Justin Robert Young: Hello, and welcome to the Magic Week in Review, bringing you news, rumor, and culture reports from the front lines of the magic industry. I’m Justin Robert Young, editor of iTricks.com, and it is June 24th, 2007 episode of the program.
You’ll hear about Hans Klok, Kevin James, David Blaine, and stay tuned later to hear the behind the scenes stories from Eric DeCamps’ “Intimate Evening of Magic” show in Manhattan.
Sitting in to help me with all of this is the man who just completed his highly successful run of his one man slight of hand extravaganza, “An Intimate Evening of Magic with Eric DeCamps.” He’s a great friend of the show, and it’s always good to welcome back New York City’s own Eric DeCamps! How you doing?
Eric DeCamps: Hey, Justin. How are you? It’s great to be back on the show.
Justin: I know.
Eric: I’m very excited about this. I’m really excited. You guys stay every week. The show gets better and better.
Justin: This is really part two of our bookends for “An Intimate Evening of Magic.” We had the pre-show, and now we’re going to have the postmortem.
Eric: The postmortem.
Justin: Yeah.
Eric: Postmortem. That’s always a good way of looking at it.
Justin: All right. Our top story. Pamela Anderson is in talks to extend her run with Hans Klok at Planet Hollywood’s Beauty of Magic show. Meanwhile, during a swing of interviews in New York City this week, the pair managed to get both “Pamela’s getting back together with Tommy Lee” headlines AND “Pamela may be dating Hans Klok” headlines simultaneously.
After she said she was falling in love with the Dutch illusionist to the delight of her Dutch grandmother in an interview on the Today Show.
Eric: Wow.
Justin: The big question, Eric, is why were none of these tactics employed by you during the promotion of your New York show?
Eric: Well, it’s funny, because I am a little saddened by this news that you make this run, because I was hoping to get her for my next run.
Justin: I know.
Eric: But, apparently, that’s not going to happen, if she’s going to be… Because I’m in love with Pamela Anderson.
Justin: And who isn’t?
Eric: Unbelievable.
Justin: I’ll tell you, she looks gorgeous. Just fantastic. I think she’s turning forty in…
Eric: She’s drop dead gorgeous. There’s no doubt…
Justin…next week, or the week after that, but she is just a stunner, still.
Eric: She has always been a stunner. A friend of mine saw her at a book signing when she didn’t have any makeup on, and he told me, ” Eric, you’ve got to see her without that makeup. She’s even more beautiful.” He says you can’t even talk when you see her. You just become tongue tied.
Justin: Yeah, I’ll tell you, the sense of humor she has to have to have done Borat and everything is really a fun thing to see.
Eric: She’s very, very funny.
Justin: Someone who likes to play with her own celebrity.
Eric: Exactly.
Justin: And really, to the benefit of Hans Klok. This is a running theme whenever we mention his show, is just the fact that publicity wise, you can’t buy that kind of exposure. She goes on…
Eric: No, no, no. Absolutely not. She walks up, and that’s true. So, her three million dollar contract has paid for itself tenfold, probably by now.
Justin: Yeah, and it could be much more if she does extend the run, which I think is, again, very very good for Vegas magic, and magic in general.
Eric: Absolutely. I’m just little saddened that she can’t work my show now. Damn.
Justin: I know, I know. Just make that wish list just one thing shorter, and move down the list.
The next story, Vickie Armstrong, the Britain’s Got Talent star whose act consisted of running an angle grinder on a metal thong says she’s been contacted by David Copperfield to work on his show out in Vegas. Any ideas on how you would work a woman who runs an angle grinder on a metal thong into a gigantic illusion act like Copper fields?
Eric: I’ve got to tell you. I always thought that that was my idea. I had that in the box. I always wanted to grind my thong, [Justin Laughs] and now I see that someone’s beat me to it. It’s unbelievable.
I have no idea. Maybe he’s going to use her for when he does the fan thing. I don’t know if you’ve ever seen him do that fan illusion where he walks through the fan, and he has this whole industrial look. I don’t know. Or maybe he’s going to use her as an opening act.
Justin: Possibly, possibly. Yeah. I think on iTricks.tv, we have a fantastic video of him doing that routine on “Oprah,” which was a really, really cool things to see.
Eric: Right. Right, right, because that stage is so small.
