"I try to raise the profile of magic from being a puzzle, up to being an art form. Where it's not just me presenting a bunch of random magic tricks, but instead I try to tell a story about a time period and about people and the characters that were alive during that time period. To really understand what was going on in magic at that time. " ~Professor DR Schreiber
From Portland, Oregon my guest this episode has taken the art of stage magic and elevated it to historical proportions. Bad pun aside I had the pleasure of talking to Professor DR Schreiber otherwise known as The Historical Conjurer.
We talked about his unique magic show and how he combined a life-long love of performing magic tricks with a penchant for the Victorian and Regency eras to create an entertaining and informative look at the history behind stage magic. A window in a bygone era that gave rise to the modern magic shows we see today.
You can find more about Professor DR Schreiber, his shows and appearances as well as the work he does within the broader magic community on his website, HistoricalConjurer.com
