Conjurers, Carnies & Collectors is made possible by a grant from Shmaltz Brewing Company, makers of Coney Island Lagers, including “Sword Swallower” and “Albino Python”. Be sure to see the seasonally available brews such as “Freaktoberfeast” and “Human Blockhead”. Look for the freaks on the label at World Market, Whole Foods and fine beer retailers near you. A portion of its proceeds directly benefits Coney Island USA, a 501(c)3 Non-Profit.

And by Shocked & Amazed! Magazine, the planet’s only periodical dedicated to the novelty and variety performing arts, now in its 15th year of publication. Available at booksellers, comic book shops and fine tattoo parlours near you. Shocked & Amazed! Magazine — Ask for it by name!

Host Alex Kensington writes:
Mentalism. Every variety arts performer is enticed by it, and most magicians have or will go there. Its the difference between showing off as a deft manipulator of things, and a manipulator of thoughts– lots of them. It takes magic theory out for a real display … if you can pull it off. If you flop, you could blame the audience; if you’re great at it, you might be Rick Maue.

This week we travel from Washington, DC to Pittsburgh, PA speak with best selling magic Author and Mentalist Rick Maue.

Pittsburgh-based author lecturer and performer Rick Maue has over 30 years experience in front of audiences, and several best selling books to his credit. Probably his most famous, The Book of Haunted Magic is doing well in hard bound. His busy lecture schedule keeps him on both sides of the Atlantic and he has helped performers all over the world. Head west with us now from DC to the Iron City and meet Rick Maue.
