Wonderful interview. I like the flow of conversation and your pointing out areas we should take note. James was a great guest and freely shared his thoughts and feelings. Very enjoyable conversation.
Another excellent interview Michael! James was an excellent guest, with very interesting answers. I don't know if it would be possible, given that these interviews are in person, but I think it would be Very interesting to watch a conversation between you and Jason Ladanye!
@@MichaelVincentMagic hearing James speak so passionately about Call to the Colours has motivated me to give that effect some proper study. I would love to see his interpretation at the Circle.
@@cheekytrickery Here is something to consider Alex, when you see Jame’s performance, it will fool you, it fooled me and caught me off guard. He did a lot of work on it. He tore the routine apart and started again. His version is the BEST I HAVE SEEN. You will have to work equally as hard to find your natural expression. It’s what I strive to do with every single one of my compositions. You do great work, I know you can take things further than what is on the printed page. Good luck.
@@MichaelVincentMagic thank you, I'm currently focused on further developing The Showdown so I've added this to the top of my list. I'll try to get down to James's performance soon. I'm excited for your show, not long now.
What I love about these conversations is that they are not scripted which allows vulnerability & raw honesty. In a world where so many people lie & pretend it’s very refreshing to see & hear real conversation. Absolutely wonderful! Thank you Michael & James for the refreshing conversation.
Spot on Serenia; there is a reason why I have these specific guest. I know them, I have worked with them, I have studied them. I know what I want to say and talk about. I don’t need a script, the script is created out of my relationship with them. This means I care enough to go deeper to learn more. Did you notice how James declared he was AGGRESSIVE approaching people? Not once in our relationship have I experience aggression from him. If people are truly willing to be vulnerable, we can learn so much more about each other🙏🏽
@@MichaelVincentMagic yes I did & you commented on that part of the conversation and stated that you have never saw that side of him ever. I’m so glad that you have decided to do these podcasts because there is value for everyone in these conversations.
It's always a pleasure to listen to these conversations. Very well done and the topics discussed are always excellent. And all this without preparation. I'm looking forward to the next episode. Thank you so much, Michael.
Every magican should have had the experience of beeing really amazed at some point in his life and had the feeling that magic could be real in order to be able to pass that experience on to his audience. Treat them with respect, build a connection with them early on and present only strong magic that you enjoy because this joy is transmitted to the spectators. This also creates a connection.
These conversations are excellent and, I believe, important. I think a conversation between yourself and Fay Presto would be most interesting. Great work!!
Just Pure, Authentic, Conversation. This Is Magic.

Loving your passion and questions they make me ponder.
Thanks, What did you learn?
@@MichaelVincentMagic Respecting your audience because there engagement is when the magic happens.
I love these conversations :)
James is an absolutely wonderful performer and a fantastic person. The world needs to know more about him. Great choice.
Thanks Paul, let’s set up a date for your conversation 👍🏽

A wonderful conversation, Mike. I always look forward to this series. James shared a lot of relatable things about the modern walkaround circuit.
Thank you Alex, what did you learn for yourself?

@@DominikRMagic excellent, thank you for sharing. You cannot give or share what you don’t possess or own 👍🏽
That was a fantastic conversation, thoroughly enjoyed that

Good idea I will ask Fay if she is interested
Great conversation, Mike! Fenik (from Mexico) will be in France on 4/30. Would you do a video with him?
