2:21
Speaker 3: wedge salad that I'm eating and just trying to be
2:23
Speaker 3: a good boy eating my vegetables and so forth. And
2:27
Speaker 3: the lady sitting next to me, older lady. I'd guess
2:29
Speaker 3: she's probably like maybe sixty five seventy some of shit,
2:32
Speaker 3: somewhere in that range.
2:33
Speaker 2: I just asked her. I said, I'm assuming you're here
2:35

Speaker 2: She goes, that's a thing.
2:45
Speaker 3: I said, well, evidently it is, because there's about thirty
2:47
Speaker 3: thousand people here that are attending. She turned out to

4:36
Speaker 3: we got plenty hurry. I did all that nice weather
4:40
Speaker 3: in New York? Did you even know what to do?
4:41
Speaker 7: Well?
4:42
Speaker 4: I mean it was it was very kind of cloudy
4:44
Speaker 4: because of the snow, you know, like it was just
4:48
Speaker 4: one of these misty but you know what, it was warm,
4:50
Speaker 4: it was. I think we reached forty five. Wow, you're
4:54
Speaker 4: so on Thursday, practically summer. I know, I was feeling like, wow,
4:58
Speaker 4: I don't I don't really need the thick, heavy coat anymore.
5:01
Speaker 1: So yeah, no, it's weird.
5:03
Speaker 3: I'm married to a California and she's always covetched about
5:07
Speaker 3: the New York weather, and so it's so cool. I
5:09
Speaker 3: can't you know, someday we have to move about and
5:12
Speaker 3: after we had the week of zero, like at the
5:14
Speaker 3: end of January. She literally like when it did get
5:18
Speaker 3: into the mid thirties for the first time, she goes,
5:20
Speaker 3: you know, it's not so bad.
5:21
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, Yeah, it's not so bad. Yeah was out
5:25
Speaker 4: a coat. No, it was. It was really wonderful. And
5:27
Speaker 4: New York is making its way back as far as
5:30
Speaker 4: you know, trying to get the trash off the streets,
5:33
Speaker 4: and you know, they keep extending the parking the alternate
5:38
Speaker 4: side of the street parking, and and so they're getting
5:41
Speaker 4: these garbage mounds in between the cars. It's just an
5:44
Speaker 4: awful mess. But you know, I think this TikTok that's
5:48
Speaker 4: going around of the pigeon eating the rat hole with
5:52
Speaker 4: the rat kind of I mean, it is just it.
5:55
Speaker 4: It creeps me out, and it's just getting more and
5:58
Speaker 4: more views. That I think, which got the mayor in
6:02
Speaker 4: office is now finally getting him to get into gear
6:06
Speaker 4: here and getting rid of the garbage, because it's like
6:09
Speaker 4: you can't have you know, the pigeon eating the rat
6:12
Speaker 4: hole makes the pizza rat look almost like civilized, like
6:17
Speaker 4: he's a lovely little pizza rat. He's bringing the pizza
6:21
Speaker 4: down the steps of the subway so he can have
6:23
Speaker 4: a nice little meal. This one's like on top of
6:25
Speaker 4: the garbage mount. I'm just gonna eat this rat right here,
6:29
Speaker 4: and it's this is where we are.
6:31
Speaker 3: But I have I have to use this as a
6:33
Speaker 3: slug for the one of the hour openers for the
6:35
Speaker 3: weekend show. It's got to be, you know, Live from
6:37
Speaker 3: Times Square, where the pigeons are now eating the pizza
6:40
Speaker 3: rats hole.
6:41
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, So you know, I.
6:44
Speaker 3: Think it was you'll be in a private interview once
6:48
Speaker 3: related to the city that more mayors have lost their
6:51
Speaker 3: second Oh yeah election over the sanitation.
6:55
Speaker 4: Well Mayor Lindsay. Mayor Lindsay lost because of that. Yeah,
6:58
Speaker 4: he couldn't figure out. But same time he was running
7:01
Speaker 4: for president. I mean, this is the problem that you know,
7:04
Speaker 4: being the mayor of New York City is probably the
7:05
Speaker 4: toughest job.
7:06
Speaker 2: Right way harder than being governor.
7:08
Speaker 4: Yeah, And the moment they start, at the moment they
7:11
Speaker 4: get into office, they start looking for the next gig,
7:14
Speaker 4: and that will come back to bite you. And that's
7:17
Speaker 4: what that's what has happened with so many. Happened to
7:19
Speaker 4: Mayor Lindsay, happened to Mayor to Blasio, remember he was
7:22
Speaker 4: thinking of running for president and that did.
7:25
Speaker 2: He ran and it wasn't good. And Bloomberg ran and
7:27
Speaker 2: it wasn't good.
7:27
Speaker 3: No, Numberg spent sixty eight million dollars through three primary
7:31
Speaker 3: races and got four votes.
7:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not good.
7:35
Speaker 4: Yeah, just stick to the job at hand, because frankly,
7:38
Speaker 4: there's a lot of work to be done and a
7:40
Speaker 4: lot more learning to be done on this and this
7:43
Speaker 4: is a tough job, and this on the job training
7:45
Speaker 4: is not ideal. Even the New York Post in the
7:48
Speaker 4: last Sunday, my god, what a blistering editorial on Mayor
7:53
Speaker 4: Mondani that it basically said, you are failing in this
7:56
Speaker 4: first month and a half, but we're here to help.
7:59
Speaker 4: But learn that, you know, to take the help. Don't
8:02
Speaker 4: think that you can do it on your own. And
8:04
Speaker 4: I think one of the things we saw this week
8:05
Speaker 4: was that he's backtracking on removing some of the homeless encampments,
8:10
Speaker 4: you know, because they've just they sprouted up so quickly.
