic tricks and a magic lecturer as well as a vaudeville historian. His most recent project is "Levent's Ultimate Guide to the Billiard Balls" in which he explores every aspect of this historic routine and recreates Cardini's famous presentation of the effect.
