At last, the name of this podcast finally makes sense! My guest today is John Sturk, a fellow improvisor and magician. John is Musical Director for Second City, and has performed as MD for various other improv shows including Comedy Sportz and iO.  John is also the National President-Elect of the Society of American Magicians, the country's oldest magic organization.  Where has this guy been all my life?!  In this episode, we talk about our love for both improv and magic, and even find some parallels between the two arts.  I hope you enjoy listening to him as much as I did chatting with him.  To learn more about this amazing guy, visit his website at johnsturk.com.  To learn more about The Society of American Magicians, visit their website at magicsam.com.

Episode 6 - John Sturk

Magicians are often confused with being a “musician” when we tell people what we do. In the case of this week’s guest, John Sturk, both monikers are equally correct. John is a stage and street performer as well as a jazz organist. This week, John talks about performing on stage and on the streets of Colon, Michigan during the annual “busker contest” held during Abbott’s Get Together, Then in the evening, he plays the organ in the high school gym for the wonderful evening shows. Few other magic conventions offer live music in the evening shows which is, in part, what makes Abbott’s unique.But John is also the National Second Vice President of the Society of American Magicians. As he moves “up the ladder” to National President, he gives some advice this week for clubs to grow and become stronger. John was involved with the Chicago Magic Lounge and gives us a little insight and update on the popular nightclub. And he is currently providing content on his Facebook page with a weekly broadcast of the “Sturking Hour” where he plays a little music, interacts with special guests and answers questions in real time as well as taking phone calls like a regular radio chat show.Welcome to Darkstone's Picks LIVE recorded on 23 May 2020. Special Guest - John Sturk John Sturk is from Chicago,USA. He is a Magician &amp; Musician.