8:13
Speaker 4: It's almost like when they got the green light, boom up,
8:16
Speaker 4: they showed up. And it's almost like the tense.
8:18
Speaker 3: You know, letting eighteen New Yorkers die in the ninetelosed
8:22
Speaker 3: cold nineteen died.
8:24
Speaker 2: To expose cold was a good idea. I mean the
8:27
Speaker 2: mayor should have.
8:27
Speaker 4: Been impeached for that, right and well, in his someone
8:31
Speaker 4: in his team kind of said, well, people die every
8:33
Speaker 4: day in their own homes.
8:35
Speaker 3: That sense, it is pallace respond carrying horrible dummy, right.
8:40
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, horrible. I mean, you know, most mayors
8:43
Speaker 4: or executives would let that person just go right then
8:46
Speaker 4: and there because they don't have the heart to be
8:47
Speaker 4: in this in this position, because you have to have compassion.
8:51
Speaker 3: Now we bring run in the city right now by
8:53
Speaker 3: a bunch of teenage hooligans, and they don't know anything,
8:55
Speaker 3: and they don't know how to do anything, and they're
8:57
Speaker 3: making Mayor Adams and Mayor Deblasi looked somewhat competent, which
9:01
Speaker 3: I thought Mayor de Blasia looking competent would never be
9:04
Speaker 3: a comparison I'd ever make.
9:05
Speaker 2: But anyway, we've got it.
9:08
Speaker 3: Let's forget about all the bad us and the pigeon
9:10
Speaker 3: eating the rats and all that stuff in the trash.
9:13
Speaker 2: Don't think about the trash. Let's think about making stuff disappear.
9:16
Speaker 4: Yes, we're going to have a guest on who I
9:18
Speaker 4: love invited him back so that Kevin can have a
9:22
Speaker 4: little experience with him. Jamie Allen from a Maze which
9:26
Speaker 4: is Off Broadway. He's a magician, mentalist, fabulous entertainer. And
9:32
Speaker 4: also we're going to have Tiffany on from NYC Tourism,
9:36
Speaker 4: So Tiffany towsand's going to join us back to talk
9:38
Speaker 4: about NYC Off Broadway Week because winter outing's over, but
9:42
Speaker 4: the party continues with Off Broadway Week where you can
9:44
Speaker 4: get two for one tickets.
9:46
Speaker 1: Cool.
9:46
Speaker 3: And I've got a daughter who has a birthday in
9:49
Speaker 3: that season, so I might just have saved some money.
9:51
Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, there's a lot of great there's a lot
9:54
Speaker 4: of great offerings. Yeah. For families, you can see The
9:57
Speaker 4: Little Mermaid. You can go see a Maze gazillion bubble show.
10:00
Speaker 4: That's always fun.
10:01
Speaker 3: Well, let's let's have those conversations. Yeah, and why don't
10:05
Speaker 3: you stick around while Christina and I disappear to pay
10:07
Speaker 3: some bills. Kevin mccallaugh, glad to be with you. I'm
10:14
Speaker 3: speaking with Danny Patino and we're talking about food for
10:17
Speaker 3: the poor and feeding children this month. Danny, what are
10:20
Speaker 3: these children experiencing?
10:21
Speaker 1: Our bodies are miraculous.
10:23
Speaker 8: They will adapt to altitude, to temperature, to stress, but
10:27
Speaker 8: there's one thing that they should never adapt to, and
10:29
Speaker 8: that is hunger. And we met a young girl named
10:31
Speaker 8: Daniela and I'll do it us. And she's built a
10:33
Speaker 8: tolerance to not eating. I'm gonna let that sit in
10:36
Speaker 8: for a moment. She's built a tolerance to noise, she's
10:39
Speaker 8: built a tolerance to discomfort, to inconvenience, but to hunger.
10:43
Speaker 8: And that's the body's ultimate surrender. That's when empty becomes
10:46
Speaker 8: the new normal. And that tolerance isn't strengthful, it's a
10:49
Speaker 8: survival mode and it's the body learning to function on
10:52
Speaker 8: less than what it needs. And it's a childhood adapting
10:55
Speaker 8: to scarcity instead of abundance. And once that's built, that
10:59
Speaker 8: tall lewance is going to just shape everything from growth,
11:02
Speaker 8: learning and hope.
11:03
Speaker 3: Eight fivey five nine oh seven four six seven three
11:07
Speaker 3: eight fivey five nine oh seven four six seven three.
11:10
Speaker 3: You can also text hunger to five to one, five
11:12
Speaker 3: to five five. What does the perfect celebration look like?
11:16
Speaker 3: Great weather, great company, and unforgettable views. Just imagine your birthday, anniversary,
11:21
Speaker 3: or company party set against the iconic New York City
11:24
Speaker 3: Skyline sound too good to be true, it's not. When
11:28
Speaker 3: the weather warms up, there's no better place to celebrate
11:30

16:00
Speaker 11: better when you can have all the bells and whistles
16:03
Speaker 11: and amaze really has that.
16:04
Speaker 6: I mean you've seen the show.
16:05
Speaker 11: It's very different to any magic show that I've ever done,
16:08
Speaker 11: and I've never seen a magic show like it because
16:10
Speaker 11: it's so story driven and heartfelt. And I think I
16:15
Speaker 11: always thought I wanted to have a show in Las
16:16
Speaker 11: Vegas when I was younger, and this is not a
16:18
Speaker 11: show that would work in Las Vegas. I always want
16:21
Speaker 11: I never thought I could do a show that could
16:22
Speaker 11: hold in New York City and London.
16:24
Speaker 6: And the response has been incredible. It's very emotional.
16:27
Speaker 12: Yeah.
