Terry Richison Wins Big – Jadoo Impresses Too!Inside MagicMagic News Updated Daily for the Professional Magician

The Pulitzer
Prize Winning St. Louis Post-Dispatch
features Jadoo (a/k/a Josh Routh) for not his magic but also the incredible
crowd reaction to his brand of magic and comedy at an International
Brotherhood of Magicians' contest in the St. Louis area.

Jadoo pulled and pulled on the
endless magic rope coming out of his jacket sleeve. Searching, he found the
other end coming out of his pant leg. Tugging more, he finally pulled the whole
rope out – along with his boxer shorts.

The crowd at the West County
YMCA erupted, especially
the children. It was a moment magicians live for.

Jadoo told reporters it is not about winning a particular contest,
they find the greatest satisfaction in the audience reaction. "It's about
making people gasp in amazement or burst into laughter. It's about making them
wonder, 'How in the world did he do that?' and leaving them sitting there with their
mouths open.

Congratulations to Terry Richison for his win at the Sunday
competition. Mr. Richison travels the
country with an illusion show but used sleight-of-hand to bring home the
championship.

As part of his act, he had a
volunteer burn a dollar bill from an audience member. The bill – same serial
number and ripped corner – somehow reappeared in a lemon cut open by another
volunteer. "It's just as fun for me to be up there than it is for
them," he said.

It typifies what we think a working professional should have to get his or her
message out to professional clients.

Jadoo works as an actor and was recently started his own
company, Abra-Kid-Abra to conduct summer camps and after-school programs to
teach magic, comedy and circus skills.

Jadoo trained at the prestigious Clown Conservatory in San Francisco. He learned more about his craft and how to
interact with all different types of audiences — including a YMCA auditorium
full of kids ready to "see magical things."

"As a kid, I was always fascinated by performers and
what they brought into people's lives," Jadoo said. "There are always
going to be people like us. There has to be people like us."