Justin: Yeah, yeah. I’d be very curious to see how she would be worked into anything. Or, even if it’s true, obviously, when you just got off a show like that, everybody wants some sort of quote, so it’s nice to tell them something. But hopefully… I don’t know, it’d be nice to see her out, but I can’t think, for the life of me, how she’d be worked into a magic act.
Eric: Either that or an opening act.
Justin: Yeah.
Eric: Unless he’s going to use her in some industrial thing. But, good luck to Vicky Armstrong.
Justin: Well, in continuing “Got Talent” news, online gambling house bodog.com said on their blog this week that Kevin James will likely be their odds-on favorite to win “America’s Got Talent” this season when they make their odds for the final rounds. And obviously, all the people who have been on “America’s Got Talent” so far have been guys with acts.
Eric: Right.
Justin: Or at least the majority of the ones that have been successful. But isn’t Kevin James kind of a ringer for an amateur competition? [Laughs]
Eric: I don’t think that’s an amateur competition. And I don’t think it’s considered an amateur competition, because there are a lot of good acts. You had David and Dania last year who got to the finals, who are a wonderful act…
Justin: Yeah.
Eric: I don’t know if you’ve ever seen them.
Justin: Yeah, yeah.
Eric: It’s funny. Last year, we went to a Knick game, my wife and I, here at the Garden, and it happened to be the night that they were doing the half-time show.
Justin: Oh, really?
Eric: Oh yeah. And the Garden is packed. The Knicks, not doing great; they haven’t been doing well for years.
Justin: Yeah, I know.
Eric: But they can still pack the house. It’s amazing. And David and Dania get introduced, and they come out and do the half-time show. And I’m sitting around all these guys, I’m like, “Who are these people? What are they doing here?” And within two minutes, they’re like, “Holy moly! This act is incredible!”
Justin: [Laughs]
Eric: And at the end, they went nuts! And it’s funny, because they won over the crowd. And I think they have a contract doing NBA shows all round and that keeps them very, very busy. But their act is wonderful. She’s amazing. David is terrific, and she’s just amazing. They’ve got such tremendous personality.
So having Kevin James as an odds-on favorite, I think it’s great, because Kevin is really a wonderful, creative magician. Very funny guy. Very creative. And my kudos goes to Kevin. I wish him the best. I hope he does win. It’ll be great for not only Kevin, but it’ll be great for magic.
Justin: Absolutely. You know, the funny thing about the David and Dania thing is Isaiah Thomas immediately signed them to a seven-year max deal.
Eric: [Laughs]
Justin: Yeah, yeah. Dania’s going to work the point and David’s going to have a slash attack. Maybe they can gel with Stephan Marbury and… [Laughs]
Eric: And the Star buries, maybe those. The new shoes, the Star buries.
Justin: Exactly, the Star buries. [Laughs]
Eric: God, that’s too funny. It’s funny, because they’re going to come up with their own line of sneakers that’ll change depending on the clothes that you’re wearing.
Justin: [Laughs]
Eric: That will be cool.
Justin: Some kind of example for the NBA’s new dress code policy.
Eric: Oh, that’s right! That’s right! That’s a good hook. That’s very good.
Justin: Someone comes in in like a throwback jersey and a tilted hat, and then David and Dania pull their clothes off and it’s a full Natalie dress suit. [Laughs]
Eric: Oh yeah. The NBA’s missing a good thing here. The NBA players should be doing this.
Justin: But the guy who did get the NBA gig during the Finals was David Blaine.
Eric: Yeah, I know. Good old David.
Justin: Watch this transition. “Fortune” magazine reported that David Blaine gets $150, 000 an hour for walk-around magic. It was part of their yearly Celebrity 100, where they rank the richest and most influential in the entertainment industry. Now, Blaine wasn’t on this list; in fact, no magician was on this list, which is kind of weird.
Eric: I’m surprised. Copper field’s usually been on that list. But go ahead.
Justin: He usually is, he usually is. I don’t know exactly what kind of rubric they use, but apparently he didn’t make it this year. In context, though–and this was part of a kind of sidebar of celebrity appearance fees–Tiger Woods costs $155, 000 for putting lessons, and Bill Clinton, who turns down, as they said, like 90 percent of the people who want to bring him in, won’t even crack open his calendar for less than $350, 000 to talk whatever you want to talk to Bill Clinton about. So [you've expression] before you?
