Episode 17 Magic Podcast Teaser: The Time I Met Merlin The Magician
In this throwback teaser to Episode 17…
I talk about my very first sighting of Merlin the Magician in Aspen, CO.
Traveling west that summer with a padawan in tow, we rolled into Aspen for two days en route to Las Vegas and Magic Live.
Seeing Merlin’s table propped up against a wall during the first day gave us hope we would encounter this mythical Aspen summer resident.
Contact established (eventually)… it was an epic four-hour visit which I will cherish as one of my favorite moments in my street performing and nomadic traveling life.
Spry and lively for a man who had attained an age considered elderly by most standards…
Merlin welcomed us to his table and set about drawing us into fascinating tales of a life lived adventurously.
made for a great episode of my magic podcast…

so I started a show there and got this nice crowd notice and as I’m going through the motions…
it’s like as if he just appeared like materialized I guess is the word I’m looking for…
I see this older man at the back of the audience…
with this long white just white pure as the driven snow as they would say you know…
this long white beard and I’m thinking and he’s wearing almost like… a
karate or martial arts style like gi sort of getup the black…
and I’m just in my head as I’m talking and doing the show I can oh that must be Merlin that’s gotta be…
I mean who else would look like that right?
My friend who was there he noticed as well…
so I complete the show which was one of the best shows I think I did there…
and the people were really good and but Merlin he didn’t stay to the end.
He stayed for about two-thirds of the show and then he vanished so I said to my friend after [/otw_shortcode_content_toggle]