16:28
Speaker 4: I mean you started when you opened tell Us, when
16:30
Speaker 4: you opened, and I think the last time we had
16:32
Speaker 4: you on Radio Night Live, you would think this might
16:35
Speaker 4: be like a three or four month thing, right or
16:37
Speaker 4: tell Us? And now how long has it been?
16:40
Speaker 11: So we're about to hit three hundred performances next Thursday.
16:44
Speaker 4: Eve wow.
16:45
Speaker 6: We opened in July of last year.
16:48
Speaker 11: We are currently on sale through May, but a little
16:52
Speaker 11: bit tells me that that may very well continue.
16:55
Speaker 4: Oh wow, And are you adapting to New York lifestyle?
17:00
Speaker 4: How's that going because you've got a family in the
17:01
Speaker 4: whole bit. I mean you've been.
17:03
Speaker 6: Yeah.
17:04
Speaker 11: Now, I love New York. I mean, you know, it's
17:06
Speaker 11: not that dissimilar to London. Obviously there's main, main differences,
17:10
Speaker 11: but it does feel very similar, you know, in terms
17:13
Speaker 11: of the theater. I mean, I just feel at home
17:15
Speaker 11: as I did in London because of having being surrounded
17:18
Speaker 11: by all the entertainment. It really is, you know, you know,
17:21
Speaker 11: in whichever order, London and New York and the entertainment
17:23
Speaker 11: capitals of the world for this kind of thing.
17:26
Speaker 6: So I mean, I couldn't feel more at home.
17:28
Speaker 11: We live right in Hell's Kitchen, so we're very close
17:30
Speaker 11: to our venue, so we're really in the thick of
17:31
Speaker 11: it all the time. Because we work so hard over
17:34
Speaker 11: at the theater, we're not always we're not always around town,
17:37
Speaker 11: so a lot of things are still new to us.
17:38
Speaker 6: We're still going into Times Square. It hasn't gotten old
17:40
Speaker 6: to us yet.
17:41
Speaker 4: Oh, don't let it get old. Kevin as well, I mean,
17:43
Speaker 4: Kevin is originally from Texas, but he is a love
17:45
Speaker 4: for Times Square like no other that I know.
17:48
Speaker 3: I love it well, and I just went to London
17:51
Speaker 3: for the first time this Christmas, and everybody was talking
17:54
Speaker 3: smack to me about New York Christmas because I've always
17:56
Speaker 3: bragged about I've read the holidays here or in New York.
17:59
Speaker 2: And I'm like, no, no, no, it's not going to live
18:00
Speaker 2: up to it.
18:01
Speaker 3: I came back and they're like, so, let me tell
18:02
Speaker 3: you about London Christmas, and I'm like it was pretty good.
18:06
Speaker 6: Well, I have the same feelings Keving about New York.
18:09
Speaker 6: I really did.
18:09
Speaker 11: I mean, there's so many things that you see, you know,
18:13
Speaker 11: even just from the even just from the big Tree
18:15
Speaker 11: and the ice drink and all the things in the
18:17
Speaker 11: Macy's Day parade. I that's Thanksgiving, but it all feels
18:20
Speaker 11: like it's wrapped into the Colon season and it was.
18:24
Speaker 6: It's just so exciting. I think it's great.
18:28
Speaker 4: Well, I have to I have to just share with
18:30
Speaker 4: our audience. If you love magic, Amaze is going to
18:34
Speaker 4: blow your mind because it's not just magic, and as
18:36
Speaker 4: Jamie was saying, it's really a story. So it kind
18:39
Speaker 4: of fits as if it's like a Broadway play and
18:42
Speaker 4: magic unfold and you you know you're not from New York,
18:46
Speaker 4: but you've you've certainly you fit right in. I have
18:51
Speaker 4: to say you feel like you're like a New Yorker, but.
18:53
Speaker 2: It's it's just the same as you're strange enough to
18:56
Speaker 2: be able to be.
19:00
Speaker 6: You know.
19:00
Speaker 4: This is a story about your family and growing up
19:03
Speaker 4: in sort of this interesting family where your folks owned
19:07
Speaker 4: a pub along a roadside and people would come in
19:10
Speaker 4: in order to gain more I guess audience. You would
19:13
Speaker 4: have shows, and as a very young child, you were
19:17
Speaker 4: able to hone your craft, you know, so it's like, hey,
19:20
Speaker 4: bring Jamie down, we have a lull.
19:23
Speaker 13: Yeah.
19:23
Speaker 6: I used to do openings for the shows there. My
19:25
Speaker 6: dad built it.
19:25
Speaker 11: It was about i'd say about one hundred and twenty
19:28
Speaker 11: seats when it was packed, and my dad built a
19:32
Speaker 11: you know, a proper stage and lighting and sound and
19:35
Speaker 11: everything in there, and it was a we had such
19:38
Speaker 11: great performers used to come because my mom and dad
19:40
Speaker 11: are in show visits the whole life previously, so they
19:43
Speaker 11: had so many friends and colleagues for across their life.
19:47
Speaker 11: And I used to do sort of ten minutes to
19:49
Speaker 11: open for those shows every couple of weeks, and it
19:52
Speaker 11: was always something new. I was always having to come
19:54
Speaker 11: up with new material, so I learned to try and
19:57
Speaker 11: figure out new tricks quite an earlier.
20:01
Speaker 2: What made you?
20:03
Speaker 3: Because I talked to magicians from time to time and
20:05
Speaker 3: they all have kind of like an original origin story each.
20:08
Speaker 3: But what was it that made you fall in love
20:10
Speaker 3: with the illusion and the ability to make someone It's
20:16
Speaker 3: almost like it's an emotional thing, like you make them
20:18
Speaker 3: feel something that maybe they want to feel, but you
20:22
Speaker 3: help them by suggestion and sometimes sleight of hand to
20:24
Speaker 3: be able to feel it. Like, what's what's the magic
20:26
Speaker 3: for you? Those two things that made me get into it?