Eric: Yeah, that would happen after dinner.
Justin: Yeah, before you did the live show… I mean, you’ve done quite a bit of corporate magic. How do you go about setting an hourly rate and how you think Blaine would measure? How to set for something like this?
Eric: Well, I got to tell you that $150, 000 an hour is a little below my rate…
Justin: Yeah [Laughs]
Eric: But now I know. The next time I get together with David, he’s definitely picking up the check…
Justin: Yes, seriously.
Eric: That’s all I know.
Justin: Seriously. He was just at the Staten Island Film Festival where a…
Eric: Yes that I heard. I heard he was doing close-up magic. I didn’t know Staten Island had that kind of cash to pay him $150, 000 an hour.
Justin: [Laughs]
Eric: That’s a lot of ferry rides!
Justin: And now for review comments from our listeners. Some of you might remember, last week we did a story about a Second Life magician by the name of Tuna Odd fellow, who won the online Avatars’ Got Talent competition. However, our reaction to Second Life magic in general drew us this response from the Tuna camp and I will read it now in full.
“Hi! I’m Tuna Odd fellow’s beautiful assistant, Shava Suntzu in Second Life. In real life, I’m also Fish the Magish’s (Matthew Fishman’s) beautiful assistant. I thought I’d give you a few details that you might have missed through your snarkiness and lack of research in your fun pod cast. 284 people watched the performance. 13 million will see the performance on America’s Got Talent next week. When was the last time thirteen million people listened to your pod cast?
One of the guys who snarked said it was no big deal to do magic in a world where the first thing people learn to do is fly. Let me tell you something, these people are jaded and to get them to go, “Wow!” takes some serious showmanship. Any idiot can blow fire or do all kinds of tricks in Second Life, tricks that takes serious skill in the real world. Fish, himself, has spent thousands and thousands of hours on his own magic as a professional magician here in Boston.
But to engage the audience in wonder where everything is magic takes a sense of showmanship and style that in fact, something that only translates from a high level of skill in the real world. Dude, you think it’s easy? Come to my turf and try it out. Seriously, love the show, and I can hear how much fun you’re having. But perhaps you should come and visit SL. We’re talking about starting an IBM ring in Second Life, because there are so many people interested in the art. Yours, Shava Nerad.”
Eric: Cool!
Justin: So that was…
Eric: I love your reading. I love your reading, Justin. It’s like listening to Vince McMahon.
Justin: Exactly. Well, the “late” Vince McMahon, if you’ve been following…
Eric: Oh God, God, I know, I heard about it. I haven’t really been following it a bit, but that’s very funny.
Justin: I know. It didn’t really matter, it’s very funny.
Eric: But a…
Justin: That’s a story for another pod cast, but real quick here, this was Andrew’s response to it: “My own snarkiness has more to do with the hype that Linden Labs creates for itself in the general media gullibility. Both Justin and I have been in Second Life. I created an avatar when they first launched and went back a few months ago and even worked on a project for somebody covering news in virtual worlds. Personally, in Second Life, I get the same creepy feeling I got the first time I went to a safe chat room. But that’s just me. Winning obviously took a lot of work and I should’ve given more credit.”
Eric: OK.
Justin: And that’s Andrew’s response and I’d like to follow up that I’m going to blame this all on Andrew.
Eric: [Laughs]
Justin: I was very open to the IBM Second Life magicians. I was just reading the news, but in all seriousness, I’m sure Fish the Magish put a lot of work into his act and I’ll tell you what, his avatar is going to get face time on national television next week.
Eric: Oh, that’s true. That would be great!
Justin: So Tuesday on America’s Got Talent, so everybody tune in and let us know what you think. You know, Tuna Odd fellow won a million Linden dollars, which does translate to real money; maybe to put real money into Second Life to buy property and goods and services and scripts and stuffs…
Eric: Oh, I didn’t know that. Actually, I don’t know that much about it. I’m really a novice, so I don’t know.
Justin: I mean, obviously, the million Linden Dollars translated to 3, 800 AmErican dollars.
Eric: That’s a little bit below my rate, as a corporate entertainer.
Justin: [Laughs] Is that below your Second Life rate?
