Whit "Pop" Haydn reads his booklet Street Magic, based on a lecture given to the Magic Castle in 1997. These two mp3 files (each nearly an hour long) cover a lot of territory--from working the streets of New York City as a magician and shell game operator to traveling around Europe as a street performer, and then finally landing his first truly "professional" gig at an amusement park in Cumberland Falls.
Along the way, he learned many things that were essential to the street performer, but have also been important throughout his career regardless of the venue and performing conditions. Pop teaches techniques for gathering and holding a crowd, for keeping their focus and attention, and for enlisting them "in the cause." These are the lessons and stories that molded his performance style and his understanding of magic.
There is much of value to be gleaned here, both for the performer and the artist.
