Lee Asher is back from Asia last Tuesday and, after a couple of days to recover from Jet Lag, he’s called into my show, Live From The Magic Store. (Saturdays at noon.)
Lee tells us tales of his travels from Hong Kong to Hangzhou, the old friends and new, the West Lake Magic Festival and Competition, bullet trains, Baiju and Busan, it’s all recapped in this interview.
Here’s the recording:

In today’s broadcast, we join Lee Asher at dinner with J.B. Dumas and Michael Lam.
Michael, a commercial, professional, close-up and stage magician from Hong Kong, is kind enough to take time to speak with Lee about magic and how it varies in different parts of China. They also speak of the motivation to become a magician in China, the culture of the performing arts there, and what role China is playing in the global theater of our craft.

Most interestingly, they talk about a ceremony they attended the previous night, the people they met and the things that they saw and did there. Listen to hear Michael quote the Master most profoundly.
(A big THANK-YOU to Lee Asher for these amazing recordings.)
