As Robin Leach continues to allow Las Veags top liners to hijack his column, it is Mac King’s turn to talk about his life as a professional magician as well as author and creator of magic props like his new Lunchbox-O-Magic.
Most interesting is how he got into the comic strip game…
It all started in 2002 when my cousin Bill King, an extremely talented (plus funny and handsome) graphic designer approached me about doing a project combining his graphic talents and my magical knowledge to create a weekly comic strip teaching the public a simple magic stunt. Incredibly, we were able to sell this idea, and Mac King’s Magic in a Minute has been syndicated in papers throughout the world by Universal Press Syndicate (now called Universal Uclick). That weekly color strip features a cartoon version of me teaching my monkey assistant Lewis a magic trick. The comic strip has led to a number of offshoot projects.
Click through and read the rest, most of it is written from the perspective of a monkey. So that’s fun.
