TV MAGICIAN STILL TURNING TRICKS
TV MAGICIAN STILL TURNING TRICKS
CHICAGO (Wireless Flash) Old dogs cant learn new tricks but old magicians can. Case in point: 66-year-old Marshall Brodien. Back in the 1970s, Brodien was known for his commercials for TV Magic Cards which promised would-be Houdinis hours of fun entertaining your family and friends. Brodien also played Wizzo the Wizard on the Bozo Show back in the early 80s. These days, he spends much of his time conjuring up tricks for magicians like Siegfried and Roy and Lance Burton. And, although some illusionists like David Copperfield believe bigger is better in magic, Brodien doesnt think size matters. He says the best tricks use everyday objects. In fact, hes considering devising a new trick inspired by a salt shaker.
