John Moehring wrote a great biography entitled "The Magical Life of Marshall Brodien". Marshall has done it all; a carnival midway talker, a hypnotist, a trail blazer in the trade show business, corporate entertainer, creator of TV Magic Cards and multiple magic kits for himself, Lance Burton, Siegfried & Roy and others, plus a star on the syndicated TV show, Bozo's Circus as "Wizzo the Wizard". I visited his home in 2008 and took several photos of his incredible museum.

Due to his current mental incapacity, I could not reach out to record a podcast with him, but I could do the next best thing by talking with one of his closest friends, Mark Holstein. He recounts stories from Marshall's life including lots of fun stories and insight.

You can see the photos I took of Marshall's museum, plus see a couple short videos of him giving his pitch as a carnival talker and of course listen to our podcast at: http://themagicwordpodcast.com/scottwell......-brodien

Thanks for sharing.

Scott, this was a very interesting and informative segment! All that I knew of Marshal was just the clean cut "TV magic cards" guy from the commercials. I didn't know much of the hidden details of his life. Very cool, Thank You!
