What makes someone a "legend"?
In my opinion, it is someone who has achieved more than just fame (and possible fortune), but has risen to the top of their field. In the case of Kozmo, his is a name that is often mentioned when magicians talk about street magic performers/buskers. After 30,000 performances (and counting), I think Kozmo has it down cold! He knows what he is doing and he's doing it well. Sure, he is just a "face in a crowd" as far as the general populace goes because none of the general public can probably name any street performer...ever. Just ask one of your non-magician friends or co-workers to name a street performer of any kind, not just a magician. But among magicians, Kozmo is one who stands at the top of the heap with a select few others like Gazzo, Cellini, Johnny Fox, The "Butterfly Man", and a handful of others. In this week's podcast, Kozmo talks about his mentor, the late, great Cellini and some stories about their time together. Perhaps more interestingly, Kozmo talks about how he doesn't want to be like Cellini. Kozmo also talks about working in the street, how he draws crowds and some stories from the street. Kozmo is also the producer of "Reel Magic" the digital magic magazine that is published bi-monthly.
