Mark Wilson has done just about all that can be done in the magic business. Plus, he has a great memory and is a wonderful man. His new series in Genii, The Inside Story, is fascinating reading. Who knew his polished, professional television appearances were often assembled with little time, no money, and incomplete rehearsals.
Tonight (Saturday), you will have a chance to talk with this legend of our craft on MagicBroadcast.
His struggles with the networks to provide an incredible weekly show despite the absence of a budget, rehearsal studios, or staff seem impossible given the product that we all saw on live television.
In the several times we?ve met Mr. Wilson, he has been so gracious and kind. His patience with our questions about his shows (including his consulting with Bill Bixby on NBC?s The Magician) was phenomenal.
It is difficult to imagine a person more deserving of a great ego, and yet Mr. Wilson presents himself as a man truly interested in encouraging others to do well.
Mr. Wilson has recently released his incredible Magic Bingo. He has used the startling effect since the late 1960s in conjunction with his corporate entertaining. Everyone in the audience receives a bingo card and is told that as the numbers are read, the first to shout ?bingo,? will win the prize. We would love to hear the sound of all 3,000 members of a sales team scream out ?bingo? at the same time as they all win on the same last number.
