Steve Spill S4 E4

In a career spanning fifty years, Steve Spill has done it all – close-up performer, bar magician, comedy clubs, concert venues (opening for rock bands), Vegas variety shows – culminating with a twenty-year run as the owner and featured performer at Magicopolis, a theater in Santa Monica, California. Steve’s new book, Assassin, is an entertaining handbook of hows and whys of creating a sustainable career as a professional magician. The last time Steve and I chatted for any length was back in 2009, when he featured on the cover of M-U-M, so it was great to have the opportunity to catch up with him. We talked about Steve’s career, the Magic Castle legends he hung out with when he was a kid, and, of course, his book. I'm sure you'll enjoy this interview with Steve. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michaelclose/support
