Magician to Magician – Geoffrey Durham Interview

on 22/04/2013 · 3 Comments

Geoffrey Durham kindly invited me to his home to do this interview, but then he is a very generous man.  He has shared his knowledge of magic in the wonderful book “Profesional Secrets” and now spends his time directing and working with performers from all disciplines. He is not a theoretical performer with half baked ideas,  but a performer who has worked continuously for many years on stage and television. His knowledge is extensive.

In this wonderful interview which lasts about 67minutes Geoffrey discusses the pros and cons of being a “character magician”, shares his views on TV magic and a lot more.

Once again the sound quality of my questions is not great – but you’re used to that now!

Please don’t forget to leave a comment, give it a like or tweet it out.  It keeps me happy and connected.