20:29
Speaker 6: Really?
20:29
Speaker 11: I mean I did get a magic set when I
20:31
Speaker 11: was five, which is covered in my show, and that's
20:33
Speaker 11: how most magicians stuff. That's not how you become a magician.
20:35
Speaker 11: A magic set does not make you a magician. Right
20:40
Speaker 11: when I was at eight, I found a collection of
20:43
Speaker 11: a magician's material in an antique shop with my mom
20:47
Speaker 11: and we ended up getting all of this stuff very
20:51
Speaker 11: little money there was, and it was all these books
20:54
Speaker 11: and all these old props. That was the thing that really,
20:57
Speaker 11: all of a sudden, I had a collection and I
21:00
Speaker 11: fell into it. So when I was surrounded by so
21:03
Speaker 11: much knowledge in a time before the internet, so many
21:05
Speaker 11: magic books, but prior to then, I would say that.
21:09
Speaker 11: My love for the wonder of it was around when
21:12
Speaker 11: I was about six or seven. My dad showed me
21:16
Speaker 11: a trick where you can take a small ball and
21:18
Speaker 11: apparently put it in one hand and keep it in
21:20
Speaker 11: the other hand. We've all sort of seen a trick
21:22
Speaker 11: like that, but I remember my dad was able to
21:25
Speaker 11: do it quite well, and he showed me sort of
21:27
Speaker 11: the mechanic of it, and that was the first time
21:30
Speaker 11: it wasn't the magic. So that was the first time
21:32
Speaker 11: that something went off in my brain, going Wow, you
21:35
Speaker 11: can make it look like you're doing something that you're
21:38
Speaker 11: not doing and make people think that. And I can
21:41
Speaker 11: clearly remember, and I know it's a core memory because
21:44
Speaker 11: I don't have many memories from that age, and I
21:46
Speaker 11: can remember exactly where I was stood on the stairwell
21:49
Speaker 11: behind the bar which led into the lounge bar for
21:53
Speaker 11: the pub where my dad.
21:54
Speaker 6: Was showing it to me, So it must have really stuck.
21:56
Speaker 6: I I can see it vividly.
22:00
Speaker 4: Light of hand, and you've mastered it. It's not just
22:03
Speaker 4: with the ball. I mean he does this thing, Kevin
22:04
Speaker 4: with these cards like it's a whole deck of cards
22:07
Speaker 4: and it's just mind. I'm staring so hard, And I
22:12
Speaker 4: guess that's probably the trick because we're staring all at
22:15
Speaker 4: one thing, and then you're able to do something when
22:17
Speaker 4: you see that the audience is mesmerized into what you
22:20
Speaker 4: want them to see, and you're able to figure, you know,
22:23
Speaker 4: do something else.
22:23
Speaker 6: I was, well, it's quite a common word, misdirection.
22:25
Speaker 11: It's something that's made it into all of our language
22:27
Speaker 11: when it comes from magic. And it's not as simple
22:31
Speaker 11: as oh, wave my hand over here so you won't
22:34
Speaker 11: look over here, and it's you know, a misdirection can
22:37
Speaker 11: be many things, including causing you to really think something
22:41
Speaker 11: else at that time.
22:42
Speaker 3: Well, we're very glad to have you, Jamie staying with
22:45
Speaker 3: us for another segment. It's Radio Night Live. We try
22:47
Speaker 3: to have fun on Friday. That's why we call it
22:49
Speaker 3: Fun Friday. She's Christine, I'm Kevin. We're coming right back
22:52
Speaker 3: from New York.
22:52
Speaker 6: Of the way.
22:58
Speaker 1: Dottie Herman has had her eye on real estate for
23:00
Speaker 1: years now. She's sharing her personal stories of working her
23:04
Speaker 1: way up the corporate ladder, achieving the American dream, at
23:07
Speaker 1: overcoming life's obstacles. Dotty Herman believes successes and truly success
23:12
Speaker 1: unless you share it with others. Step inside the personal
23:15
Speaker 1: side of Dotty's life as she cracks the code on
23:18
Speaker 1: what it takes to achieve your American dream. Real talk
23:21
Speaker 1: with Dottie Herman at Sunday's at ten am. Right here
23:24
Speaker 1: am nine seventy the answer right after the Cats roundtable.
23:29
Speaker 14: This is Seth Leafson for townhall dot Com. Next week,
23:32
Speaker 14: President Donald Trump will deliver his State of the Union address.
23:35
Speaker 14: The rest of the legislative agenda will be set for
23:37
Speaker 14: the year, and of course, will be off to the
23:39
Speaker 14: midterm elections. In November, A great many Democrats planned to
23:42
Speaker 14: boycott the State of the Union. One Democratic Senator, Chris
23:45
Speaker 14: Murphy told The New York Times, quote, these aren't normal times,
23:48
Speaker 14: and we have to stop.
23:49
Speaker 1: Doing normal things.
23:50
Speaker 14: Close quote In that sentence, Senator Murphy spoke volumes. What's
23:54
Speaker 14: abnormal to the Democrats is the rule of lobbying enforced
23:57
Speaker 14: conservative economic policy, the duration of the leadership from Marxist
24:01
Speaker 14: narco terrorist leaders, and potentially with Iran removing Islamic radicals
24:06
Speaker 14: and revolutionaries as we had into the midterm elections. Let's
24:09
Speaker 14: remember what the Democrats think is normal. It's the opposite
24:12
Speaker 14: of all that, living with and ignoring an illegal invasion
24:15
Speaker 14: of America, coddling Marxist drug dealing, thuggery, and appeasing the
24:18
Speaker 14: leading state sponsor of terrorism in the world, all the
24:21
Speaker 14: while jacking up our taxes even higher. These are the
24:24
Speaker 14: stakes this year. Don't take them passively.