Eric: [Laughs]
Justin: What would your rate be in Linden Dollars?
Eric: Oh, it would be in the gazillions. [Laughs]
Justin: In the gazillions!
Eric: In the gazillions, at least.
Justin: Eric DeCamps does not suit up his avatar for less than a gazillion Linden Dollars.
Eric: And I can go in a pair of sneakers that will change into beautiful patent leather shoes for my tux.
Justin: [Laughs] Use Star buries, yeah.
Eric: My morphing Star buries.
Justin: [Laughs] Your morphing Star buries… There are going to be two headlines in this pod cast. It’s going to be Eric DeCamps doesn’t work for anything less than a gazillion Linden Dollars, and I’ve been looking for an act to grind my thong. [Laughs]
Eric: [Laughs]
Justin: All right. And we also have a voice message.
Eric: OK.
Justin: And we will play that now.
Francis McAllister: How’s it going, iTricks? This is magician Francis McAllister. I just wanted to say thank you for having me on your site. It’s really a pleasure. I’ve just seen Andrew Mayne’s Shrinker effect, and I just want to compliment Andrew on his effect. It’s freaking sweet.
I love the tribute at the end with the leprechaun. I remember watching that movie when I was a kid. Brought back horrific memories. And I just want to say to Andrew: thank you for bringing back those memories back.
Well, thank you guys very much, and I’m looking forward to seeing some more sweet videos. So, till then, see you next time.
Justin: We are coming back. Thank you very much. If you guys would like to send in your voice message, you can just use the “Talk to us” icon on the right sidebar of the main iTricks page. And we always accept feedback by email, at show@itricks.com.
Well, as we mentioned at the top of the program, Eric’s show just wrapped up, right there in the wind-swept hamlet of Manhattan.
Eric: Yeah, Rockefeller Center.
Justin: Exactly. And we have the chance to now get the inside scoop on how everything went. So Eric, how did everything go?
Eric: Everything went very, very well. I’m very happy to report that every show was full. The last five shows were totally sold out. You couldn’t get anymore. We had to figure out a way, it was so funny. My dear friend, Derek Chung from Montreal, who’s working on his PhD here in New York, was helping me out every single show. And he’s working on his PhD on Mathematics, and he actually figured out how to get more seats in a room that only seats 40.
Justin: [Laughs] Yeah, pay off the fire marshal. That’s not Mathematics.
Eric: Well, let’s not even discuss that.
Justin: That’s against the law. I know how stuff works in the city. [Laughs]
Eric: [Laughs] We actually got up to 57 seats in the room. It was wild. It was really cool. I don’t know if you saw the article in Stan Allen’s “MAGIC Magazine,” the review, which was a very positive review. And they had beautiful photographs of the room. It looks really, really cool.
Again, we were very lucky to have a very good turnout. In the beginning, we were getting mostly lay people. I would say, in the beginning, we were probably 70/30 being more lay people coming. And by the end of the run, we were like 80/20 with more magic enthusiasts coming.
Justin: Wow.
Eric: It was really wild. It was really, really cool. I mean, this last show, one of the things that we came up with was having a guest host introduce me every show. Someone that’s in the New York market, the New York area, that’s well known, whether it would be a high-echelon businessperson like Allan “Ace” Greenberg or, in the scientific community, we had Brian Schwartz, who’s one of the top living–living, that’s really good…
Justin: [Laughs]
Eric: One of the top physicists here that lives in New York.
Justin: Yeah, that is fantastic.
Eric: And then we had Bill Kalush…
Justin: Of course, author of…
Eric: Author of the Houdini book.
Justin: The controversial Houdini book, yeah.
Eric: And we also had Kenneth Silverman, who wrote the other Houdini biography in 1997, the Pulitzer Prize winner.
Justin: That is fantastic.
Eric: And we had George Schindler, the Dean of the Society of AmErican Magicians. We had the world’s greatest memory expert, Harry Lorayne.
Justin: Wow!
Eric: And Steve Cuiffo, my director, was the first host. And my final host was AmErica’s most beloved and foremost corporate entertainer, who gets about $500, 000 an hour, Bill Malone.
Justin: Wow.
