The Lovely Isabella Star:

Isabella Star

Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to introduce you to the very lovely Isabella Star. She’s two fifths Clara Bow, two fifths Keith Moon, and one fifth Popov Vodka. She is gorgeous and sexy and she is going to take her clothes off for you at the Monday Night Tease’s show Scoundrels and Trollops at the 3Clubs on Vine Street (just north of Santa Monica) in Hollywood, California. Mark Monday, October 24th on your calendar. 9:30 pm.

Please join me and Phil Van Tee and Isabella and the rest of Pop’s Tarts for a fun, sexy, and entertaining show.

The Monday Night Tease is the longest running traditional burlesque show in Hollywood.

It is run by the fabulous and talented Lili VonSchtupp. The crowd is mixed and friendly, and welcoming. It is a good show for couples as well as single ladies and men. The atmosphere is fun and upbeat, and a maybe just a little raunchy. Magic, music, comedy and near-nekkid ladies–what could be better?

Intricate Web of Distraction:

This is my original routine for the color-changing knives, a great classic effect of close-up magic. This is called “The Intricate Web of Distraction.” The routine is available on DVD from School for Scoundrels, and the knives designed for my routine are available from Joe Mogar as the Whit Haydn Color Changing Knives.

I have been digitizing a number of video tapes for my new website at Pop’s Website, and I have one more to go to complete the set.

There are half a dozen stage and parlor clips and a dozen close-up clips at my Video Gallery.

Cards to Pocket:

This is from a performance in the Close-Up Gallery at the Magic Castle in 2007. This is my Cards to Pocket routine, a card trick I have been doing since about 1985. The ending was inspired by a magic move of Johnny Paul’s, where he vanishes the deck and then pulls it out of his waistband, fanned.

25,760 views of Medicine Show Band:

I had not checked in a long time, but just noticed that my video of Professor Dave Bourne and the Medicine Show Band had hit over 25, 760 views.

This is great!

Dave Bourne is one of the finest Old Time musicians around, and his band has incredible players. They appear on our Post-Modern Medicine Show, of course, as well as in our Radio-Medicine Show, our Old Time Internet Hour, and at every Soapy Smith Night at the Magic Castle in Hollywood.

Dave was the piano player at the Gem Saloon in HBO’s Deadwood, and created a lot of the music for that show. Dave started out playing piano in 1958 at the Calico Saloon at Knott’s Berry Farm.

He played bass for the Wagonmasters, a cowboy band that played ar0und the campfire at the Wagon Camp at Knott’s from 1955-1968.

You can find out more about Professor Dave Bourne and the Medicine Show Band, and purchase CDs at www.Saloonpiano.com.