27:03
Speaker 1: The Larry Elder Show weekday evenings at nine on a
27:06
Speaker 1: I'm nine to seventy the Answer from New York. It's
27:15
Speaker 1: Radio Night Life with Kevin McCullough.
27:19
Speaker 2: Welcome back. You're listening to Radio Night Lives Fun Friday.
27:22
Speaker 2: She's Christina and I'm Kevin and our very special guest.
27:25
Speaker 3: Jamie Allen, who if you listen for a length of time,
27:27
Speaker 3: you may wonder if the pub that he grew up
27:29
Speaker 3: in served butterbeer and actually boarded the train at nine
27:34
Speaker 3: and three quarters that was building Jane along that line.
27:39
Speaker 3: This is magic still as magical today as it was
27:43
Speaker 3: maybe in my generation, before the net and before a
27:46
Speaker 3: lot of these secrets that we you know. I think
27:48
Speaker 3: some of the charm of all this is that we
27:50
Speaker 3: didn't have explanations for everything. And now you've got an
27:53
Speaker 3: air app in your pocket that you can say, how
27:55
Speaker 3: do you do his magic trick and like tells you
27:57
Speaker 3: right away takes all the fun out of it.
27:59
Speaker 6: That ain't true.
28:00
Speaker 11: I think that we try to evolve, as you know,
28:03
Speaker 11: in art form, and we try to figure out new
28:05
Speaker 11: ways that people don't know. We use combinations of methods
28:10
Speaker 11: to try and keep that magic alive. And also in
28:12
Speaker 11: a time of AI, I think people are really seeking
28:15
Speaker 11: out those experiences and things that they know that they
28:18
Speaker 11: can trust, because now you can't trust anything you see
28:20
Speaker 11: or here online you don't know.
28:22
Speaker 6: You have to you have to do a bit of
28:23
Speaker 6: digging to make sure it's real.
28:25
Speaker 11: In the case of magic, well, I know I saw it,
28:28
Speaker 11: and we still want that wonder and that disbelief. But
28:31
Speaker 11: I think with magic, we agree to participate in a deception,
28:33
Speaker 11: and we want to know that deception is happening live
28:36
Speaker 11: there I've seen plenty of well known magicians using AI
28:40
Speaker 11: online videos to enhance them and I am not a
28:44
Speaker 11: fan of that at all. I think it's going to
28:45
Speaker 11: I think it's going to move away from TV and.
28:47
Speaker 2: Online ruins the craft completely.
28:49
Speaker 11: I think I think it will move away over time.
28:51
Speaker 11: I think it'll end up becoming more of a live
28:53
Speaker 11: experience well.
28:55
Speaker 4: And I think one of the elements that sets apart
28:58
Speaker 4: your show, Jamie Allen Amaze, which is playing at the
29:01
Speaker 4: New World Stages, is the audience participation. So you know,
29:08
Speaker 4: you pick on folks, you engage them. A lot of
29:11
Speaker 4: them are children or you know, young adults, which I
29:14
Speaker 4: think is really nice because there are very few shows
29:17
Speaker 4: that are family friendly. Yours is definitely one of them.
29:20
Speaker 4: But how do you pick those folks? And is that
29:23
Speaker 4: a risk to you? Because it's almost like these tricks
29:26
Speaker 4: of these mentalists, whether you tell them to write something
29:29
Speaker 4: down or you and it's all secret and then at
29:32
Speaker 4: the end there's a great big reveal and a lot
29:34
Speaker 4: of some of it has to do with mathematics, which
29:37
Speaker 4: I think is also fascinating. But has there been in
29:41
Speaker 4: your time here in New York have you had an
29:44
Speaker 4: audience member that kind of shocked you or anything that
29:47
Speaker 4: went awry.
29:48
Speaker 11: We've not had anything go wrong. We've had certainly a
29:52
Speaker 11: real mixed bag of people. I mean each show is
29:55
Speaker 11: very different and we use a lot of people, so
29:59
Speaker 11: no one thing hang is on any one person. I
30:01
Speaker 11: mean there's lots of people that come up to in
30:03
Speaker 11: the show. There's moments that everybody participates at once in
30:06
Speaker 11: the audience without having it. If you don't want to
30:07
Speaker 11: be part of the magic, you don't have to be,
30:09
Speaker 11: but you can feel it in your own hands.
30:12
Speaker 6: There are there.
30:14
Speaker 11: I've usually taken the strategy over the last fifteen years
30:17
Speaker 11: of my life. I don't go and say to somebody,
30:20
Speaker 11: would you help me? I asked who wants to help?
30:25
Speaker 11: And I've found that by doing that, I'm and if
30:29
Speaker 11: somebody's hand is too eager, you just become a spyder
30:33
Speaker 11: sense for it. You know where you just you can
30:35
Speaker 11: just see that that person is going to be good.
30:37
Speaker 11: I look them in the eyes. I see that they
30:39
Speaker 11: understand me. I do get the odd person that's had
30:41
Speaker 11: maybe want too many drinks. I mean that's the best thing.
30:45
Speaker 2: Not the kids, but grown up doing magic in a pub.
30:48
Speaker 3: You are you are more qualified for that guy than
30:50
Speaker 3: any magician that's ever worked the game.
30:53
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, it's.
30:55
Speaker 11: Very true, but yeah, I mean getting the people up
30:57
Speaker 11: is one of the big parts of the show for me,
30:58
Speaker 11: and it makes the show different to night. I say,
31:00
Speaker 11: we're going to hit three hundred performances next week, and
31:02
Speaker 11: every show it still feels like the first show because
31:04
Speaker 11: although it has a structured narrative arc and all of
31:08
Speaker 11: that happens in the same way, the experiences along the
31:10
Speaker 11: way are very different.