Eric: So it was really cool, we were very very lucky and the turn out and the response has been great. One of the things has been, I haven’t been working for the general public for a long time. I was doing private parties for the last decade or so. Back in the day when I used to work the nightclubs like Mostly Magic or the Magic Townhouse, I had forgotten that when you open up the doors to just anybody who buys a ticket you don’t know what you’re going to get. On the second show man it was really wild. We had these professional people come in, it actually turned out that the guy was a lawyer. He came in with about six people and he sat in the front row. I mean he’s literally 24 inches or 36 inches away from me, and he’s drunk out of his mind.
Justin: Yeah, really bombed out of his skull, a few too many toddies after work. [Laughter]
Eric: No, he was with a group of six people and here’s the thing: he’s sitting in the front row with his wife and their arguing about how the magic is accomplished.
Justin: [Laughter]
Eric: And I’m sitting there, boy, you got to be kidding me. And they’re literally like, I’m, “hello, I’m right here.” [Laughter]
Justin: [Laughter] Yeah, yeah.
Eric: But I handled it very well. I didn’t want to give a drunken man, an inebriated person any more attention than he was trying to grab on to him.
Justin: No, no.
Eric: But the thing is they gave me a hard time but there is a god. Let me tell you, there is a god. Because I found out later through a friend of mine who went out with them afterwards, went with that group, on the way home they lived out in Oakdale Long Island which is about an hour and a half, and hour and a forty-five minute drive. They had a limousine; they were doing the whole limo tour of New York. They had dinner; they were going to see my show, and then going out for drinks. On the limo ride home they stopped the limo and they threw the couple out. [Laughter]
Justin: Really! [Laughter]
Eric: [Laughter] Just ejected them out. They had the limo driver stopped and said “excuse me; you guys go home on your own.” [Laughter]
Justin: Oh my god!
Eric: So it was pretty wild. I thought that was really funny.
Justin: This is in Manhattan?
Eric: Yeah, they dumped them in Manhattan someplace.
Justin: They throw them at the station and say the LARR runs all night. It’s a buck fifty. [Laughter]
Eric: [Laughter] I keep forgetting how well you know New York. But it was funny we had a lot of magic celebrities come out and supported the show. We had David Roth; Bob Sheets came up from Washington DC with a bunch of other guys. We had guys from Pennsylvania, Tony Baronio, Jeff, who else was there [thinking]. We had all kinds of guys coming from Connecticut, it was really good. It was really really good. We had a wonderful illusionist, Joe Devlin from New York who’s always very busy. We had Herb Zaro; I don’t know if you’ve heard of Herb Zaro? Mary Eddid, Mark Sediducati, it was really really well attended and supported by the magic community here in New York. It was really cool. The one person who told me, he swore to me he was coming, was my good friend, Vladimir Klitschko.
Justin: Awwww, Vladimir Klitschko.
Eric: He was supposed to be at the opening show but he had to cancel out. He had to run out to promote his show, his return match against Limon Brewster.
Justin: Okay.
Eric: At the Delahoya fight. He didn’t make it to the show but he does magic. He’s a really sweetheart of a guy.
Justin: For anybody who’s listening to this, who didn’t see the pictures, just go ahead over to iTricks (.com), type in Decamps, scroll down a little bit and you be able to see a picture of the man himself, Eric Decamps with Vladimir Klitschko. The funny thing about that picture is Klitschko is the excited one. He’s just really thrilled he gets to have his arm around Eric Decamps. Have you seen “Ocean’s 11?” He’s the guy who’s fighting.
Eric: Right right right.
Justin: Fantastic boxer. Really, really, it’s good to see he’s making a comeback, yeah.
Eric: Oh, it’s great. And he’s a great guy. He was actually surprised that I knew so much about him, that I knew he has PhD and all this other stuff. He was like, “Well, how do you know all this?” I said, “Because I’m a fan of boxing! I’m a fan of the sweet science!” I’ll tell you one thing, at first I looked at him and I said, “You know, he’s not that big of a guy. I think I got a chance here.”
Justin: [Laughs]
Eric: But you see his hands–and he makes a fist as he’s talking to you–and it’s like a brick wall. [Laughs] It’s like this huge hand!
Justin: [Laughs] Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Eric: It’s like the Thing from the Fantastic Four, his hand.
