Pop Haydn's Magic Shows
Pop is an award-winning magician, and performs for all sorts of groups and venues, from private parties, television, cruise ships and theatrical stages to corporate events, trade shows and sales meetings.
He has won six performing "Magician of the Year" awards from his fellow magicians at the Magic Castle in Hollywood.
He works equally well as a Close-Up performer doing small sleight of hand magic with cards, coins, sponge balls, rings and other small objects, or as a stand-up performer on a big stage with newspapers, scarves, rope, and other larger objects.
Pop combines humor and fun with unbelievable and startling prestidigitation.
Find out about Pop's Close-Up Magic if you need to have circulating magic at a large gathering, or want a show for a small group of twenty to thirty people.
For larger groups, a stand-up or stage show is often a better fit.
Pop does several different Stage Shows that can go from 30 minutes to an hour.
Pop also enjoys performing his hysterical routines with the Shell Game, Fast and Loose, and Three-Card Monte at Casino Nights for clubs, charities and corporate events. His amazing skill and knowledge of the history and psychology of these ancient swindles, along with his wit and humor adds interest and fun to any event. Pop can take their chips and make them like it. He has total control of the games, and can win and lose as he chooses.
Pop also does a fascinating Lecture on Skagway and the Alaskan Gold Rush, and the infamous 19th Century gangster known as Jefferson Randolph Soapy" Smith, and about the Con Men and Gamblers of the American West.
He includes arresting demonstrations of all the classic street cons, including Three-Card Monte, The Shell Game and Fast and Loose. He also does a lecture on the history of the American Medicine Show, which became the model for radio and eventually television in the 20th Century--give them a free show to keep their attention, and then sell them a product. He has produced instructional DVDs and written books on the history and psychology and methods of these con men, and they are sold to the magic and gambling fraternity through Pop's company, School for Scoundrels.