31:12
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I'm sure, as we all know, on the
31:14
Speaker 4: Broadway circuit, Watermouth is key and I would assume you
31:19
Speaker 4: have benefited from that from all of those folks that
31:22
Speaker 4: you have asked to participate in the show, because how
31:25
Speaker 4: can they not talk about you do.
31:27
Speaker 6: I mean, it's just such an honor.
31:28
Speaker 11: I mean I meet people after the show every night,
31:31
Speaker 11: and I see that I met a lady the other
31:33
Speaker 11: night that had come for the fifth time. But I'm
31:36
Speaker 11: forgound of meeting people that keep coming back and bringing
31:39
Speaker 11: other people with them, or just coming back to watch
31:41
Speaker 11: the show again. And I never expected that to happen
31:44
Speaker 11: as much as it has, and it's really it's such
31:46
Speaker 11: a pleasure and I love meeting the people after the show.
31:49
Speaker 11: It's my favorite part of the show. Actually another twenty minutes.
31:51
Speaker 11: At the end of the show, I stand at the door.
31:53
Speaker 11: I talk to anybody that wants to talk to me,
31:55
Speaker 11: and I really enjoy that finding out what their.
31:58
Speaker 6: Experience was, and it helps me share the show. And
32:00
Speaker 6: I don't know I'm one of them.
32:01
Speaker 4: I'm going to be going back. I'm going to be
32:03
Speaker 4: going back because I about it to my family and
32:05
Speaker 4: I've been talking to you, Kevin, so you've got to
32:07
Speaker 4: bring your family.
32:08
Speaker 3: You know, my kids to be my middle especially he's
32:12
Speaker 3: he's crazy about special effects and magic.
32:15
Speaker 2: And illusions and Harry Potter and all the rest of it.
32:18
Speaker 2: Real quickly, you, of course can't come on Jamie on
32:22
Speaker 2: my show. I mean I know that.
32:23
Speaker 3: When I was in Italy, Christine thought it was her show,
32:26
Speaker 3: but it's actually it's actually at.
32:27
Speaker 2: Least half my show.
32:28
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, you can't come.
32:30
Speaker 3: On my show and not tell me how you saw
32:32
Speaker 3: the Lady in Half. I've always had to know how
32:35
Speaker 3: does the Lady get sought in half?
32:36
Speaker 6: And still, you know what the matter is?
32:39
Speaker 11: With every magic trick, there is seems to be an
32:42
Speaker 11: infinite number of ways to do it.
32:44
Speaker 2: Oh so you're not going to tell me either, fine.
32:46
Speaker 11: So anyway, I will tell you that if you've seen
32:49
Speaker 11: it once, you've seen it again. You may have seen
32:50
Speaker 11: two completely different tricks that have the same outcome.

Speaker 4: the executive vice president for Global Communications for NYC Tourism
37:22
Speaker 4: and Conventions. Tiffany, congratulations to you and the whole crew.
37:26
Speaker 4: Julie Cocher over at NYC Tourism for a fabulous Winter Outing.
37:31
Speaker 4: I know that I went to many a restaurant, I
37:35
Speaker 4: went to Broadway Week and oh my goodness, and also
37:39
Speaker 4: the attractions, it was just fabulous. I'm sorry to see
37:42
Speaker 4: it end. I wish it could continue on One of
37:45
Speaker 4: my friends who owns a restaurant in Grand Central, he
37:49
Speaker 4: was touting its success, saying how fabulous it was and
37:52
Speaker 4: looks forward to the summer. But now NYC Tourism has
37:56
Speaker 4: another program that just launched this Monday, and it goes
37:58
Speaker 4: until March twelfth to basically let the party continue. So
38:02
Speaker 4: why don't you tell our listeners about how we can
38:04
Speaker 4: continue to celebrate our wonderful city.
38:07
Speaker 20: Fantastic and you know we love Winter Outing and it
38:11
Speaker 20: happens through the partnership and magic of more than eight
38:14
Speaker 20: hundred businesses who join it. So yes, we correctly make
38:17
Speaker 20: it happen, but it wouldn't be what it is without
38:19
Speaker 20: the businesses committing and believing in the program. So we
38:22
Speaker 20: continue the party with Off Broadwayek because if you're going
38:25
Speaker 20: to do Broadway Week, you.
38:26
Speaker 21: Can't believe you go to talk about Way, but you
38:28
Speaker 21: have to talk about.
38:29
Speaker 20: Off Broadway because that is something New York does really
38:32
Speaker 20: really well. We have a very vibrant and rope us
38:35
Speaker 20: Off Broadway community that we're very provd and proud of.
38:38
Speaker 20: And so Off Broadway Week is back for this winter
38:42
Speaker 20: and it's the same great offer two for one tickets.
38:45
Speaker 21: We have twenty six shows.
38:47
Speaker 20: Participating for this season, and we actually have sixteen newcomers,
38:51
Speaker 20: which is pretty impressive, so really speaks to the strength
38:54
Speaker 20: and the program.
38:55
Speaker 21: And it's been around actually now since two thousand and nine.
38:58
Speaker 6: Wow.
38:58
Speaker 4: So if we're twenty six shows participating, was that because
39:01
Speaker 4: it was it's twenty twenty six or was that just lucky?
39:05
Speaker 21: I think just a happy coincidence.
39:06
Speaker 4: It's a happy coincidence. Well, we just had Jamie Allen
39:09
Speaker 4: on from Amaze that is one of the participating shows.
39:12
Speaker 4: You also have Heathers, which has gotten so much, so
39:16
Speaker 4: much publicity, so much hype. So I'm excited that that
39:19
Speaker 4: is participating because.
39:20
Speaker 20: I have collt Yeah, aies kid, I watched that movie
39:25
Speaker 20: a lot, so I'm very excited about the show.
