Todd Robbins – Modern Master of the Sideshow

Last week we posted news that Todd Robbins was pitching an idea for a Times Square entertainment destination on ABC’s  ”Shark Tank”.  Some of you might be wondering: “Just who the heck is Todd Robbins anyways?” He’s a modern master of the classic carny sideshow, a living encyclopedia of the allied arts. His passion for the bygone era of the 10-in-1 has inspired a new generation of magicians, geeks and freaks to continue on. That’s why he’s getting the pick for my first “Modern Masters” submission. Consider this video Exhibit A.

Is there someone you can think of who epitomizes a particular type of magic or performance, someone who represents the pinnacle of a particular facet of our art? Let me know at dezrah@gmail.com

Who do you  think should be our next “Modern Master”?