Justin: Exactly, the rock fingers, just balling up…
Eric: Jesus, my God, it’s like granite. When he shakes your hand, you’re holding on to his piece of granite. But he’s a really nice guy and very, very, very smart.
Justin: Now, here’s the big question. You did your run. Are we going to see “An Intimate Evening of Magic” again? And when?
Eric: Part doe? No, part ducks!
Justin: Part deux! Part deux! Yeah.
Eric: [Laughs] You know, it’s funny, because the place really loved it. The general manager came down and said, “Eric, we love it. We’d love to have you back.” And there are a couple of other things. There were other people in the audience during the run that were very interested. So, we’ll see. We’ll see what happens.
This was an interesting run. I’m really glad I did it. It was a lot of work, but in the end, looking back, it was really cool. It was really, really cool. The responses were good. I can’t tell you, Justin, how many times people came up to me, and said, “I’ve never seen magic like this before.”
Justin: That is great…
Eric: “I’ve never known this type, this form…” They’ve seen the stage illusions. A really close-up with this type of parlor magic, they had never seen before. And it was really cool. It was really, really, really, really nice. It was very positive. So with that type of feedback, who knows?
Justin: Yeah. So you’re not going to go on the record here on the Magic Week in Review and say that you are coming back or when you are coming back…
Eric: I’m coming back for more! [Laughs]
Justin: Coming back! Because if you are, I have a list of people that you should have for special guests. Number one, Star bury.
Eric: [Laughs] Star bury? And who else?
Justin: New York Knicks power forwards Dave and Dania. [Laughs]
Eric: Yes, that would be great! That would be great! That would be fantastic. I think that would be so funny. I’m waiting for Pamela Anderson. Actually, that’s what I’m going to wait for, her contract to run out.
Justin: Exactly. Then swoop in.
Eric: Yeah, yeah. Tell me, you and Andrew Mayne want to be here that same night. [Laughs]
Justin: Oh, no. That will definitely happen. Are you going to be at MAGIC Live?
Eric: No, I’m not going to be at MAGIC Live. I have other commitments in the month of August that are going to be taking up my time, unfortunately, so I will not be able to make it to MAGIC Live.
Justin: Oh, man.
Eric: Are you going to be there?
Justin: Yeah, yeah, iTricks is going to be there in full effect.
Eric: That’s great. I mean, I’ve only heard great things about it. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to make it to the other; I think it was two they’ve had. But anything Stan Allen gets involved with, he’s going to do top-notch.
Justin: He does it right. All right. Well, that about raps up this pod cast.
Eric: Awesome.
Justin: I would like to thank Eric. Thank you very much!
Eric: Oh, it’s been a pleasure, man! It’s always a pleasure to come over and visit iTricks and the Magic Week in Review, because this is a great way, this is a great thing you guys are doing, so I congratulate you both and the iTricks team.
Justin: Everybody here at iTricks: big, big, fan of Eric DeCamps. And the next, we have a full commitment to our audience that whenever Eric DeCamps makes any kind of move…
Eric: [Laughs]
Justin: In terms of the new run for “An Intimate Evening Magic,” you will hear it first here at iTricks.
Eric: Well, I’m going to tell you right now. I’m going to tell you right now: I am going to make sure that when I come out with my line of color-changing sneakers… [Laughs]
Justin: [Laughs]
Eric…you guys are going to be the first to know.
Justin: The color-changed Star buries. [Laughs]
Eric: The Magic-buries!
Justin: Well, if you would like to contact the show, you can always email show@itricks.com, or leave us a voice message by using the “Talk to us” icon on the right sidebar of the main iTricks page. Until next week, everybody, I’m Justin Robert Young for iTricks.com.
[Music]
Eric: Do you hear that phone in the background? Do we have to redo this?
Justin: No, no. It’s fine. I’ll just cut it out.
[Ringing sound]
Eric: Hold on for one second.
Justin: OK.
Eric: I’ve got to… Hold on.
[Ringing sound]
Justin: No problem.
Eric: Hello?
Woman: Hey.
Eric: Hey, how are you? I’m being interviewed. I’ve got to turn the phone off. What’s up?
Woman: Nothing. I’m here with Jamie. Are we going to the barbecue?
Eric: You heard that one, right?
Justin: Who doesn’t want to go to a barbecue?
Eric: Oh, Jesus.