39:28
Speaker 4: I know, and I hear my kids, my girls singing
39:30
Speaker 4: it in the in the back of the car, driving
39:32
Speaker 4: me crazy. So let's go see it. Gazillion Bubble Show,
39:36
Speaker 4: Fantastic Perfect Crime. Perfect Crime is one of those off
39:39
Speaker 4: Broadway shows you don't think about, but it's it's been
39:42
Speaker 4: running for a long time. So now I have no excuse, right,
39:47
Speaker 4: I can't teh you know what's on your list, Tiffany.
39:51
Speaker 4: I know that you can't pick favorites, but what do
39:52
Speaker 4: you want to see that you haven't seen? They're all
39:56
Speaker 4: on my list.
39:56
Speaker 20: I have seen the Gazillion Buble Show many times as so.
40:02
Speaker 21: Always the thumbs up.
40:04
Speaker 20: One thing I actually love about this time around, we
40:06
Speaker 20: have four shows that are actually all in Spanish at
40:10
Speaker 20: the Repertorio. So if folks have heard of the Repertorio,
40:13
Speaker 20: it's on twenty seventh Street between Park and lex and
40:16
Speaker 20: that is what they specialize in is in Spanish language productions,
40:22
Speaker 20: and so they've actually got some that folks are going
40:25
Speaker 20: to know in the Time of the Butterflies, I'm going
40:27
Speaker 20: to give them the titles actually in English, in a
40:29
Speaker 20: Time of the Butterflies, Al Quixote, loosely based on Don Quixote,
40:33
Speaker 20: The Brief and Marvelous Life of Us, grow Out, and
40:36
Speaker 20: La Gringa, which is actually celebrating it's thirtieth anniversary and
40:40
Speaker 20: it is the longest running Spanish language show.
40:43
Speaker 21: On off Broadway.
40:45
Speaker 20: Linga pretty they're pretty impressive, but yes, Heathers is absolutely
40:50
Speaker 20: is absolutely on my list.
40:51
Speaker 4: Okay, and then I don't know much about Chinese Republicans,
40:55
Speaker 4: but being that we celebrating Lunar New Year this year,
40:58
Speaker 4: I figured, what's that don't know about?
41:00
Speaker 21: It feels like.
41:01
Speaker 20: If it's really as a story about sort of climbing
41:04
Speaker 20: the corporate ladder and a little bit of interationally, there's.
41:08
Speaker 3: A there's a couple of really well known sitcom contributions
41:12
Speaker 3: to You've Got Friends and The Office And how close
41:15
Speaker 3: are they to the actual nostalgia of the actual show.
41:19
Speaker 2: Do you feel like you're back in the set.
41:21
Speaker 21: A little bit? But remember they are parodies, so you Liter.
41:26
Speaker 3: Friends wasn't a parody, but The Office already was a parody,
41:29
Speaker 3: So this is a parody of a parody life.
41:33
Speaker 21: That's very meta.
41:34
Speaker 4: Yeah, Singfeld and the musical parody about nothing right, Yeah.
41:43
Speaker 21: It's perfect. So yeah, there's a lot of NBC hits
41:46
Speaker 21: going in and actually.
41:47
Speaker 20: Bigfoot, which is also a musical, that's also got some
41:51
Speaker 20: sn now sort of tie ins as well. So interestingly enough,
41:55
Speaker 20: NBC seems to be doing a lot on Off Broadway
41:58
Speaker 20: as well, at.
41:59
Speaker 3: Lot of laughs on Off Broadway right now. And we
42:02
Speaker 3: can't play favorites with NBC. Disney's got a contribution as well,
42:06
Speaker 3: So you got Little Mermaid any others for sure.
42:11
Speaker 20: Little Mermaid also goes great into the family bucket as well.
42:15
Speaker 20: But I would say one more that's on my list
42:16
Speaker 20: that I almost forgot to share is Going Back Iraq,
42:19
Speaker 20: which actually closes this weekend. Was on the twenty second,
42:22
Speaker 20: So any of you Burt Bacharac fans out there, this
42:26
Speaker 20: is the show for you. Maybe do a little bit
42:29
Speaker 20: of a sing along, but if you like his songbook,
42:31
Speaker 20: The Look of Love happens to be my favorite, this
42:34
Speaker 20: is this is a good show for you.
42:36
Speaker 4: Yeah, And Zachary Stewart reviewed that and I happened to
42:40
Speaker 4: be with him the day after he reviewed it, and
42:42
Speaker 4: he said he can't get the songs out of out
42:44
Speaker 4: of his head. It was great. You also have the
42:48
Speaker 4: twenty fifth Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, which was on
42:52
Speaker 4: Broadway for a while and now it's touring around. Does
42:55
Speaker 4: this mean that it's going to be coming back to Broadway?
42:57
Speaker 4: Do you hear anything about that?
43:00
Speaker 21: I mean, I think it's anybody's guest.
43:01
Speaker 20: I mean, that's kind of the you know, the interesting
43:04
Speaker 20: thing I think about the New York City theater scene
43:07
Speaker 20: is that shows sort of move in and out, and
43:09
Speaker 20: we're all used to shows moving sort of from very
43:11
Speaker 20: expensive experimental theater off off off Broadway to Off Broadway
43:16
Speaker 20: to Broadway.
43:17
Speaker 21: Then they tour and then they tour.
43:20
Speaker 4: Like Mam and Mia. I mean Mam and Mia touring.
43:22
Speaker 4: And then it came back but as a touring production.
43:26
Speaker 4: So it was only here for a limited run. And
43:27
Speaker 4: I got to say, because we represent Ellen's Startus diner
43:31
Speaker 4: right next door, that show could have lasted for years.
