    Kozmo will teach his killer Matrix two-coin routine, show off The Jar and offer many other cool ideas. He will tell tales from the street, a story about the late Harry Anderson, share some theory and ideas on practicing and building audiences. Plus--- have some fun.

    Kozmo (aka Theodore “Ted” Brainard) has been called a “Street Magic Legend,” having performed over 30,000 shows. He now concentrates on directing, producing and marketing Kozmo magic videos with the likes of Chris Capeheart, Doc Eason, and Oscar Munoz plus producing Reel Magic video magazine.

    Garrett Thomas talks to Kozmo about his life as a street performer and video producer with great stories about Cellini, Harry Anderson, and his desire to have a positive impact on the magic community in the current issue of Reel Magic. For a preview watch here.

    His 2016 conversation with Scott Wells will give you some idea of the fun he has planned for us. Watch a trailer or his “switchbox” effect, THE JAR . Stay up-to-date by checking his Facebook page. The Oakland Magic Circle August 2020 Newsletter 2

  • Next Month - Tuesday, September 8 Our September lecturer will be Ran’D Shine . Mark your calendar on Tuesday, September 8 for another very special night of performance, teaching and insight live and direct from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Watch some video highlights here . Ran’D on Penn & Teller Fool Us. The British MagicSeen Magazine called him “The College King!” Read the article .

    Ran’D Shine’s annual live Heart and Soul of Magic Tour is on hold this year but a Virtual version of a new show can be watched here . Starring a line-up of African-American magicians it benefits Associated Black Charities. Watch a short documentary. Listen to an interview on Discourse in Magic.

    KOZMO ANSWERS OUR FIVE QUESTIONS

    1. Please tell us the first magic trick(s) you were proud to perform and about how old were you? I don’t remember what the first trick was, I was young but I went away from magic and rediscovered it in my 20's. I was on vacation in Orlando and came across a magic shop and the demonstrator floated a bill....then he said “for $20 I will teach you how to do it”....I paid the $20 and was hooked.

  • 2. And the first important magic book(s) and why? I was never a reader. 3. If you were going to a desert island for six months to do a deep dive into your magic what three effects would you take with you to perfect? And what three books would you bring along? The Rings...I would spend 6 months perfecting Cellini's Ring Routine (“Lord and Master of the Rings”) and perhaps Shoot Ogawa’s Ninja Rings. Very magical :).

    You can watch a preview of Cellini’s routine here. Shoot performs his Ninja Rings. 4. You are planning a dinner party followed by your magic show. Among the guests can be any five people from history (living or dead, magician or not). Who would you invite? If he was still with us Cellini would be first on my list.

    Watch the intro to my tribute to Cellini and excerpts from a lecture . The Oakland Magic Circle August 2020 Newsletter 4
