My guest today is Leon Etienne. He is a world renowned illusionist, and he's rolling through upstate New York, doing a show this Saturday at Stanley theatre. He's the creator of Magic Rocks, has been featured on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, America's Got Talent, Penn & Teller's Wizard Wars, and much more.

We had a fantastic conversation about why we need a little bit more magic. In our lives. We talk about the business of magic and how he started from learning some simple tricks at home when he was 12, to building this career, where he travels all over the world, showcasing one of the kind illusions.

We talk about his trajectory of making magic a career that's become a full fledged touring operation that goes all over the world. We'll talk about some of those big breaks, whether that's America's Got Talent, or working with Penn and Teller, meeting his heroes, bringing magic to the people during the pandemic and much much more. It's a really wide ranging conversation and it was awesome to catch up with Leon. I hope you guys all check out the show if you're in the region this Saturday night at the Stanley... and let's let's get right into it.

Nothing Happens Until You Dream

Rick Thomas "Nothing Happens Until You Dream" Behind the Magic

Trying your best for people and then realizing what it’s doing so you push it away

uo!snlli - WHY U H8 ME!

Have you ever woken up from a dream and swore it was real?  Until a few minutes later you realized it had been just a dream?  We all have and in this episode, Rick Thomas explains why that happens, what it means and most importantly, how we can use it to succeed!  Rick and Tammy Trujillo talk about the reasons a child can often figure out how Rick's stage illusions are done -(not that he will admit it!)  -and why most adults cannot!  Life is complicated and we often make it more complicated than it has to be - as evidenced by Rick's story about his dilema on how to create a effect on stage which was solved with just one word. And Tammy Trujillo shares what it's like to meet Walt Disney.

Im a 16 year old who uses music as an escape from the world. I picked my name “illusion” as my artist name because everyone always miss perceives me which is like an illusion you can’t really figure what happening. HOPE YOU ENJOY MY MUSIC‼️‼️
