Doc Eason Honored at Castle Awards

 

Doc Eason

The 37th Annual Magic Castle awards show celebrates the incredible talent performing within the clubhouse of The Academy of Magical Arts. Uniformly, those who have appeared at the Magic Castle note the honor is inversely correlated with the pay; but no one is doing it for the money.

Performing among the world’s best in our art, not only hones skills and encourages innovation, it also brings notice and job opportunities.

The Academy’s yearly awards show, then, features the best of the best in our business for their performances in a venue known for demanding perfect skills, new effects, cutting-edge execution, and the polish expected from the top acts of any performing arts.

Doc Eason’s win in the category of Best Bar Magician (a new category) put him up against several significant competitors who perform in the historic WC Fields Magic Bar downstairs at the Magic Castle.

Mr. Eason was instrumental in establishing the WC Fields bar located in the Inner Circle of the Magic Castle as a performing venue, mostly on the strength of his formidable credential of being the resident magician at the Tower Magic Bar in Snowmass Village, CO since 1977.

[Check out the very neat article from the Aspen Times about Mr. Eason, his history at the famous Tower Bar in Snowmass, and his award].

Even the presentation of the award to Mr. Eason was special. WC Fields’ grandson, Everett is a retired local judge and representative of his grandfather’s considerable impact on the performing arts. Mr. Eason joins the select rank of magicians recognized as the best of the best and the first person in history to receive this particular award.

Mr. Eason was surprised and humbled by the significance of the award. He told the audience of his peers,

“I am humbled by this award from my fellow magicians. When I first watched magic at the Tower 28 years ago and was ‘bitten by the magic bug’, receiving such an award was not even on my radar screen. In a way I feel this award is as much recognition of all these years at the Tower as for my appearances at the Magic Castle.”

Mr. Eason’s website is one of our favorites.  You will lose much time out of your day if you start to look around.  He has great jokes, fantastic products, and of course his innovative insights.  This man knows what he is doing and we are lucky to have someone of his stature and experience so accessible. 

Congratulations Doc.