43:34
Speaker 4: The lines, just the passion that people have for Mom
43:38
Speaker 4: and Mia. So and that party continues with the Mom
43:40
Speaker 4: and Mia Brunch. At some point, Tiffany, we got to
43:42
Speaker 4: go to that. It's a bottom starter. Yeah, we got
43:45
Speaker 4: to try that.
43:46
Speaker 2: Talk to me about the play that goes wrong?
43:48
Speaker 20: Well, the play that goes wrong, I'm going to say influence.
43:50
Speaker 20: I have not seen that yet, but that actually it's
43:53
Speaker 20: likely what it sounds like.
43:55
Speaker 21: Yeah, it's a little bit of everything that goes wrong.
43:57
Speaker 20: So any of you theater of us, you love a
43:58
Speaker 20: little stage production that kind of thing, I'll let you catash.
44:03
Speaker 6: Yeah.
44:03
Speaker 4: I've seen it a few times. Actually, that's one of
44:05
Speaker 4: the few I've gone because it's wonderful for families, but
44:07
Speaker 4: it also has that slapstick British humor. Fantastic. And then
44:11
Speaker 4: there was Peter Pan goes Wrong, and you know, I
44:13
Speaker 4: can't you can't go wrong with going to the play
44:15
Speaker 4: that goes wrong or celebrating off Broadway week.
44:18
Speaker 1: All right, where do they go for more infos?
44:20
Speaker 6: Isn'ty?
44:21
Speaker 21: They can go to NYC tourism dot com.

Speaker 1: In this new movie, The Dragon's Prophecy brings the new
45:01
Speaker 1: Middle East into focus with the message of perseverance, faith
45:05
Speaker 1: and has shared a global destiny.
45:07
Speaker 10: Could the fate of the world of humanity itself be
45:11
Speaker 10: somehow tied to this place?
45:13
Speaker 6: But long last, we have peace in the Middle East.
45:15
Speaker 22: Israel and Christians are coming together in a way they
45:19
Speaker 22: have never been before.
45:20
Speaker 1: Since the Book of Acts. But is this the end
45:23
Speaker 1: of a US and radical Islam? What does the Bible saying.
45:26
Speaker 22: We have to become fighters in the spirit for God.
45:30
Speaker 6: We don't accept what the enemy wants.
45:31
Speaker 1: To do with our culture.
45:32
Speaker 2: We don't accept what he wants to do.
45:33
Speaker 6: With the nation.
45:34
Speaker 22: If we keep fighting, we win to go Powerful Prophetic,
45:38
Speaker 22: a must see movie based on Jonathan Kahan's international bestseller
45:42

45:47

48:50
Speaker 4: one of my shows now this is way off off
48:52
Speaker 4: Broadway because it's taken place at the Barkley Center. But
48:54
Speaker 4: the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus returns this weekend,
48:59
Speaker 4: and that me just conjures up all my childhood, you know,
49:02
Speaker 4: we would always go to the circus. But it's going
49:04
Speaker 4: to run Saturday, February twenty first and Sunday the twenty second.
49:09
Speaker 4: In total, I think they have five shows and the
49:11
Speaker 4: tickets start as low as twenty dollars, So just go
49:15
Speaker 4: to Ringling Ringling dot com and get some more information
49:18
Speaker 4: about that. If you want to go back to Broadway,
49:22
Speaker 4: go to the Museum of Broadway and check out the
49:24
Speaker 4: costume exhibit dedicated to Black History Month. I just want
49:27
Speaker 4: to thank Julie, she was on last week for the
49:31
Speaker 4: Museum of Broadway. It's always a fabulous place. There's many
49:34
Speaker 4: exhibits one forty five West forty fifth Street between six
49:38
Speaker 4: and seventh. You can get more information at the Museum
49:41
Speaker 4: off Broadway dot com. And also there's a brand new
49:44
Speaker 4: exhibit and I think it's the first time that this
49:46
Speaker 4: wonderful One Time Square, which is where the ball drops.
49:50
Speaker 4: It drops right onto the roof of One Time Square.
49:53
Speaker 4: They have a new space that's open to the public
49:56
Speaker 4: and they're going to have eye candy and that is
50:00
Speaker 4: opening up this weekend, and tickets are as low as
50:03
Speaker 4: forty dollars. It's a sixty to ninety minute experience, and
50:06
Speaker 4: you can step into a delectable, multisensory dreamland at Eye
50:11
Speaker 4: Candy NYC. This four floor New York City themed immersive
50:15
Speaker 4: attraction re envisions the city as iconic spots and hidden
50:18
Speaker 4: gems through a playfil candy colored lens, putting the edible
50:22
Speaker 4: in the incredible. It sounds fabulous and I'm getting hungry
50:26
Speaker 4: just thinking about it, because it's dinner time and I
50:29
Speaker 4: just want to start with dessert, So I'm going to
50:31
Speaker 4: go to I Candy.
50:33
Speaker 3: Doesn't One Time Square also have the three hundred dollars
50:35
Speaker 3: option where you can take a piece of the ball home.
50:38
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's when you can go see the ball all
50:41
Speaker 4: the time. Now it's going to be permanently housed there,
50:44
Speaker 4: so visitors can go up to the top and see
50:47
Speaker 4: the ball and if you want a piece of that
50:50
Speaker 4: Waterford crystal that you can take off, because I think
50:54
Speaker 4: they change it every year, so they're you know, it's
50:56
Speaker 4: basically the balls for sale. Now. I don't know, but.
51:00
Speaker 3: Let's just say whoever came up with this idea was
51:01
Speaker 3: a genius because if they want new crystals every year,
51:04
Speaker 3: what better way than you get the public to.
51:05
Speaker 4: Pay for them, right and also make them keepsakes, and
51:10
Speaker 4: you know, people to talk about it all the time.
51:12
Speaker 4: There's so much to see and do as always, and
