This week’s guest is John Pullum, a TV host host, mentalist, hypnotist, motivational speaker, marketing genius and virtual show “tech guru”. This week’s episode has John discussing all of this and more.

John was the TV host of the Discovery Channel series “More Than Human“, the hypnosis / mind control expert for “Unsolved History“, the psychic expert for the “More Science of Magic“, game show host for “Thrill Rides: Put To The Test“, host of the series “Cheating Death“, as well as appearing on other national and international TV shows.

I believe we are at the precipice of a sea change of how we perform magic and reach audiences. With the advent of using various virtual platforms, we need to learn and embrace technology or be left behind. As years progress, I believe this will be the “new normal” as we use this technology to reach and entertain our clients. We are no longer constrained by time and distance as we can reach any audience at any time without having to worry about arranging for travel and lodging. But reaching these audiences we must stick to the “tried and true” marketing techniques such as client testimonials which will be used to book future shows, virtual or otherwise.

Over the past few month’s John has been busy moderating and co-hosting Franz Harary’s Quarantine Talk on Facebook. In this episode John talks about some of his TV appearances and also gives some incredible marketing ideas that you’ll be able to use right away. We also get into how our new world of virtual shows and ZOOM conferences can change things for the better as far as booking shows. Use ZOOM and StreamYard to your advantage when trying to land that gig. Get a paper and pencil ready because you’ll want to take notes on this one.
